My ex-boss was over there recently with hia Flemish wife. He said no one really noticed.
******************************************
The audacious proposal stirred his heart. And the stirring became a song, and it mingled with the songs of Gil-galad and Celebrian, and with those of Feanor and Fingon. The song-weaving created a larger song, and then another, until suddenly it was as if a long forgotten memory woke and for one breathtaking moment the Music of the Ainur revealed itself in all glory. He opened his lips to sing and share this song. Then he realized that the others would not understand. Not even Mithrandir given his current state of mind. So he smiled and simply said "A diversion.”

"Tolkien, like Lewis, believed that, through story, the real world would become a more magical place, full of meaning. We see its patterns and colors in a fresh way. The recovery of a true view of the world applies both to individual things, like hills and stones, and to the cosmic - the depths of space and time itself. For in sub-creation, in Tolkien's view, there is a "survey" of space and time. Reality is captured on a miniature scale. Through stories like The Lord of the Rings, a renewed view of things is given, illuminating the homely, the spiritial, the physical, and the moral dimensions of the world."
Tolkien and C.S. Lewis- The Gift of Friendship -Duriez
May the grace of Manwë let us soar with eagle's wings!
In the air, among the clouds in the sky
Here is where the birds of Manwe fly
Looking at the land, and the water that flows
The true beauty of earth shows
With the stars of Varda lighting my way
In all the realms this is where I stay
In the realm of Manwë Súlimo
By El~Cugu
From the website: 'The Realm of Manwe'

Celebrimbor: "Pretty rings..."
Dwarves: "Pretty rings..."
Men: "Pretty rings..."
Sauron: "Mine's better."
"Ah, how ironic, the addictive qualities of Sauron’s master weapon led to its own destruction. Which just goes to show, kids - if you want two small and noble souls to succeed on a mission of dire importance... send an evil-minded b*****d with them too." - Gandalf's Diaries, final par, by Ufthak.

Not to mention the main argument against a Tintin movie. Which is that doing a Tintin movie in English, by English-speaking people, with English-speaking actors speaking in English, is pretty high in the list of Very Bad Ideas

about Rin Tin Tin I mean. I have the same association whenever I see the title, and since I'm too lazy to find out what Tin Tin is actually about, I just imagine a dog.

He could line up a bank of monitors in his workroom at home and have his eyes and ears all around the world!
Gird yourselves *clears throat and sings...*
He did it before and he can do it again,
and he can do it again.
He's got a heck of a job to do
But you can bet that he'll see it thru.
He did it before and he can do it again,
And he will do it again;
We're one for all and we're all for one;
He'll get those films right before he's done.
Million of voices are ringing,
Singing as we follow along.
He did it before and he can do it again,
And WE will do it again!
We did it before, WE'LL do it again!
[original 1941 lyrics written by Charles Tobias and Cliff Friend] We did it before and we can do it again
And we will do it again
We've got a heck of a job to do
But you can bet that we'll see it thru.
We did it before and we can do it again
And we will do it again
We're one for all and we're all for one
They'll get a licking before we're done
Millions of voices are ringing
Singing as we march along
We did it before and we can do it again
And we will do it again
We'll knock them over and then we'll get the guy in back of them
We did it before, we'll do it again
 
Trust him... The Hobbit is coming!
