LOTR Trivia!

Lord of the Rings Trilogy Forum

Rachel was right, Stuart Townsend.

I could have sworn it was Russel Crowe...Man I guess I am totally out of it today

Ooooh, its my go!!! Yay!!!

Who played Celeborn in the movie??

Martin Csokas--One of my councilofelrond.com buddies is in love with him, and that is all she talks about.

so are you going to ask a question heather?

Oops, sorry!


The song Pippin sings is part of a poem from LOTR. What book is it from?

The FOTR, in the chapter: Three is company.

Am I right?

Yep

Yay!!

How old was Bilbo when he adopted frodo as his heir?

Eleventy one?

Nope.

I'll give you a clue, it is between 80 and 100.

88?

Nope

93?

Closer.

92?

Further away again.

I know he was in his nineties. 96?

Closer still!

97?

he was 99 I think you will find

Yep, well done Tiger! It says it on the first page of the FOTR, thats why I remember it!

Ok then...a question a question, my kingdom for a question...ah

Where was Edoras built in New Zeeland?

Oh, I know this one but can't think of it. I know it's was on a hill either 40 miles or 40 minutes away and that it was very windy.

Was it Mt Sunday?

Correct Pip your go.

Yay!

Name one piece of the Musical score from each film.

you mean like song title? in that case, for FOTR we have the Ring goes south, wich is the Fellowship theme
For TT we have the taming of smeagol
and for ROTK we have the End of All Things

Well done! Your go

i spend waaay to much time listening to those CDs
have all of em burned onto my computer heh heh

anyway, before doing the score for Lord of the Rings, what type of movies had Howard Shore worked on?

I know he did Mrs. Doubtfire, Gangs of New York and Panic Room...but thats it...

well i'm asking for a specific genre of movie.
And I didn't know he did those movie's musical scores..interesting.

I dont know then.

I'll take a guess anyway...Action?

nope

Horror?

I'm going to guess comedy

I would say horror too, because I know he did Silence of the Lambs, and Se7en... Although Pip guessed horror first, so I won't win

Yes Pip gets it with horror.
Your go Pip!

Are you going to go Pip?

Yep! I'm here! Sitting here...waiting for my hair dye to settle...I don't learn from my mistakes.

Who does the voice for Isildur?

Do you mean the voice, or the actor?

I don't know his name, but he was in Jackson's other film 'Braindead', or 'Dead Alive'... Fantastic film

Voice. Because the actor didn't do his voice.

That makes sense, cos he can't be the worlds best actor if he was in Braindead (infact he's probably not an actor at all )

Ok...the answer is Hugo Weaving!

Another Question:
What is the name of Éowyns mother?

Hey I didn't know that!...Good to know though I have no idea about this next one

Eowyn's mother's name was Theodwyn.

Your go!

On her way to the grey havens, what is the name of the child that Arwen has a vision of?

Eldarion

yep!

Ok then. Name all fourteen members of Thorin and Company.

(only thing I can think of at the time)

Thorin, Gloin, Bifur, Bombur, Balin, Dwalin, Nori, Dori, Bofur, Kili, Fili, Oin, Ori, Bilbo

correct

Yay! It took me ages to remember them all!

Name 6 of Sam's children.

Elanor, Frodo, Pippin, Merry, Bilbo, Goldilocks

Yep!

Okay, name all of PJs cameos during the Trilogy...

Oh!!! He was the guy with the carrot in Bree, a mercinary on one of the ships, a rohan warrior and was he in Gondor too?

Hey sandy, did pip get it right??

Sorry, haven't checked up in a while...

Yep, I think so...

FOTR - Outside Prancing Pony in Bree
TTT - Throwing a spear at Helm's Deep
ROTK - On one of the Southron ships

and, he was also in a portrait above the fireplace in Bag End

Your go Pip

in a portait...hmmm...i'll have to look for that

Oh yeah! And the portrait!

Who are Bilbo's parents?

Bungo Baggins and Beladonna Took

Since I know that it is the right answer I have a question that only people who have read the Silmarillion could answer.

