Wasn't sure if this should go here or on RA's Bilge thread, but here you go. Mags, SSR, and I have been having fun bantering on the Book of Face about this publicity still. Discuss among yourselves; we were just kinda pervy. |

Heh heh... am liking the chiaroscuro effect and the textures and the keen profile - in fact, to be honest, what's NOT to like?! - but am feeling a bit Star Trek about it all. 'It's a Dwarf, Jim, but not as we know it.' Either they go off very fast with the advancing years, or the uber-homely Gimli was the exception to the rule. I understand completely why the film-makers did it, but some of them (Kili and Fili, anyone?) are just too darn pretty! They're compromising their essential dwarfishness. Not that I'm complaining, exactly... <snerk>

I offered to keep The King Under the Mountain company while they did in-depth examination of his clothes and sword.  |

SSR and I discussed this previously on the BoF (we tend to have deep philosophical discussions about hot guys there). We agreed that the Heirs of Durin have improbably great genetics. I posted that it is said among the fangirls that Dis (Kili and Fili's mom and Thorin's sister) got her freak on with an Elf. SSR suggested perhaps it was a Gondorian soldier or Rider of Rohan with beer goggles. Either works. As Dis was Thorin's sister, she was probably also rather better-looking than average. But then how to explain Dis and Thorin? Perhaps THEIR mamma was the one getting her groove back with an Elf/Gondorian/Rider? Looking at Thrain, one has to wonder. In any event, what happens in Erebor stays in Erebor. P.S. Thorin isn't short, he's fun-sized! Yeah, Mags and SSR were on about the workmanship that went into the costumes and props. I offered to keep The King Under the Mountain company while they did in-depth examination of his clothes and sword. We would be inspecting them while he was IN them. Not the same, otherwise. |

That could be an effective advertising theme, which I'll leave for my cleverer shipmates to reify.  {gasp} Oh how we need that exploding smiley. HMSCody |
