LOTR Movie Trivia Monday!
|
Can't Post
|
|
The rules are simple.
I ask six questions from the LOTR Trivial Pursuit game. This is a game released as a tie-in for the LOTR movie trivia, so all questions are LOTR movie centric. The questions are divided into six categories: Things, Evil Characters, Good Characters, Places & History, Warfare, and Making Movies.
I will post the answers for the questions on Friday for you to score yourselves. Until then, answer them, discuss them, joke about them, and feel free to award plenty of Invisible Extra Credit to those who deserve it.
For the record, the LOTR Trivial Pursuit game has some questions that are just too easy, some questions that are awkwardly phrased, and some questions that seem to be flat wrong. I am combining questions from a couple of different cards to get these sets and to try and weed out some of the odd ones. Also, I wouldn't put too much thought into worrying about whether or not the questions fit their categories.
Here are this week's questions:
What creature is depicted on the nose-guard of Eomer's helmet?
What animal does Eowyn call Grima Wormtongue?
Who thinks it's an "encouraging thought" that Frodo was meant to have the Ring?
Who was one very much like a Hobbit before becoming a tormented creature of the dark?
What do Merry and Pippin throw at the Orcs when the Ents attack Isengard?
What does the name "Three Foot Six" of the trilogy's production department refer to?

Q: Who was one very much like a Hobbit before becoming a tormented creature of the dark?

Q: What do Merry and Pippin throw at the Orcs when the Ents attack Isengard? A: rocks Q: What does the name "Three Foot Six" of the trilogy's production department refer to? A: Uuuuuuuuuh...Was that the department that handled digital/visual effects?

things: horse
evil characters: all I can think of is snakes, but since I like snakes, that's not much of an epithet...
good characters: Gandalf
place and history: Gollum/Smeagol
warfare: rocks
making movies: hobbit height

Thanks for the fun AD.. 
What creature is depicted on the nose-guard of Eomer's helmet?
Most likely a horse is a horse of course.
What animal does Eowyn call Grima Wormtongue?
A dirty rotten lecherous slug? “Get thy hands off me thou filthy scum-suckin' sluggard!”
Who thinks it's an "encouraging thought" that Frodo was meant to have the Ring?
Gandalf
Who was one very much like a Hobbit before becoming a tormented creature of the dark?
Smeagol – Ha! Tricksy question. Gollum would be incorrect, huh?
What do Merry and Pippin throw at the Orcs when the Ents attack Isengard?
Pieces of rock (?) Probably not fecal matter as should have been.
What does the name "Three Foot Six" of the trilogy's production department refer to?
Hmmm, any hobbit (?)

What creature is depicted on the nose-guard of Eomer's helmet?
I always wondered how he could see anything around that horse...
What animal does Eowyn call Grima Wormtongue?
Hmmm... a snake? a weasel? a rat? I gotta watch that one again...
Who thinks it's an "encouraging thought" that Frodo was meant to have the Ring?
Gandalf, as I recall
Who was one very much like a Hobbit before becoming a tormented creature of the dark?
Gollum
What do Merry and Pippin throw at the Orcs when the Ents attack Isengard?
Rocks?
What does the name "Three Foot Six" of the trilogy's production department refer to?
Sounds like the average height of a Hobbit, though that's an inference on my part.

I'd have to guess a horse!
What animal does Eowyn call Grima Wormtongue?
Snake!
Who thinks it's an "encouraging thought" that Frodo was meant to have the Ring?
Gandalf (easy for him to say!)
Who was one very much like a Hobbit before becoming a tormented creature of the dark?
Gollum
What do Merry and Pippin throw at the Orcs when the Ents attack Isengard?
rocks (how they got them I can't tell you)
What does the name "Three Foot Six" of the trilogy's production department refer to?
I'm not sure exactly what this is asking, but it must be something to do with the height of Hobbits. So maybe costuming? Or scale work?
“Tollers,” Lewis said to Tolkien, “there is too little of what we really like in stories. I am afraid we shall have to try and write some ourselves.”

"By Elbereth and Luthien the fair, you shall have neither the Ring nor me!" ~Frodo
"And then Gandalf arose and bid all men rise, and they rose, and he said: 'Here is a last hail ere the feast endeth. Last but not least. For I name now those who shall not be forgotten and without whose valour nought else that was done would have availed; and I name before you all Frodo of the Shire and Samwise his servant. And the bards and the minstrels should give them new names: Bronwe athan Harthad and Harthad Uluithiad , Endurance beyond Hope and Hope Unquenchable.." ~Gandalf, The End of the Third Age , from The History of Middle Earth series

Who was one very much like a Hobbit before becoming a tormented creature of the dark?
My ans. Smeagol – Ha! Tricksy question. Gollum would be incorrect, huh?
I want a 5 out of 6 personal best!
The question could mean a pre-Ring Smeagol? Not yet Gollum? How about it AD? (Purty Please!)
