this Youtube channel is essentially making the Silmarillion with AI
of course they are not allowed to make the entire thing as one seamless movie due to rights issues, but its pretty good
still have a ways to go though until being done, and they are not making them in book order
( just those ridiculous ears on the Elves (and the Orcs)! Of course Tolkien never expressly said they were pointed, thanks to Peter Jackson though, it seems we are stuck with it )

The Cottage of Lost Play
The first time I read The Silmarillion as a child, there were many elements that were difficult for me to imagine—abstract elements that I struggled to give personality to. I always dreamed of turning Tolkien's work into something visual, more recognizable, bringing it out of my mind and making...

Better than ROP but the narration is too fast there is no opportunity to breathe. I prefer something like thisthis Youtube channel is essentially making the Silmarillion with AI

they started a few months ago with bits and pieces, i believe when they are done, they are going to mix the vids together, in story order- assuming the dialogue will be more complete and hopefully easier to understand
the main thing is- that the Tolkien Estate NOT make them take it down

i enjoy it
and the channel is getting more support the longer they are out- they only work on this project so far, they have no other content

THIS INCLUDES Star Wars-- why is it, do you think so much sci-fi/fantasy in space, has the characters in medieval attire?
not really practical one would think

Funny TNG-related rhyme in this video at 51:34. It's also on the print on the wall afterwards.

that ATT modem or whatever, in the last segment, my friend had one of those. as a teenager he had a mini landscaping business and made his own money. he was online, such as it was, a lot, and paid to have his own phone line put in, with one of those acoustic devices
he also had some video game set up online, where he got the floppy discs for the game, every time there was a major updt, and then played 1 player, on the companies server (or whatever it was called) by connecting online
kind of like- in my idiot terminology- a forerunner of online video gaming
his ph bill was massive though. he had to cut a lot of grass and move a lot of snow to keep it up

I can imagine that phone bill. Things are sure better these days in that regard.

Good on you for saying this! I came here after a long break from stuff, and thought it might be full of reactions, but it looks great. Thanks everyone else for being civil!

I've been keeping my tongue tied for months whilst there was obviously a ton of political stuff going on. All I will say is, I'm quite chuffed about how things turned out.

just found out-- "today years old""- that i can get a full access APPLE TV membership via AMZ Prime (just like other channels on prime) for the same price per month as APPLE TV on its on player/app
the AMZ Prime player/app (whatever) on ROKU works far better than the PPLE one does, so, for me, it wil be a far better value to ditch the apple only membership and get it through amazon
before long AMZ will have NETFLIX, and the entire DISNEY gigga plex on as well... one app to rule them all I guess

I was predicting streamer consolidation a while ago.
