I FOUND THE SILMARILLION

im proud, i got it today about an hour ago, im at page 60 now, i think it is brill anyone who has read it can you tell me if it gets better, (if possible)

Talk to Drunk Nazgul...

amazing work, it is my favorite story tolkien did (although it is really just a bunch of stories pieced together, and plus isnt it all just one big story anyways, lol)

well, then i probably should go read it too....

Correct

It's imo really the most important book of Tolkien.

im up to page 90 now, its great, i was just wondering is shelob is in anyway a offspirg or decendant of ungoliant

Yes she is
She is her last daughter.

thanks, i was thinking about it like, can anyone tell me how im only a member yet people whp have joined after me are senior members, and i change my mind, melkor/morgoth was better than sauron

Perhaps thats because of the number of posts

Yes he was

but only just

It never explained Ungoliant satisfactorily to my mind. Melkor did succeed in excluding the Valar from Middle Earth - good comeback. I would like to have seen what Utumno was like (in LOTR it is referred to as "...the Underworld of old..."

i need to go to barnes & nobles, a bookstore for people in different countries, idk if there is barnes & nobles around the world...

Where is the UnderworldOfOld mentioned?

"Grond" the battering ram which the trolls used to break the gates of Minas Tirith was "...named after the hammer of the Underworld of old..." Melkor's hammer.

Ah ok thanks

It's a great, if somewhat cut-up, book.

i want it...........i'll give it read when my exams are over.
:-)

hopefully by now you've finished the book...

i am, and wow, remember when Mah modded us

if we both can remember that...then we've been on too long

lmao, lol...this is awesome. Old thread.

Feanor, digging up some antique threads, eh? You can be a great archaeologist.

just call me indiana feanor...

LMAO!

wow , Mah, do you know how long i haven't seen that name in here.

Nah Sauron, I read the Silmarillon in 2002

well i read it in 2003

point proven

by now we've all read the book ... and we all agree that it's not written in the same convention as the trilogy

hence, it's inability to be translated into a movie ... i know, i know ... old and tired argument

but what if they could? what if someone were crazy enough to tackle such a daunting task?

what would that writer(s) need to utilize in order to make it into a movie?

concentrate on one part of the story and disregard all the others that make up the silmarillion?

if you've got to ask yourself...what is the silmarillion?

anyone? anyone? anyone?

Yes, I was better than you!
