@K4inan I have Asperger's as a matter of fact, and I often do speak at supersonic speed, but at times I can slow but not often, it is difficult, and an effect of Asperger's is an advanced vocabulary, which people say I have, I speak in an older manner, and people say I was born in the wrong era, and I write fantasy stories, have finished first book, and I have been told I write the way I speak
Jesus saves from the guilt of sin by faith in his shed blood. That is why he came to earth, to die on the cross for our sins so we could go to heaven through faith in his blood. Repent of your sins and ask Jesus to come into your heart. Once you are saved from your sins, you are saved forever. Faith in Jesus is the only way to heaven. If you die in your sins you will burn in Hell and the Lake of Fire for all eternity. God bless.
Someone should make a large movie about the stories in the silmarillion for example: the creation of arda (probably abit boring but i would had watched it) which for example lasts from the creation of the valar to the beginning of the exile of the noldor/war of the jewles. then make a 2nd movie which is about the war of the jewels + war of the wrath and the doom of beleriand. then make a 3rd movie about the fall of numenor and the war of the dwarves and goblins in the gray mountains. my opinion.
@klevdud IMO The Silmarillion should be a trilogy The Lay of Luthien, The Children of Hurin and The Fall of Gondolin. The creation of Arda and everything else in between the "main stories" in my opinion should be backstory, like how the defeat of Sauron was the backstory of the Lord of the Rings movies. Then The Fall of Numenor should be it's own standalone movie with the defeat of Morgoth as the backstory.
@labrynianrebel This along with Peter Jackson's trilogy and the two hobbit movies would make a "Middle-Earth Saga" 9 movies long, a good middle-earth number :)
I have read the trilogy, The Hobbit, Silmarillion, Narn i (C)hîn Húrin and i am now readin The Book of Lost Tales. It is amazing how wonderful stories John and Christopher wrote. And the fact that John created the stories, and stok on to them, and created so many wonderful books and still managed to make it all stick together, is absolutely amazing. I will never forget reading them
Hahaha.... :-) Christopher Tolkien is far easier to understand than his dear father. Much as I adore J.R.R. Tolkien, his manner of speaking was extraordinarily difficult to understand sometimes... He muttered and mumbled a lot. You can hear this if you listen to interviews with him. It's sort of funny that he spoke so unclearly, if you think about it, since he was such a wonderful creator of words and languages.
Must've! That's a bit overconfident a diagnosis, I think. Tolkien developed close friendships with several people. Certainly there was an amount of forumulaic excess in his thought, but is such a thing exclusive to autism? Because autism is exclusive of the emotional strength in friendships that Tolkien developed.
@ClandestineOstrich He was just introverted. He spent too much time in his own head to form relationships with many people, but the few he did form were profound beyond words.
Professor Tolkien wrote the famous Father Christmas Letters from December 1920 to December 1943: Christopher was consequently 19 years old when his father wrote the last letter to Priscilla. ^^
