What can we do to PREVENT this new musical from ever reaching the light of day???
Good GOD! Tolkien must be spinning in his grave over this one!
QUICK - What can we do to prevent the mindless slaughter of innocent plotlines??? |

I'm afraid this is old news and therefore not preventable - it's already happened
But thankfully, it flopped!

Great Merciful Bilbos! How could they DO that?!
I mean, is it me, or is this just the LAMEST idea for a musical in this sad little sphere?I could see a spoof-trilogy musical, maybe... You know, dancing Gollums and promiscuous Elfish maidens and stuff... but NOT the real story! Sheesh! What some bonehead producers will try for money! Thanks Vorowen, for the news. It was all new to me when I joined up here. I guess I should count my lucky elven stars for that! Oh well, dead thread... sink to the bottom, sad little thread of pointless clamor. |

let's imagine good lyrics for such a bizarre and twisted flop!
what do you think of Gollum's Song of Praise: Oh listen to the lonely praise of lovelost nights and weary days alone within the mountains deep alone with Precious do I creep! My Precious ring, a lovely thing a golden thing of which I sing so soft and sparkly - Oh so pretty picks me up when I feel shitty! My darling buddy Deagol his heart so big, his neck so small, he gave me this before he fell now Deagol can go to hell! My Precious ring, a lovely thing a golden thing of which I sing so soft and sparkly - Oh so pretty picks me up when I feel shitty! And now my Precious gone away - some Bilbo bumbled, gone astray, and now I wallow in self pity and contemplate those riddles witty! (pretty crappy, huh, Alcuin?) |

No harm done. If some folks enjoy it, maybe they will also join and frequent Entmoot. To each his own. There is no harm in it. If some folks enjoy it, maybe they will also join and frequent Entmoot. To each his own: do not begrudge another his pleasaunce if it is nor illegal nor immoral nor unethical; and besides, you may also benefit if the production produces more Tolkien fans, as it may well. It isn’t my cup of tea, either; but let’s not deny fans of such entertainments their opportunity to see, hear, and enjoy it. |

Found some of the lyrics:
Gollums song In the lake on my own I was waiting all alone Baby, by myself I sit and wait and wonder about you It's dark as a dreary night Seems like nothing's going right Won't you tell me honey how can I go on here without you Yes, I'm down and feeling blue And I don't know what to do, oh-oh Ring, ring, so marvelous, precious and small Ring, ring, the happiest sound of them all Ring, ring, I stare and I moan on the wall And I sit all alone impatiently Won't you please understand the need in me Ring, ring, so marvelous, precious and small Ring, ring, so marvelous, precious and small You were here and now you're gone Hey, did I do something wrong I just can't believe that I could be so badly mistaken Was it me or was it you Tell me, are we really through Won't you hear me cry and you will know that my heart is breaking Please forgive and then forget Or maybe darling better yet, oh-oh Ring, ring, so marvelous, precious and small Ring, ring, the happiest sound of them all Ring, ring, I stare at the phone on the wall And I sit all alone impatiently Won't you please understand the need in me Ring, ring, so marvelous, precious and small So, ring, ring, so marvelous, precious and small Oh-oh, ring, ring, so marvelous, precious and small So, ring, ring, so marvelous, precious and small |
