Tom Bombadil gave the hobbits their swords (not Aragorn). The hobbit swords were magicked to be more effective against the Witch King of Angmar and his minions during the Cardolan war in the Barrow-downs region that Frodo's sword glows red in the presence of the Witch King. But the movies cut out altogether that Frodo stabbed the Witch King so any rusty old sword would do in the films. Want to see a 44 hour version of the film? I'm in the process of making it, Book 1 already done.

The Wire. Maybe you'll like Daredevil or Amazing World of Gumball

Can we all agree we just felt empty at the end if Hannibal😭

yes physical media use gotta worry about the players

me going out to thrift stores and going through their dvd bins is another level

If you wan't more insight into the book I would highly recommend the official Reader's Companion book by Hammond & Scull. It will allow you to get more out of the books.

I feel that people think the Tom Bombadil episode "doesn't fit" because pretty much every adaption leaves it out.

I first read these books, The Hobbit and Silmarillion starting back in the 70s when I was around 14 and I still do every couple of years

NATURE EMOJI HERE

Bombadil is not an allegory. We know this because Tolkien does not do allegories due to his severe disliking of them.

👏

Loved this video!! A very fresh idea to find new movies. 👏🏻 My top four on Letterboxd is Titanic, The Neverending Story, Burning and Your Name. I’m so glad you watched Whisper of the Heart, that is my most favourite Ghibli movie 🥹❤

Looking forward to see videos on Two Towers and Return of the King 🙂 🦊

Those books fits tight in the Box you can use chalk or something to loosen it up

Fun idea! Also love the black and white blouse!

I’m not sure if these movies are on your radar, but if you liked Brief Encounter and stories of yearning, “Now, Voyager” is a great classic made in the same era; and “The Taste of Things” may be a very recent classic.

Bobbi here👋🏾! This is was so lovely and I was so happy that you got to experience the craziness of Bring It On for the first time! 🫶🏾

your film videos are so lovely 🥺🥺🥺 really making me want to join in on the whole crossing all the ghiblin films personal challenge

the phone case looks so good 😊

👏🏽

Love this video idea!!! Haven’t seen any of the first four of your first toker, but all sound fascinating!

Whisper Heart is my fav! If you like it, you might like Cat Returns too, it is kind of its spinoff!

Top 4...Saving Private Ryan, Titanic, Mad Max Fury Road, and Deathly Hallows PT2! Cool Video as well!!

This was a great video idea. Definitely a good way to expand your movie watching boundaries. 👏

Loved hearing your thoughts on Only Yesterday!! I definitely understand where you’re coming from, her family is so cruel 🥲 also this video is such a fun way to watch movies you haven’t seen before! Loved it Liv 💞🥰

Your videos are such a delight !! I love all your recommendations . I'm def gonna watch whisper of the heart.

I haven’t even heard of half of these movies 😵‍💫

👏 Since you were on a japanese movie sprint, I'd like to add "Tampopo" to the recommendations. It's about a woman that gets help from two truck drivers to improve her ramen shop. A precursor to legends and lattes, maybe? It's really beautiful and poetic without being pretentious or inintelligible. It's from 1985 so it may be a bit hard to find.

What’s your top four on Letterboxd?

Great list of creators Olivia! Your voice is very soothing too! Thanks for posting this video, Have a nice day!

🎬 I definitely grew up loving The Last Unicorn 🦄 I can't pick favorites. I always say Casablanca but I know you've seen that. Wings of Desire is one I recommend.

I loved this video and haven’t seen anyone else do this before. I love Letterboxd. I feel that I have been burnt out with watching film and it is now a chore so watching you talk about films with so much passion is awesome. My top 4 on Letterboxd are Sunset Boulevard, All About Eve, Double Indemnity, and Whatever Happened to Baby Jane 🎬

I am so glad to see you have read The Fellowship of the Ring. However, The Lord of the Rings is not a series. It is one book that was published in three volumes due to its length. 🌳

Yes, I can see why Tom's inclusion is missing because he does appear to exist outside of the world that all of the other characters are participating in, even Gandalf who is wise. Gandalf himself is also a very old friend of Tom's. I think Tom is unaffected, as you said, he is not interested in power. I suspect that he thinks of the ring as a plaything of very young children still caught up in jealousies, envy, various desires; I think that he sees all of the people of middle earth in that way. Note how when he helps the hobbits he treats even the seemingly evil as children overstepping their marks. He never gets angry or afraid.

So many books are far better than the film adaptations. When you watch a film, no matter how great they are (I love the Lord Of The Rings films, and The Hobbit Trilogy) you are seeing it through the filter of the director/s, producer/s, the company that is financing the movie, and everyone else that is involved. When you read the book it is just you and the original author, and that is a wonderful thing.

Ur so sweet and cute and i like u dvd and bul Ray movies it David foster by the way hot 🥵🔥 girl 😊

☕️❤

Which paper white is this ?

It is very interesting to hear your thoughts while reading the book. There is no way to fit Aragorn's parting words into the story of the book. Aragorn and Frodo do not see each other after Frodo makes his decision to leave the fellowship behind. I would have liked to hear you thoughts about the barrow wight.

This might sound weird, but why are your hands so pretty!! Also, love the colour of the case. I am looking for a Kindle case and have been looking at this one, was wondering if you could maybe do a review on it and show a 360? If possible of course. <3.

☕💙

Aaah yes Tom Bombadil....we all debate on who he is. But Tom would have been too confusing for the movie and it was already cut because of time. Maybe one day when we will dig up this supposedly mythical 15 hour version.

nice collection! goodfellas is one of my favorites

I want to read all about Vincent van Gogh, his story, his art, his struggle, which book would be good for getting to know everything about him ? Can you suggest please?

84, charing cross road is also available as an audio book and there is a movie available on Tubi. It follows the book so well 😊

🐰

You need to watch There’s still tomorrow. It’s an italian movie that came out last year I think and it’s everywhere🥹

On my way to goodreads to like your review about "Normal People" because I loved it 👌🏻

☕👍
