Good!
Glad it didn’t happen
Tolkien’s masterpiece was brilliantly produced by Jackson!
I imagine Pipe Weed would have had a central role.
The Beatles Tried to Make a ‘Lord of The Rings’ Movie But J.R.R. Tolkien Turned Them Down>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Thereby proving that Tolkein regarded h9is work as more than fantasy. They combine the Nordic myths upon which Western civilzation is established.
We even have Trolls on Free Republic.
I loved their music, but not their movies. I think it would have been a disaster.
LotR couldn’t be done (properly) until CGI came along...
Ringo Star Voice: “Oh, my precious. Oh, my precious, mate.”
He probably didn’t want Hobbits traveling around Middle Earth in a yellow submarine.
Ringo doesn’t remember much,” Jackson said.
I doubt that Ringo remembers much of anything.
A friend sent me his new movie on the Beatles and I watched about 4 minutes of it before I turned it off.
It starts out showing early Beatle clips and he showed one I’ve seen before where John Lennon looks into the camera and make this “spaz face” only Jackson cut it. Why? Because last year the left went on this campaign claiming Lennon was mocking disabled people with those faces he makes. So of course Jackson had to bend over, spread his cheeks to the left and cut it. So that was it for me, BYE.
Screw these guys, if you do not have the gonads to stand up to the left and their insane tyrannical BS, then to hell with you pal. Something so incredibly ridiculous as that, a guy who has been dead 41 years and you are censoring the dude over making a freakin’ face? I’m sick of that group anyway, most overplayed music in the history of mankind.
the cast would have been composed of Paul McCartney as Frodo, John Lennon as Gollum, George Harrison as Gandalf, and Ringo Starr as Sam.

It’s like “Yellow Submarine” meets Middle Earth.
Common sense prevailed back in those days.
What caused the Beatles to break up was the confiscatory British tax rate.
They tried to escape it with business ventures, but they weren’t businessmen.
They were looking for a place to invest their money, and this was evidently one of the things they looked into.
jrr should have just given it to led zep.
We were spared a lot of misery then.
One can only imagine what a Beatles Lord of the Rings movie would look like. I’m thinking Yellow Submarine here.
It would have ruined Tolkien for generations in the future.
That movie would be so easy to make. Just give Sauron a Red Ryder BB gun for Christmas and it ends there.
“Ringo doesn’t remember much,” Jackson said.”
Ringo’s sober self will you he doesn’t remember a lot of things from those days.
Based on how stupid a film “Yellow Submarine” was, Tolkien made a wise choice.
I wonder if led zepplin had an interest in it too.
Ramble on.

Instead, they made Yellow Submarine. And Mr. Tolkien felt his decision completely vindicated.
