Even 'Lord of the Rings' had dwarf-tossing jokes in it. It's like, 'Really?'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Dwarves are still the butt of jokes. It's one of the last bastions of acceptable prejudice.
People have the strangest ideas about dwarves.
I have a friend who says, 'The world doesn't need another angry dwarf!'
Tolkien made dwarf sign language because, you know, it's too loud to talk in the mines.
'Lord of the Rings' was about saving the world, big time, big duties.
I am not a dwarf.
How stupid do you have to be to imagine that you can turn 'The Lord Of The Rings' into a film script?
I think most five-foot-two people would be quite offended if they were to be called dwarves.
'The Lord of the Rings,' published in the mid-1950s, was intended as a prehistory to our own world. It was perceived by Tolkien to be a small but significant episode in a vast alternate mythology constructed entirely out of his own imagination.
I'd never heard of the 'Lord of the Rings', actually. So I went to the bookstore and there it was, three shelves of books about Tolkien and Middle-earth, and I was like, 'Holy cow, what else am I missing out on?'
