*Heart attack*

Can't.... wait.... any.... longer.... to...... see ......... that........ movie!!!!!!!!!

Whoa! Check out the pipes! And the hobbit-feet! And Gandalf's staff!

Is this issue still on the stands? I want it!

I like pict 584 over all the others, but they are VERY promising.

I think they are in the October '00 issue. I am going this morning to find out!!! Thanks OWOTF, good work!!

I'm going to have to take a bucket to the theatre with me... I'm absolutely drooling over Viggo! Now I'd vote for him for president in no time!

Did you hear ONE, just ONE guy make a comment about Cate or Lyv in this board, on how they were sooooooo hot and blablabla???...

NO! ah woman are so, well, you know.

By the way, talking about Women, did you notice the semi-pointed hears of Arwen (And the hobbits)? I think that closes the debate as everyone should be satisfied!

No guy made a comment because:
1. There was no picture of Cate
2. Liv doesn't look so great (IMO) in the pic of Arwen.

I haven't seen a bad pic of Viggo yet!!

I just want to add that I never in my life pictured Aragorn as a hunk. Faramir, yes, Aragorn, no. Go figure...

I always pictured Aragorn as more the Clint Eastwood type.

The Mrs has him figured as a Sam Elliot.

And I'm not crazy about Arwen Gothoniel! Who ever heard of an elf with bags under her eyes like that? What about the long black hair netted with jewels and stuff? Huh? Huh? Huh?

Gil., when I first heard Liv Tyler was to play Arwen, I wasn't sure what she looked like (since I don't see many movies; I don't tend to like most Hollywood productions), so I looked up her picture on the internet. I couldn't fathom it. I know there are guys that think she's really good looking, but my goodness, this is supposed to be the most beautiful woman since Luthien. She's supposed to look like Luthien. Liv Tyler looks nothing like I ever imagined Luthien to look. But I don't know of any actress who does...

Galadriel is supposed to be the most beautiful women since Luthien, not Arwen

www.ringzone.net has better versions of the images now.

I think they look great.

Thanks wiz, I think they're great!

I love those Mithrandir pics!!!

I know it's big but, heck, I gotta post it!

OK - i may still be skeptical, but these pics are awesome!

some comments, though -

on the 2nd pic - "Cate Blanchett as the Elf Queen" - ^&*(%? some of these newspeople really need to get their stories straight.

Arwen - bags under the eyes of an Elf-maid? in this pic especially, she looks less Elven & more false-Goth. grr. first they screw up her character, now they screw up her appearance...

Gandalf - incredible. love the scraggly beard. and of course, his staff.

Aragorn - also incredible, but he doesn't have the grey eyes...

the hobbits - Sam, Merry & Pippin look good, but somehow i imagined Merry as blonde & Pippin as black-haired. great hairy toes. Frodo - i just never thought of hobbits as having pointed ears. and in that one shot, his legs look way too long, but there isn't anything that can be done about that. but they did make Eligah Wood look hobbitish, which i never would have thought possible.

again, i'm nitpicking. i have to compare every detail of this Middle-Earth with the version in my head, & nothign will completely match. of course, i'll be one of the first in line for this movie...

Yes, the Gandalf ones were good...
"Combine Star Wars and Harry Potter"?! Ech! Harry Potter isn't even comparable to LoTR! (my opinion)

I always pictured Aragorn as "tall and fair", with a skinny and worn face (remember, he lived as a Ranger for I-forget-how-many years, and that must have aged him outwardly quite a bit). I always imagined that Boromir looked like that picture, because I remember him being described somewhere as "broad where Aragorn was tall". And Faramir... I always imagined that he had a normal average-sized face like most people, for some reason...

I was actually quite surprised at how Hobbitish Frodo looked, but somehow that is just not my vision of Sam; my mind's image of him is your average "Joe" scaled down to Hobbit-size.

And Arwen... well, I didn't think she looked Arwen-like; she looks more like she doesn't get enough sleep...

...

This is getting out of hand.

In my opinion Boromir is the one that depart the most from my picture of him. I pictured him as quite strong and large, brown hairs, and a big beard (don't know why).

And Sam too not as fat as it should be, but I tought I heard somewhere they would "fatten" him by CGI...

I don't know that it says anywhere that Sam is fat... As for your mental picture of Boromir, have you seen the LOTR cartoon movie from 1978? Boromir looks like you think in the cartoon. He probably shouldn't be blonde. We're told in TTT that Faramir and Boromir looked enough alike for Frodo to mistake the two at first glance. And in ROTK we're told Faramir has black hair. Likely both brothers looked like Numenoreans: black hair and grey eyes.
