PETER JACKSON’S LOTR and HOBBIT TRILOGY (endless spoof)





Now, I present you some The Lord of the Rings trilogy and The Hobbit fun videos. This 6 movies are now famous in pop-culture. I would say the 2 trilogies are now material for endless spoof in pop/geek culture; just like Star Wars, Carrie, The godfather, The wizard of Oz,E.T. and many more whos lines are used over and over again and the parodies and jokes never gets old. Here is a page that will help you remeber where TLOTR was named for example. HERE

Here are some videos you probably saw before but... I know you will watch 'em again and again and again. Enjoy.

If you are interested....why not?

"I HAVE RECUT PETER JACKSON’S HOBBIT TRILOGY INTO A SINGLE 4-HOUR FILM"





This is what a fan of the movies -tolkieneditor- is advertising on his page. This fan decided the trilogy needed some cuts and changes to be more similar to the actual book story, so....what did he do?

His re-edit/re-cut the trilogy into a 4.5 hour movie. He got some links and even an original DVD cover. Personally, I can't get enough of the movies and probably I would watch them again even if Peter Jackson would add an extra 2 hours on each of the movies "the more the merrier" , I would watch them.

But if you would like to see this new fan re-cut version: click there--à Tolkien Editor and enjoy it. What do you think about this? Would you watch it? Yes or No Why? 

I would like to hear your thoughts about it on the comment section.

Cheaters!

1. Infidelity

Original Meaning: Lacking religious faith / Unfaithfulness to a king

The word infidelity comes from the Latin word infidelitas.




The Journey:

  1. The Religious Era (1300s–1400s): When the word entered Middle English (via Old French infidélité), it strictly meant a lack of religious faith, paganism, or being an "infidel" (unbeliever).

  2. The Political Era (1400s): By the early 15th century, the meaning widened slightly to mean disloyalty or treason against a sovereign or king.

  3. The Romantic Shift (1500s): By the 16th century, people began applying the concept of "faithfulness" beyond God and kings to human love. Breaking the sacred "vow" or promise made in marriage was seen as a personal loss of faith, and infidelity officially took on its romantic definition.





2. Cheater / Cheat

Original Meaning: A medieval tax collector!

The origin of "cheat" is one of the most surprising plot twists in the English language.

The Journey:

  1. The Feudal Era (1300s): In feudal England, if a landowner died without an heir, their property legally reverted (or "fell back") to the King. In Anglo-French, this legal land forfeiture was called an eschete (from Latin excadere, "to fall out").

  2. The Corrupt Officers: The royal officers appointed to seize this land for the crown were called escheators. People soon shortened the name to cheators. These cheators gained a terrible reputation for being greedy, corrupt, and using legal trickery to steal land from vulnerable families.

  3. From Job Title to Dishonesty (1500s–1600s): Because people loathed escheators, the word "cheater" stopped being a job title and became a general term for a dishonest person, a swindler, or someone who tricked people at card games.

  4. The Slang for Romance (1930s): While using "cheat" to mean breaking game rules was common for centuries, using "cheat on" specifically to mean romantic unfaithfulness is actually very recent! It emerged in American slang in the 1930s, framing a relationship as a agreement with rules—where sneaking around with someone else was "breaking the rules" to get an unfair advantage.
