The stone ages of Middle Earth...
The Movies That Could've Been
(Part 2)
More movies! The inhabitants of Middle Earth may not
have had "moving pictures" or movies in their day, but if they had...just
think of the movies that could've come from the Lord of the Rings
Hollywood wannabes:
Reservoir
Wargs
The tail...or
rather, tale...of heists gone awry. Reservoir Wargs chronicles a
rough band of wargs ---
lead by Asht --- in Minas Eriol and their failed attempts to steal
Arnorian Rubble and Pottery without getting killed! These rabid wargs
attempt to steal in order to pay their medical bills, but alas there are
others on Middle Earth trying to burgle those same pieces. Watch as the
wargs chew off an ear or two and beat up other burglars attempting to kill
them while also stealing the rubble and pottery out from under them!
Down and Out
in Barrow Downs
Confused, tired of
running in circles and unable to find her way home, Lalia attempts suicide
on the cryptstep of a family of Barrow-Wights who decide to take
her in...at least until the next group of unwitting and unsuspecting
"saviors" arrives!
One Flew Over
the Craban's Nest
A troubled elf
minstrel is sentenced to 45 days in a craban's nest for being caught
stealing drake eggs in the North Downs. Before being allowed to flee the
nest for good behavior after 23 days, the minstrel attempts to get the
baby crebain to stand...or fly...up to the evil elite master drake known as Bleakwind.
Beauty and
the Barghest
The tale of a
beautiful Morroval in love with a seriously scarred Horrid Barghest. Can a winged
beauty and a barghest find happiness and true love despite the odds...and
those LOTROnians trying to kill them?!
Trollshawshank Redemption
A vault-keeper
from the Trollshaws gets locked up at Old Odo's Leaf-Farm after being convicted of multiple
murders of Sara Oakheart. His brigand captors teach him how to farm for
profit and thus begins the vault-keeper's secret money laundering scam...a
downward spiral into the gold
farming business.
Frodo
Baggins's Day Off
Comedy-horror
where a hobbit named Frodo skips out of the quiet of the Shire for
adventure and hijinx with his best friend Samwise, while two other friends
(Merry and Pippin) sneakily tag along. The evils of dark lord Sauron
linger near. Hope dwindles and an eerie eye can be seen as the dread
begins to climb. (But since only the hobbits see the eye, it might have
been an hallucinogenic side effect of the pipe-weed they smoked before
leaving the Shire...and not actual
dread.)
The Blackwold
Spy Who Loved Me
Aragorn teams up
with a female Brigand agent to stop a White Hand Lobber's plan to use the
atomic firebombs he made...one time at goblin camp...to painstakingly
destroy LOTROnians one at a time.
12 Angry
Minstrels
Support group of
minstrels ticked off at fellowships not understanding that some
days...they'd just rather NOT have to resurrect anyone! Just because
they're so good at it, doesn't mean they love it! Res you? "No.
#%$ you! How about
not being such a gimp next time. Don't die. =p"
Frodo Gump
Life on Middle
Earth as viewed through the experiences of a sometimes slow-walking and
slightly mentally challenged hobbit who becomes a ring-leader, a
hobnanigans champion, a boar-meat butchering tycoon and the one who's responsible
for the whole "Frodo's Burden" movement (where you walk slowly so as not
to lose your second-breakfast in Rivendell after a night of heavy drinking
in the Shire).
Silence of
the Wargs
It happened to
captains. It happened to minstrels. But with the return of their voices,
some other poor creatures had to suffer. Howl as they might, only a rush
of wind is now to be heard from a handful of wargs! Not even a nice
Chianti can save the dulcet tones of their cries!
Brigands of
the Bree-land: Curse of the Blackwold Thieves
Brigand Jasper Mudbottom goes
on a rampage after the fair maidens of Bree-land reject him. Having
depleted his financing and exhausted his supply of ale, he curses and
claims there is no fixing Falco's folly...at least not until he's had time
to become a Tavern League Member in the Shire first! But alas, even this
brigand drunkard has tried and failed twice!
Night of the
Living Barrow-Wights
Barrow-wights
everywhere come alive. Nowhere are you safe! They knock you off your
high-horse. They haunt you in your sleep. They taunt you in the Barrow
Downs. The scent of their halitosis permeates the air, inciting you to
run...in search of a better helmet with a nose-guard! (Nose-guard not
required, but recommended before you watch this film. Film not rated yet.)