Who was the battering Ram that the orcs used to get into Gondor supposed to look like?

It was named Grond, after the Hammer of the Underworld, which Morgoth used in his duel with Fingolfin. The Ram itself was carved in the image of a wolf.

that is true and you get to go next if you want. However if you remember there was a specific wolf of Morgoth who ate a silmaril, if you get my drift

oh yes...dang it...suddenly its name escapes my mind. oh well i'll look it up.

What is the Elven name for the Nazgul?

can you explain the question please?

Ringwraith is Nazgul in the Black speech. What is Ringwraith in Elven?

oh sorry my mind doesnt work at this time of night. I dont remember it, perhaps in the morning.

For the sake of keeping it going, its Ulairi. I nominate Pip to ask a question!

Alright Pip where are you?

I'm here!!!

What does "Celeb" mean in the common tongue?

Silver I think. well either Silver or grey

Anyone going to tell me if I am write or not because I can't be bothered to look it up.

Silver, yeah, you were right, your go.

What does Curufin mean?

Is it Skillful?

It could be but not by the definitions in the back of the Silmarillion, but I'll let you have it. For some reason, Curufin means skilled-hair if you go by the Silmarillion.

your go Peregrin

Ok,
What does Glorfindel say to his horse before it carries Frodo across the ford?

? I thought we had been going off of stuff from the movie here...hmm...
I know Glorifined says something in Elven that roughly means "run" or somesuch.

Actually, knowing the dialoge of Tolkien, by not the Elven dialoge, it was probably something like "ride hard" or "ride on" or something

Yeeeees.....but what was it?



It is in the film too...

Narhalien?

M.

Nope!!

I dont think we're going to get it Pip

its only been a month

Perhaps one of us should ask another question.

Any at all and I dont mind.

How about this, is Pip doesn't tell us the answer and post another question by this up coming tuesday I will ask a new question.

sounds fair

yeah

Ok, its tuesday and Pip still hasn't posted a question so I give you one.

What is the name of the hill opposite Amon Hen?

(Amon Hen being the Hill of sight or something like that)

Amon Sul? The hill of hearing or something?

No Amon Sul is the Hill on which Weathertop stands

should I tell you or is someone else going to have a guess?

Tell us.

Amon Lhaw (i think thats how its spelled. i remember it was spelled oddly)

That is correct. Your go

What is the livery of Imrahil and the knights of Dol Amroth?

I don't understand the question to tell the truth.

Actually I just dont understand the word "Livery"

I think livery kind of means horses etc. But I'm not sure.

http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=livery

M.

insignia...like what emblem they would have had on they're banners. thats what i'm asking about. sorry for the confusion

Okay, that was just me being stupid. Not to say that you're stupid, White Tiger, or anything, just saying, well, you know, okay, I'm going to shut up now.........

insignia,, lets see, not knowing it off by heart I would guess it's some referance to Amroth, before you get confused I don't mean Dol Amroth but Amroth himself who was king of Lothlorien.

no...thats not it...well this questions been going on for a bit so i'll tell you

a Swan.

Oh a swan. Didn't one of the Elven princesses turn into a swan in the Silmarillion?

Anyway, you go again Shadow.

i'll ask an easy one...what was the assumed name of Eowyn when she rode with the Rohirrim to Gondor?

I think the name was Dernhelm

Definately.

Tiger got it.

okay then an Easy one (I hope)

What is the dwarven name for the Glittering caves in Helms Deep?

(I hink thats where they are)

is no one going to answer or will I have to answer myself?

I can't remember. I should know, but I can't.

Ok, The answer is Aglarond.

someone else go.

Misty go, unless someone else comes in, but no one ever does.

Alright sure

What is the map on the table that Gandalf picks up of?

Middle Earth for sure, but does it also show the party's path to the Lonely Mountain? I'm not too sure about that part.

I'll buy that....Your turn Pippin

Oh, oops, I answered without thinking of a question. Okay, I'll think of one and post it soon, but meanwhile does anybody here know ANYTHING about the history of Formula 409 cleaning spray?! I need to know the maker and when it was made for my zoology CIM report, and I have spent three days looking with no luck. It took me three hours before I found the active ingredients in Fantastik! Okay, I'll look in the book for a question.

