He is so mentioned in the Silmarillion. My battered old paperback copy has it on page 34, in the
Valaquenta, under the section "Of the Maiar":

Wisest of the Maiar was Olorin. He too dwelt in Lorien, but his ways took him often to the house of Nienna, and of her he learned pity and patience.

My own personal ways have taken me on occasion to the house of Pedantry, but I think that particular deity really was not mentioned in the Silmarillion.
Btw I agree with your quibble about the movies, and I missed Ghan-buri-ghan too. Don't get me started on Treebeard...but really I shouldn't complain too much, he did a pretty good job.
