Re: Gladiator - Blu ray

[quote=""RevAnakin""]You are just perfect aren't you Sed? Perfect vision, know everything there is to know about swords, movies, correcting English... all hail God! :coolsmile [/quote] I'm not sure is he perfect, but he's close to it. And don't forget his talent for art, and stor...

Re: Hi friends!

[quote=""Valkrist""](...) either Serbian or Croatian (they should be fairly similar.) ;) [/quote]

It`s all the same sranje. :)

EDIT: And I think it should be: Поздрав и добродошао!

Correct me if I`m wrong.

Re: The Hobbit

I can't believe the news today. http://1001zones.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Mick-Jagger.jpg Sir Mick Jagger is about to perform at the London's premiere of "The Hobbit: An Une xp ected Journey." However, he is going to change some of the lyrics of his memorable songs, all for the needs...

Re: The Hobbit

[quote=""Olorin""]And your source for this is?[/quote] This: http://www.wellingtonrover.co.nz/ February 23rd 2010. (Need a photo or two to prove it?) It's extremely fun and informative . (Of course, the tour guide didn't use as appropriate term as I did, but the point remains the...

Re: The Hobbit

Oh yes. I know that guy. It was his own fault he got ditched, and that he's being ridiculed years after. If you remember the story, they were saying he's too young for the part. But since the whole team had to work together for so many months, they were simply forced to get rid of him in time becaus...

Re: The Hobbit

[quote=""Nasnandos""]I'm pretty sure Albion will not be involved. That would seriously conflict and compete with the Master Swordsmith line in Weta's eyes. I don't think anything fully hand made will come from anyone but Weta.[/quote] How can anything "seriously conflict and...

Re: The Hobbit

[quote=""Valkrist""]So, if I may conjecture upon your comments, United Cutlery, Noble Collection, and Weta itself will likely hold the licenses and produce the replicas and mastersmith versions respectively.[/quote] IMO, this would be the most intelligent scheme: 1) United/Noble ...

Re: The Hobbit

[quote=""Nasnandos""](...) there are some very cool weapons, and many more than what you see in the publicity pix released thus far. Orcrist is definitely my favorite, as are Kili and Fili's weapons.[/quote] Hmm. For me, this isn't quite helpful, as it can mean two (opposite) thi...

Re: The Hobbit

[quote=""Thranduil""](...) this video.(Which, if you haven't seen it, has a very pleasant surprise at it's very end). https://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=10150326323406807&oid=141884481557&comments [/quote] Thanks for sharing, man! :thumbs_up Awesome video! :bowing:

Re: My Narnia Misadventure

[quote=""Olorin""]I would certainly clean up a typo. My typos are not a result of lack of personal development or skill[/quote]

Of course! My apologies. I didn't want to include everyone in my post; I was
only referring to some of us here who are imperfect.

Re: My Narnia Misadventure

[quote=""Olorin""]That's where the edit button comes in handy![/quote] Nah, not after six years. That would be altering history. Not even to correct your own errors from the long-lost past; after all, they show your personal evolution and maturity-upgrades. :thumbs_up Same goes f...

Re: Orcrist Revealed

[quote=""Olorin""]Why don't you guys pop into Washington and settle the debt ceiling negotiation before the US starts defaulting on its debts and the entire global economy collapses? :crazy: [/quote] My kinsmen may have no need to ride to war. I fear war already marches on our ow...

Re: The Hobbit

[quote=""Valkrist""]Ed, I don't see a sword on Thorin but I could be wrong. If you are referring to what's just below his right hand, it looks like some belt attachment or pouch.[/quote] I could be wrong too. I took a few minutes to sketch what my two eyes see in that pic. Maybe ...

Re: Orcrist Revealed

[quote=""Steel Servant""]WOW! The @#!*& is going to hit the fan on this one. Anyone got any popcorn?[/quote] Sorry to burst your bubble, but Sedhal and me are great friends, and we went through all this on Facebook chat already on day one. We just wanted to share our (opposin...

