Miami Ad School Berlin student Valerio Amaro combines his two passions in life (advertising and <em>The Lord of the Rings</em>) by asking himself, "What would happen if J.R.R Tolkien worked in advertising?" His answer: <a href="http://oneadtorulethemall.tumblr.com/">One Ad To Rule Them All </a>. <br /><br />Missed tumblr title opportunity: One Ad To Rule The Mall.post:www.metafilter.com,2014:site.136779Tue, 18 Feb 2014 17:57:08 -0800paleyellowwithorangejrrtolkientolkienthelordoftheringstumblrvalerioamarooneadtorulethemalladvertisingtextualinterventionBy: Parasite Unseen

It did not take long for that font to go from "mildly whimsical" to "cast it into the fires of Mount fucking Doom".comment:www.metafilter.com,2014:site.136779-5427079Tue, 18 Feb 2014 18:01:03 -0800Parasite UnseenBy: LobsterMitten

Just googled <em><em>The Lord of the Rings</em></em> quotes which confirmed that yes, there are large swaths of poetry throughout.
Somewhere out in the world right now, someone is reciting it by heart.
In sum this tumblr is glorious.comment:www.metafilter.com,2014:site.136779-5427168Tue, 18 Feb 2014 19:06:44 -0800tooloudinhereBy: ShawnStruck

The One Ring
glistening
with untold power many say
But the fight
to set things right
says "you must cast it away"

<em>Also: not sure but I think Tolkien would abominate this.</em>
I wonder how he'd feel about all those so-called fans of his who reject his beloved <em>Silmarillion</em> as not worth the trouble? ;-)
Anyway, I think Tolkien's art is strong and established enough to withstand this blow to its integrity.
All published art enters the culture at a certain point, and belongs to it thereafter.
At university we were <em>encouraged</em> to do this sort of thing, as a method of engaging with the source material. Break it down and build it up in new and interesting ways. They called it 'textual intervention'. I found it quite a mind-opening exercise.comment:www.metafilter.com,2014:site.136779-5427380Tue, 18 Feb 2014 22:25:30 -0800paleyellowwithorangeBy: colie

I like old-style 'gentle idea, nice artwork, and maybe a pun' advertising.

Loved this. I saw a poster in a shop in Greenwich the other day which just had a lidless eye over nine interlocking rings (think the Olympic logo) and the legend "Mordor 3019" - and Goddamit, I laughed.comment:www.metafilter.com,2014:site.136779-5427646Wed, 19 Feb 2014 07:01:55 -0800the quidnunc kidBy: homunculus

"Yes. Something that interested us yesterday when we saw it." "Where is she?" His lodgings were situated at the lower end of the town. The accommodation consisted[Pg 64] of a small bedroom, which he shared with a fellow clerk, and a place at table with the other inmates of the house. The street was very dirty, and Mrs. Flack's house alone presented some sign of decency and respectability. It was a two-storied red brick cottage. There was no front garden, and you entered directly into a living room through a door, upon which a brass plate was fixed that bore the following announcement:¡ª The woman by her side was slowly recovering herself. A minute later and she was her cold calm self again. As a rule, ornament should never be carried further than graceful proportions; the arrangement of framing should follow as nearly as possible the lines of strain. Extraneous decoration, such as detached filagree work of iron, or painting in colours, is [159] so repulsive to the taste of the true engineer and mechanic that it is unnecessary to speak against it. Dear Daddy, Schopenhauer for tomorrow. The professor doesn't seem to realize Down the middle of the Ganges a white bundle is being borne, and on it a crow pecking the body of a child wrapped in its winding-sheet. 53 The attention of the public was now again drawn to those unnatural feuds which disturbed the Royal Family. The exhibition of domestic discord and hatred in the House of Hanover had, from its first ascension of the throne, been most odious and revolting. The quarrels of the king and his son, like those of the first two Georges, had begun in Hanover, and had been imported along with them only to assume greater malignancy in foreign and richer soil. The Prince of Wales, whilst still in Germany, had formed a strong attachment to the Princess Royal of Prussia. George forbade the connection. The prince was instantly summoned to England, where he duly arrived in 1728. "But they've been arrested without due process of law. They've been arrested in violation of the Constitution and laws of the State of Indiana, which provide¡ª" "I know of Marvor and will take you to him. It is not far to where he stays." Reuben did not go to the Fair that autumn¡ªthere being no reason why he should and several why he shouldn't. He went instead to see Richard, who was down for a week's rest after a tiring case. Reuben thought a dignified aloofness the best attitude to maintain towards his son¡ªthere was no need for them to be on bad terms, but he did not want anyone to imagine that he approved of Richard or thought his success worth while. Richard, for his part, felt kindly disposed towards his father, and a little sorry for him in his isolation. He invited him to dinner once or twice, and, realising his picturesqueness, was not ashamed to show him to his friends. Stephen Holgrave ascended the marble steps, and proceeded on till he stood at the baron's feet. He then unclasped the belt of his waist, and having his head uncovered, knelt down, and holding up both his hands.
