Some Beowulf/Lord of the Rings videos

This is just a post to share some interesting (and relevant) things I've found on YouTube lately.

This video examines some of the similarities between Beowulf and The Lord of the Rings.

Another shows their similarities by blending the texts together.

How Beowulf might have been performed the Anglo Saxons.

How Elvish, a language partly inspired by Old English, should sound.

And on a lighter note, how over one thousand pages and nine hours of film (or twelve hours of extended film) could be reduced to just two minutes.