Re: The Hobbit

[quote=""Valkrist""]I'm surprised no one's commented yet on Thorin's pre-Orcrist axe. That looks very dwarven to me. Those hard angles and sharp point as opposed to the more traditional curve of an axe blade make the weapon seem exceptionally brutal to me.[/quote] It's exceptiona...

Re: Orcrist Revealed

[quote=""Sedhal""]EG. There is geometry to the blade slanting down the unseen side, YES. But for the last time it is not symmetrical. Look at the throat of the scabbard if you still can't tell. Even single-edged blades have geometry.[/quote] Exactly. EG, I cannot believe you e-ma...

Re: Orcrist Revealed

[quote=""Elvenguard13""]If you were referring to me as a complainer Ed, I wasn't complaining about the design itself, its amazing I was just complaining because if it is curved then I wont be able to get the replica :'( [/quote] Accept my apologies then. I see in "The Hobbit...

Re: Orcrist Revealed

Hmm... Just because the overall shape (being asymmetrical) is quite different from Glamdring, some details (blade and guard inscription/engraving; broadening of the slender, sexy blade towards the tip; curved, nature-shaped guards) fit the Gondolin scheme more than enough. It's the trio: hand-and-a-...

Re: Orcrist Revealed

Here's a closeup of the scabbard's throat. Again, as with Sting, the guard design continues onto the scabbard, only this one is even more detailed: http://i376.photobucket.com/albums/oo205/lgracin/orcristdetail2.jpg Also, from Total Film , Armitage's quote: "It's bloody heavy!" he told us....

Orcrist Revealed

[quote=""Olorin""]I'm not sure what I think of the asymmetrical design of Orcrist. I'll let you guys all debate that.[/quote] http://i376.photobucket.com/albums/oo205/lgracin/orcrist.jpg -07/17/11- Here it is, boys. Another thing many of us have been waiting for the past ten year...

Re: The Hobbit

My eyes melted when I've looked upon this sword. This is... oh my... Val, this thing... http://i376.photobucket.com/albums/oo205/lgracin/orcrist.jpg ...skyrocketed me to 90%! I have to have it. I live for this ****. Check this wallpaper: http://www-images.theonering.org/torwp/wp-content/uploads/2011...

Re: The Hobbit

http://i376.photobucket.com/albums/oo205/lgracin/hobbitswords.jpg Oh well. Three brand new items to add to the collection. I guess it'll be a separate display cabinet, but embedded in the same "Middle-Earth Wall." [quote=""Darlak""]Oh and Val, I think Balin's weapon is...

Re: The Hobbit

[quote=""Darlak""]I'm pretty certain Smaug will have two pairs of legs and a set of wings, nothing else would make much sense. What was Tolkiens description?[/quote] http://hem.bredband.net/johava/middle/Smaug3.jpg Conversation with Smaug http://farm1.static.flickr.com/120/302869...

Re: The Hobbit

[quote=""Valkrist""]You see, during Balin's e xp edition to Moria, which happens after the Hobbit but before LOTR, he recovers Durin's Axe in the ruins and claims it for himself. So, did PJ include this little detail in his movie or not? Why is it important? Well, if he did, then...

Re: The Hobbit

Ten years ago I asked myself is Balin going to wield what later (chronologically) became Gimli's battle axe. In a few hours we'll find out.

Re: The Hobbit

Oin and Gloin were great, but the rest...

It's like a bad dream and I want to wake up immediately. :(

What's with the swords??? This shouldn't be some SEGA game! :(

I know it's (too) early to judge, but PJ might be pulling off George Lucas here. :(

Some seriously horrible stuff so far. :(

Re: Relics of Providence

Hello, everyone! :) My apologies for such a long absence. It's not that I have abandoned the UCF, it's just that I had (and still have) too much other things to do. I wouldn't be here today either, but I've been talking to Sedhal, and in the middle of our conversation he told me about a member here ...

Re: Conan Swords Return to Albion

Hmm... I was thinking about saving that track for the time when I complete the line and arrange them all inside my personal custom-built acropolis: http://i376.photobucket.com/albums/oo205/lgracin/acropolis.jpg ...so here's to a little sneak preview: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UChMJ14dQNs&fe...
