- ~How Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings Movies Changed the Book's Characters
Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings film trilogy delves deep into the mythos of Middle-earth, providing the most fully realized film adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's beloved books to date. Many of the films' characters remained remarkably unchanged in the transition from the page to the screen. Actor Andy Serkis, for instance, received praise from fans and critics alike for faithfully portraying Sméagol/Gollum in all his greedy despair. The late Ian Holm is also remembered for his spot-on rendition of the beloved Bilbo Baggins. [More]

- ~The Six Degrees of Túrin Turambar
In Which the Son of Húrin Is Raised Among Elves, Goes Out to Seek His (Mis)fortune, and Becomes a Host of Household Names While At Least Trying to Not Wreck All of Beleriand. The fantastical yet tragic story that became Chapter 21, "Of Túrin Turambar," is one that J.R.R. Tolkien had worked on in the earliest days of his created world, before there was a legendarium. I mean, the story's outline spawned The Silmarillion itself. [More]
