You don’t know Hollywood very well.

It will have 1 hour 30 minutes of Sam Merry and Pippin argue about potaeto and potahtoe. And Sauron will spend his time mentioning all the genders and races and gods can’t kill him while he got stabbed in his face.

timelighter,

Maybe this time they can put in some GOD DAMN TOM BOMBADIL

BoastfulDaedra,

You sit the FUCK BACK DOWN, BOMBADIL! You won a Tolkien sweepstakes and got name dropped in the book, that’s all!!!

He should also come out with some delicious spreads for toast, he could call them Jamdalf.

d20bard,

Gets back up, “also, his name is Jolam.” Lies back down.

Annoyed_Crabby,

Ohh i see it’s a geeraffe, a long necked animal.

And power ranger called down a guyan robot to fight guyan monster enemy.

TheMarkus,

The genius Tolkien, ever generous, gestured for a round of gin martinis from his giant gentle giraffe. Over gentle murmurs from the crowd, I caught the gist of his speech: genuinely it’s pronounced Jandalf.

Tolkien fanatics: "Link?"

Also...link?

ThatFembyWho,

I mean… it might be $200 that I’ll never justify spending. It might be entirely pointless and tarnishing professor Tolkien’s legacy. But it’s still going on my wishlist, yeh

ThatFembyWho,

ps did I mention it’s illustrated by ALAN LEE

DigitalTraveler42,

Yandalf the Yrey

Manifish_Destiny,

Do you pronounce jpeg as “jayfeg”?

SpaceNoodle,

No, “jaypej.”

BoastfulDaedra,

Juhpoogga.

@MeanEYE@lemmy.world avatar

No, zhepeJ… you know same G pronunciation as in JIF.

lorez,

Fuck him.

ggppjj,

I can’t, he’s dead.

giggling_engine,
@giggling_engine@lemmy.world avatar

Of course you can

ggppjj,

Only his corpse. Not him.

lorez,

Fuck his estate.

Jackcooper,

pronounces a proper noun differently than its creator then insisting he’s the one who’s wrong

Smh. I’d like to tell French people the way they pronounce their words is wrong too, wish me luck.

dudinax,

Op doesn’t know Frodo’s real name is Froda. Tolkien changed it for modern ears.

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot, (edited )

Yep. And Samwise was Banazîr.

EDIT: Just did some more checking and, while Bilbo’s name is actually Bilba, Frodo’s name isn’t Froda. It’s Maura.