Okay, this has probably already been asked, but who solved the riddle to open the door to the Mines of Moria? (In the book)

Merry?

Good job, Peregr!n, it's Merry. Your go.

Yay!

Erm...what is the name of the chapter AFTER "Three is company"?

A shortcut to mushrooms

Yep, your go.

who made the flag that Aragorn sailed under when he came to Gondor's aid?

My first gut instinct was Eowyn, but that's just a flat out guess.

bzzt. wrong. good guess though.

now he came with the dead men, legolas and gimli so my guess would be one of them...or alternatively arwen

I try I remember reading this, but I don't think I'm going to figure it out

Legolas would be my first pick Shadow. For a couple of reasons.

One: Dwarves are normally more linked with stone-craft.

Two: the dead have no need of such things

and three: he features more then Arwen.

If it's not Legolas then its Arwen.

i'd go with your second pick. Your go.

What is the flag of Rohan?

A white horse?

Yes I'll give you that.

There is something else on the flag but I can't remember what it is.

Green Grass.

I thought I gave the next question to Peregrin.

Ah well someone ask one.

I was saying what else was on the flag, but yes, it's Rach's go.

Oh well, do you want ot ask the next question or wait?

I can never think of any quetions. We'll wait for Rach.

Ok, i'm here...

What is the little Gondorian logo thingy?

Its the white tree of Numenor. I'm pretty sure of that.

Yep, Your go.

what is the logo of Saruman?

The white hand

correct, your go

I thought I would do an extreamlyeasy question, I do have harder one in my mind somewhere but I did an easy one.

Ok Pip, its your go.

Perhaps I should ask a question if Peregrin doesn't by saturday.

fair enough

Well we're both going to Paris tomorrow so you just ask one anyway.

I would have posted the question yesterday but my sister was on the computer from 12 midday to 3 in the morning.

First things firsth, Oliphant while your in Paris I hope you visit the Eiffel Tower, Arc DeTriomphe and Notre Dame. I have been there but haven't seen all the monuments.

Ok my question is about the actors.

Which dective television programe was Domonic Monaghan involed in?

Hetty Wainthroppe Investigates. He played Geoffrey, the sidekick. My local public television station plays it on Thursday nights. I watch it often.

correct. your go.

I'm back! I'd been to Paris before, so I'd seen it already, but it was still amazing. It was a school music trip and it was great!

Okay, the actors who played Pippin and Wormtongue have worked together on another movie. What is it?

Off topic... but when did you change your username?

-HECK!

Seed of Chucky, right?

Yep! Finally!

Have you see the movie yet? Is it any good?

No, I haven't ever watched any of the Chucky movies, but I heard Billy had something to do with this one so I looked the two up on the web. Okay, now to think of a question...I'll post soon with one.

Okay, who saved the four hobbits from the barrow-wight?

Tom Bombadil

Ho! Tom Bombadil! Tom Bombadillo!
By water, wood and hill, by the reed and willow,
By fire, sun and moon, harken now and hear us,
Come, Tom Bombadil, for our need is near us!

Yes, your turn

Any one going to go or should I?

This thread died. We can't keep up with you and Nathan.

I think you could go if Pip doesn't write back by tomorrow

Ok right I'll ask a question and try and keep it easy. In fact this should be quite easy, even thought it's actually a hobbit thing.

Name all of the dwarves in Thorins Oakenshields company.

Thorin, Gloin, Bifur, Bombur, Balin, Dwalin, Nori, Dori, Bofur, Kili, Fili, Oin, Ori

Did anyone else have a great Christmas? I got the RotK extended edition in the box with the statue So cool

Your Question

Okay, there were three types of Hobbits out and about when Smeagol found the Ring. What kind was he?

He was a Stoor I believe.

How did you know that? And your first try, too! I'm impressed. Your turn.

Name the other 2 types of hobbits.
