âSam: I wonder if weâll ever be put into songs or tales. Frodo: [turns around] What? Sam: I wonder if people will ever say, âLetâs hear about Frodo and the Ring.â And theyâll say âYes, thatâs one of my favorite stories. Frodo was really courageous, wasnât he, Dad?â âYes, my boy, the most famousest of hobbits. And thatâs saying a lot.â Frodo: [continue walking] Youâve left out one of the chief characters - Samwise the Brave. I want to hear more about Sam. [stops and turns to Sam] Frodo: Frodo wouldnât have got far without Sam. Sam: Now Mr. Frodo, you shouldnât make fun; I was being serious. Frodo: So was I. [they continue to walk] Sam: Samwise the BraveâŠâ
It always makes me cry so damn hard when he gets to go to Valinor. Like, can you imagine him seeing Frodo again after all that time? đ
And the scene when Gandalf, Galadriel, and Celeborn are boarding the shop at the Grey Havens, and then Frodo turns around⊠God it just kills me.
Annie Lennoxâs voice is so damn ethereal as well
đ I can imagine

On the topic of Tolkien, this morning I was going through some old books that were still in boxes from moving house last year. Found a copy of The Adventures of Tom Bombadill which Iâve had for decades, I remember my grandmother used to read it to me when I was a kid in the 70âs. Well, it turns out that this little hardback is a first edition print from 1962 (UK release) and some are selling online for $700+, one seller had a copy up for $1100!
No plans to sell it, but I should probably take a bit more care with it :)
