It's true: those are actual quotes from Letter 184 and from Carpenter's Biography (p. 225).

@Fuin Elda The first part is definitely true. Tolkien replies in Letter 184 and that is a direct quote from the letter. How about that? A meme that is 100% accurate.

I found this out in the wilds this weekend at an antique mall, doesn't seem to be connected to any of films as far as I can see. I'm sure we can make a meme from this, right? right?

Wow... This is so much. And I think you're right. Zooming in here seems to give me a date of 19*9 — I think that's an 8, which puts it a decade distant from either film series, but it might be a 9, which would make this perhaps a very misguided PJ merchandizing attempt? But then — everything else, from the character design to the font, is wrong wrong wrong for the PJ movies.Zeal & Ardor wrote: ↑Mon Aug 08, 2022 1:05 amI found this out in the wilds this weekend at an antique mall, doesn't seem to be connected to any of films as far as I can see.

Bumping a great thread with a Rings of Power meme that perfectly describes my own opinions.

This is not at all what I thought I would find here, however I love it! In the spirit of camaraderie and the fact I just found this one witty:
