Just one fantasy writer

one of my favorite bits in lord of the rings is something the movies didn't really try to do because it's entirely internal, but sam's carrying the ring and it starts trying to do its work on him, so he's having these intrusive visions of himself marching at the head of a vast and terrible army, and he just starts laughing because, me? samwise gamgee? sam gamgee the general sam gamgee the dark lord are you for real? man i just want to go home and do some gardening. and the ring gets frustrated and it starts trying to figure out other stuff that would actually tempt sam and it's finally like, okay, but hear me out: imagine if you could have...A REALLY REALLY BIG GARDEN

and then he's like, i don't know that sounds like a lot more work than a regular garden actually. why don't we just get on with finding mister frodo

When you are simple enough that even the ring of ultimate temptation has nothing on you

Are we going to ignore “My husband’s wife”???!!!

Oh are there people who don't know this mess of a movie has the all time most spectacular final wizard battle in the fantasy genre??

This feels like that Indiana Jones movie scene where he shoots the guy in the 'sword' fight. You know what I am talking abou 😉

There was never anything more true...
