Mellonnen! Mo evínedh? … and new Sindarin in The Hobbit

Posted by  on 4 January 2013, 10:37 am

Elrond Hobbit movie standupMellonnen! Mo evínedh? ”My friend! Where have you been?”… so Lord Elrond asks Gandalf upon meeting up with him in Rivendell in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.

I must apologize for my recent absence of posting articles here. I run this site entirely by myself and with the release of The Hobbit in theaters, and the massive influx of information released in regards to the movie, as well as the holidays, I was a bit overwhelmed and had to take a step back for a while.

Even though I have not posted anything recently I am happy to report that the site has had over 50,000 visitors the first year at it’s new home. Hannon le! Thank you to all who have stopped by!

Now that things have sort of calmed down, I hope to get some new posts up for you.

In the mean time, the folks over at Elendilion have put up a G-i-P Report regarding the the Sindarin phrases spoken in The Hobbit, which is where I got the title for this post. I always find it exciting to hear and learn new elvish phrases, which is one of my favorite bits of the movie, but I’ll post more on that in a future post. If you’d like to see the Sindarin phrases that were used in the movie as well as the analysis of them, I encourage you to stop by Elendilion.

Once again, hannon le, thank you, to all who have stopped by over the last year and stay tuned for some new posts!

Cate Blanchett at The Hobbit world premiere

Actress Cate Blanchett arrives for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey World Premiere

Last night in Wellington, New Zealand thousands of fans, elves, wizards, dwarves, hobbits, and other denizens of Middle-earth gathered outside the Embassy Theater to watch the arrival of The Hobbit‘s many stars for the film’s world premiere.

Some of those that were spotted were Cate Blanchett (Galadriel), Martin Freeman (Bilbo), Hugo Weaving (Elrond), Richard Armitage (Thorin Oakenshield), Elijah Wood (Frodo), Andy Serkis (Gollum), Barry Humphries (Goblin king), William Kircher (Bifur), Aidan Turner (Fili), Dean O’Gorman (Kili), and of course, director Sir Peter Jackson. Actor Ian McKellen, who plays wizard Gandalf, was unfortunately absent but according the The Huffington Post sent a message along saying, “I wish I were there in my spiritual home in Wellington.”

Some late arrivals to the red carpet included actors John Rhys-Davies, who played the dwarf Gimli in the Lord of the Rings films, and Evangeline Lily who plays Tauriel a warrior elf-maid of Mirkwood, a role created for The Hobbit films by director Jackson.

Fan website TheOneRing.net (TORn) which broadcasted live from the event has some nice pictures from the red carpet of the stars’ arrivals. And for those that missed their live broadcast, or those that just want to re-watch it,  a stream is provided via their website.
