Tolkien Appology - OneRingNet

Posted 9th Dec 2014 to xoanon at One Ring . Net Website



Seeing it’s a great day for Peter Jackson in Hollywood...
And now that Sir Peter Jackson has the Hobbit “Done and Dusted” I think it’s time to call for New Zealand to mend fences with Christopher Tolkien, JRR Tolkien’s Son.
Why? because in the 1980s the NZ Government Snubbed the Tolkien’s when they removed his Father’s Names from the Map of New Zealand without so much as consulting him.
It was especially if you read the demeaning reasons for the action in the first place, followed decades later by the Anduin Reach Saga and then Tolkien’s Mountain.
It’s clear Christopher has been shown pretty poor treatment by NZ Government representatives considering all the economic benefits His Fathers Works have brought us.
As the Steward of the Tolkien Estate he deserves better respect.

At this point in time a Prime Ministerial Apology would be a great gesture considering Christopher is not that happy with New Zealand and that is truly a sad thing.

New Zealand Taxpayers through Prime minister John Key have subsidized Hollywood Corporations with Millions of Dollars over the years but have only given the fingers to the Tolkien Family.

Consequently the Tolkien Estate has every reason to make sure any future Tolkien Films are done in the UK.

Mountain Scene - Hobbit Sendoff Party

Posted 22nd March 2014 to the Mountain Scene Newspaper Queenstown



Sir:
I have been hoping Queenstown might get a look in with the NZ Premier announcement for the Next and Final Hobbit Movie later this
I know there are a few Kiwis who worked on Peter Jackson’s Tolkien Films who would love to have a reason to return.

But if that fails The Queenstown Events people at the Council should look into a Durin’s Day Festival in October with some of our ex Dwarves
Maybe the Mee Family could open the Old Deer Park Heights for the day for old time sake.

Remember Queenstown is Party Central we expect you guys to give the Hobbit a good Send Off!
