Ian James Walters, who sung I Dreamed a Dream and Mad World as Gollum, is up to his old tricks. This time the song is “Somebody That I Used to Know,” with the added bonus of Gollum as a relationship counselor. Look, just go with it, it works.

Now I’m imagining what Kermit could do with Legolas’ dialogue. “They’re taking the Hobbits to… gulp… Isengard.”

Skip to 1:22 for the Hobbit stuff, unless you want to hear noted Hobbit expert Gary Busey talk about Korea, Lapland, baby reindeer, and the (questionable) etymology of the word “horny.”
Vaguely NSFW, but it’s Sunday and you’re a rebel.

Originally recorded by Tears for Fears, “Mad World” was covered by Michael Andrews and Gary Jules for the movie Donnie Darko. Here’s Gollum singing it. But it’s not just a cover, it’s Gollum singing about stuff that happens in Lord of the Rings to the tune of the song. Pretty creative if you ask me. But it’s not the first time! You may remember the same guy doing a song from Les Misérables. But what is up with the dude in the background?

This is about when Sauron decided that he needed to find a hotter place to forge his ring than in his kitchen. (That’s Nerdalicious!)

Guys, it’s been at least a few weeks since the Tolkien estate got into a copyright dispute with someone. The lucky person this time around is Daniel Grotta, author of J.R.R. Tolkien: Architect of Middle-earth, the very first biography of the legendary author.
The book was first published in 1976, and now Grotta wants to release an updated e-book edition (for free). But he can’t. Because the Tolkien estate’s lawyers are standing in the wings, slapping rolled-up lawsuits against their palms while backup dancers finger-snap menacingly behind them.

The LotR Project spends most of its time quantitatively recording, researching, and presenting details and data from Tolkein’s Middle Earth setting. I see absolutely no deviation between their usual work and this poster, which is being offered for sale.

Don’t pretend like this isn’t the best licensed character to product integration you haven’t seen all week. Though, as Rebecca pointed out to me, you just know some jerk is going to put pepper in Saruman and salt in Gandalf just to screw with everybody. But Ian McKellan and Christopher Lee aren’t the only Lord of the Rings actors to soon be immortalized as ceramic food containers. No, there’s plenty more where these came from.

"SHARKS. Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the uterus." - A thing I just said in chat, sans context.

In a perfect world, that would make those men MORE sympathetic to women when they talk about objectification of women in media.
Susana Polo
But really the take away from this is that two seconds of quickly covered up Chris Hemsworth stomach makes some men feel objectified.
Susana Polo
Good to know that a broad trend across much of visual media has effected one man, in one shot. We can all go home, sexism is over.
Susana Polo
Whenever we bring up objectification of women in modern action movies, people always bring up the one shot of Chris Hemsworth shirtless.

Tell me that somebody, somewhere, has written Gandalf M-preg fanfic with the title "A Wizard is Never Late."

The Voyager crew is in 1996 LA. Also Ed Begley and Sarah Silverman are there. I LOVE IT when Star Trek does cheesy time travel.
