J.R.R. Tolkien - Master of the Rings - The Definitive Guide to the World of the Rings
J.R.R. Tolkien - Master of the Rings - The Definitive Guide to the World of the Rings This comprehensive survey of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings is billed as "the definitive guide to the world of the Rings," and it delivers what it promises. Hosted by Tolkien scholar Robert Di Napoli, the 80-minute documentary is academic without being dry or pretentious, covering such aspects of the Tolkien epic as its literary influences (including Beowulf), character and plot analysis, inspirations on other arts (such as the progressive rock of the 1970s), and enduring popularity. While Tolkien's fiction is spectacularly visualized in the artwork of the Hildebrandt brothers and Roger Dean, an impressive variety of Tolkien experts--from literary scholar Helen Kidd to former Yes keyboardist Rick Wakeman--offer eloquent insight into the value of Tolkien's writing. A Hildebrandt gallery is included on the DVD, along with supplemental interview clips to expand on previous discussions and further examine Tolkien's lasting influence. Altogether, this is an eminently respectable study that any Rings fan will readily appreciate. --Jeff Shannon

Resolved Question: I need to know the name a of literary/film work...?
So this will sound weird but I had a bad dream that I just woke up from. And what is bothering me is that I know the dream was the running of a literary work/film. I need help figuring out what work that is. All I can really remember by now is that I was in the place of a small character, like a boy. That I was with a group of three other people, one of whom was a man and one was a women. The women is almost guiding the other three people through the house which is old, and very creepy. It is stormy outside. And this is what is sticking in my mind. The man out of the group runs into another person, a women in a scarlet room. And he stabs her. Just once, more out of surprise then anything. But I have a feeling that when I read the work she was wearing scarlet, not in a scarlet room. Well this is probably pointless, but why not try anyway. No rude comments please, but if you know what I am talking about please speak up... (more...)
