You said I didn't mention about the rant but then provided the evidence underneath! In my own words. Maybe you missed the fact that it was implied. I'll overlook your limitations.
Would have been nice if you could have tried to answer my questions rather that trying to be witty. I thought this was a place to exchange ideas about Tolkien's books, more so than trying to be popular. |

You seem like a knowledgeable Tolkien fan, since you mentioned Olorin - why don't you share some of your thoughts about Tolkien's works, instead of attacking members? There's lots of good Tolkien threads, and I hope you will contribute to them and enjoy them

I wonder if the producers of the Hobbit movie will use the same support team (costumes, effects, etc. - Weta, wasn't it?) that was used for LOTR. I thought the costumes, backgrounds, etc. were very good.
One thing that will be interesting is how they portray the elves at Rivendell - those elves on the outskirts of R. always seemed so goofy! Not like the elves in the Sil, that's for sure!

So what do y'all think about Sam Raimi as the possible director candidate?

I agree with Tom Bombadil that it's a different form. If it doesn't go by different rules it'll be very monotonous, like those classes where the teacher reads aloud all period from the assigned reading.

Now take the twat hat off and say something useful and/or entertaining. Gandalf has to be in; the question has to be is there enough botox in Christendom for Ian Holm to look the same age as Frodo did in LOTR? So, it this movie going to happen or what? Anyone got any actual news since that link got posted? |

IIRC from the movie audio commentaries, they used a lot of duct tape on Ian Holm's face for the face-on shots of the "Bilbo finding the ring" scene to make him look younger. Better than botox! I think they can get away with an actor that is younger but looks similar to Ian Holm, but they're gonna have to stick with Gandy. Ahhh, they better not mess up the "Black Arrow" scene - our family likes that part. My son and I both leave one of our arrows unmarked and call it the Black Arrow. The other ones we write a letter on and give them a LOTR name (G is for Gandalf, etc. - identifying arrows is a typical thing to do, then you can see if one deviates a particular way every time it's shot and take steps to correct it.)

Thanks.
Children of Hurin looks groovy. Hey, how about an animated Hobbit version, hand-drawn by an infinite number of Alan Lees? Cross-post: groovy archery trivia an a'! Last edited by The Gaffer : 04-16-2007 at 07:25 PM. |
