When one thinks of the Lord of the Rings, it's usually singing the praises of those diminutive characters that fill the timeless stories and our ever-present appetites to see the films again, visit the locations where the films were created, and praying to the Pharoahs that Peter Jackson might gift us with more of his…

There were some funny conversations recently in the smart and enjoyable Facebook group "I'm Architecture Shaming." A rather spectacular golf course clubhouse was being applauded, but also likened to a Hutt Lord's palace on Tatooine. But it was designed on Earth by a well-known architect - Frank Lloyd Wright.
They're discussing the King Kamehameha Golf…
