In The Return of the King, the intense retreat from Osgiliath was edited very differently in an earlier version of the film. Initially, the whole sequence was meant to cut back and forth with Gandalf and Pippin arriving at Minas Tirith coincidentally at the exact same time the

In the Return of the King Extended Edition, we see Saruman and Gríma die at Isengard but this scene is completely different in the books. In Tolkien’s canon, Saruman survives and later brings ruin to the Shire, leading to the “Scouring of the Shire,” one of the most important

The great secret of the classics is that, despite their reputation for being boring & antiquated, they are often beautiful and hilarious and devastatingly perceptive, to the degree that people continue to read them for centuries. You will have a richer life for having read them.

The scene where Gríma stabs Saruman in the back has a surprising bit of behind-the-scenes truth behind it. During filming, Peter Jackson asked Sir Christopher Lee how someone would realistically react to being stabbed from behind. Lee then explained the exact sound and physical

The Oxford English Dictionary lists “yester-morning” as an archaic word first recorded in 1654-55. Ma’am, your two-year-old is speaking seventeenth-century English.

This child is channeling the ancients. Believe it or not, English used to have this word. We also said “yesternight” for last night, “ereyesterday” for the day before yesterday, and “overmorrow” for the day after tomorrow. (Old English: gestrenæht, ærgestradæg, ofermorgen.)
