Artwork inspired by Tolkien

oooh boobies

That wristguard isn't a good idea. The hoops will catch the string and all hell will break loose.

I like that I like the feel it gives me when you get the lighting right I like to tingle

Is that actual concept artwork from the Bakshi film or just a fan interpretation of it?

But shows in my view in one shot a better attention to Tolkien than PJ- note how Legolas and Gimli sit together, discussing the door, how Sam has Bill the pony and Frodo is with them and Merry and Pippin keeping each other company and the two men of Gondor standing side by side. All the books character stories at that point are represented in that one image.

By my Viking Loins!!

Do you mean Tom Hiddleston ? Hes got loins ! If not, then IL have his loins all to myself !

I think I go chased by loins once Never get drunk in the Blue Oyster Bar

Clearly you lot have not seen the Bakshi Dub enough times yet.

Boromir's Norse appearance is made much of in the Dub, and one of his favourite exclamations is: "By my Viking Loins!"

Riiiiight

I like that more imaginative & thought provoking than peejers Disney Time effort

I think PJ's look of the trolls was spot on, as was much of the look of middle earth. But he took the personalities too far.

The physicality of the trolls looked ok IL give you that but, I wasnt happy with the look of ME. It felt like a tourist Board guide to Lithuania. ( out of season ! )

I like that alot, the trees look very English and the trolls look both creepy and silly.

Isn't Aragorn beardless in the book though?

It was the dialogue they were given-in the book its witty and darkly humorous.
And there is some great back and forth banter that never compromises the peril of the trolls, or the very real threat they present.
PJ reduces that to snot gags and lines like about stuff up there hooter, there is even a comedy 'boingk' noise when one troll hits the other on the head with the ladle.
They never have any presence or menace because its all just farce rather than word play.

And the worse thing is if you read the dialogue in that section its perfectly suited to the sort of comedy acting Freeman specialises in.

Random thought since I just noticed it, but heads up on your impending 6000th post, chris!

I rather like that pic
6000 eh ? You dont look a day over 5984

Thanks Eldo.

To you Az

Seems to be merging into the tree.  Must be a story behind this.

Just watched Percey Jackson and the sea monsters and they had something very similar.

Russian art work of The Hobbit, which I quite like





This isnt Russian,but it conveys to me that Bilbo is meant to be invisible in this scene, which fooking peejers mucked around with !

Wow, I really like the Bjorn one, except for Bilbo's baldness.
