Re: United Cutlery's - The Hobbit - Movie Props!

I have to say that all this negativity has been really good for me. It makes me realize the commitment I need to maintain in QC. Thankful I show you my "Worst" in the introduction of a new item. I promised all of you a photo of the #2 Eomer helm over a week ago, well it never made it to th...

Re: New Movies

I just bought Ender's Game on video because it looked decent to me. I had remembered some of you had talked about it here but didn't read anything, avoiding spoilers. I came back to this thread to read because I was wondering whether or not I want to read the book(s). Before buying it (the film) I r...

Re: United Cutlery's - The Hobbit - Movie Props!

[quote=""rick cottontree""]got my orcrist scabbard today and the tip is broken[/quote] Sorry to hear about this Rick. Would you be so kind as to take a photo of it so we can see what the details are of what is being purchased? I'm curious about what the materials are, I assume it...

Re: Sleepy Hollow

Well I got caught up on episodes 11 & 12 today.
I must say I totally enjoy Ichabod Crane with all his eccentricities.
The whole cell phone social network stuff was really funny.

Re: Sleepy Hollow

[quote=""BladeCollector""]Does anyone know why it only got 13 episodes? I guess Fox wasn't that confident in the show, I wonder if next season will be a full 20+ episode season. I love how they are bringing a lot of elements and backstory, to the show. It was going to get old rea...

Re: United Cutlery's - The Hobbit - Movie Props!

[quote=""Valkrist""]I'm starting to believe that Legolas has a set of different knives and scabbards for every day of the week - all coloured slightly differently. Because elven fashion rules are fickle and must be observed, y'know? :rolleye: [/quote] Along with different contact...

Re: The Hobbit

[quote=""EagleFriend""]DON'T watch if you haven't seen the movie (DOS). It's one of those "how...should have ended" videos. Made me laugh How The Desolation of Smaug Should Have Ended, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJOSAwNzyi4 [/quote] Well I don't know about what othe...

Re: The Hobbit

[quote=""EagleFriend""]Sorry if this is the wrong tread for this but, I found a photo of Girion with his/Bard's sword and must say that I like the design :) [/quote] I'd say it's the right thread for it considering Bard is a big topic right now. That is a cool design, I like it a...

Re: The Hobbit

Now that black speech is over I get to rant about the OTHER thing that I didn't like: The Legolas, Tauriel, Kili love triangle developing. I did mention Phillipa & Fran, and still believe thay are the driving force behind this whole "Affair" :p uker: The possibilities are indeed endles...

Re: The Hobbit

[quote=""Lindir""]It's such a quick shot, I was like "Damn, there's no rewind button :( " :P [/quote]
Rewind is on it's way, just a matter of time before it gets released on DVD & BluRay.

Re: United Cutlery's - The Hobbit - Movie Props!

[quote=""Valkrist""]Those are my thoughts exactly but from speaking with Polyphemus and a few other ebay sellers privately, I've gleaned some understanding into the issue. A lot of this discussion can be found in the Price is Right thread, but it basically boils down to a lot of ...

Re: The Hobbit

[quote=""Olorin""]On a related but sad note, I read that Wojciech Kilar just died. He composed the score for Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula, a really beautiful score, and was in the early running to score LOTR. http://www.theonering.net/torwp/2013/12/29/85803-polish-composer-woj...

Re: United Cutlery's - The Hobbit - Movie Props!

No doubt they had "Tall Paul" wielding that prop. Some of you may recall that is 7+ foot actor filled in for any character when interacting with the hobbits so that the scale would be believable. I'm not saying he wore the Sauron armor in the prelog shots, but was probably wielding the mac...

Re: The Hobbit

My guess is that Howard Shore had some flashbacks and made it clear to PJ he wasn't up for the whole gig again. Being 10 years older I don't blame him. Don't misunderstand me, I think he was up for doing all the new stuff, but didn't want to deal with the last minute recuts that required him the bur...

Re: Merry Christmas!!

I certainly wish all of you a very Merry Christmas.
May God bless those of you traveling with safe passage there and back again.
Hope Santa brings you all wonderful toys, and your time with loved ones full of joy. :)

Re: The Hobbit

On the 2D note, which was how I saw it the second time around, it made me realize I have no preference. Maybe because I saw it first in 3D I felt the depth anyway.

Deimos, why would you want your scabbards to have silver scroll work rather than the gold?

Re: The Hobbit

[quote=""Olorin""]Multi-quoting is easy. Just click the button to the right of the word "quote" at the bottom of each post you want to multi-quote. The button has "+ on it. After you've clicked that button on each post you want, go down to the bottom after the last...

Re: The Hobbit

[quote=""Olorin""]If you can do that, you will be rich beyond the dreams of avarice.[/quote]
Transparent Aluminum is probably easier.

Btw, would anyone care to start a thread that e xp lains how to multi-quote. I'm sure it's a piece of cake but I try and just can't figure it out.

Re: The Hobbit

[quote=""Nerdanel""]Thranduil, this stood out to me as well. Black speech? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure this scene was in Mirkwood before Bilbo attacks the spiders? He is holding Sting in his right hand, and reaches into his left pocket with his left hand to get t...

Re: The Hobbit

[quote=""Jamanticus""]Hehe, this emotion brought to you by Elven Mood Eyes®[/quote] Well this certainly cracked me up. :thumbs_up After reading all your comments on Legolas' eye color, I guess I'm glad I brought it up. Thanks for letting me know the apology wasn't necessary Olori...

Re: The Hobbit

As far as Legolas' age is concerned, it may have just been something someone told me, or even speculation made by some supposed Tolkien e xp ert. (With a little horn to his ear, "He said he's an exspeart" :coolsmile ). I spent a lot of time trying to find info on the contacts, eye color is...

Re: The Hobbit

[quote=""Nasnandos""]This will now be known as the black thread.[/quote] Black Speech of Mordor perhaps? :P I didn't feel like going into all the details about my agreement with you on the whole Erebor ending, but you covered all the bases in your reply. More black speech- I agre...

Re: In new, very new!

Welcome Jason.
After seeing the close up shots that Legion posted of his MC Sting, I think you started out with the perfect piece, congrats.

Hope you jump right in, there's a lot happening in here. Great bunch of people :thumbs_up

Re: The Hobbit

After reading so many other members remarks, I decided to go back and see TDOS again to check on my initial opinion, and see if I had a knee jerk reaction. I decided to watch AUJ before I went because I basically liked it, and wanted to see if I felt there was a different "feel" in the sec...

Re: Countdown There and back again.

[quote=""BladeCollector""]It was originally scheduled for Summer 2014 but was pushed back to December 2014[/quote] I guess it figures they'd do this. I suppose it gives Weta digital more time to make the Battle of Five Armies far more epic than Pelennor fields, which I assume is ...

Re: The Hobbit

I think it's difficult to comment without being specific and thereby throwing in spoilers. So here's how it went from way back when: About two years ago I was exchanging some emails with Linder concerning my thoughts about the Hobbit. I remember it well because I actually mentioned that I may have t...

Re: The Hobbit

[quote=""Lindir""]I take it you didn't enjoy the film? Any reason in particular?[/quote] I read Olorin's review, so I guess it depends on individual taste. In answer to your question (without spoilers); I'd rename it- The Desolation of The Hobbit / The Adventures of Legolas &...

Re: The Hobbit

[quote=""Olorin""]They still project from FILM in your theaters???[/quote] Apparently I'm way behind and probably the laughing stock of this forum, but I wasn't aware film has been done away with until you asked this question. In my defense, apparently this new technology is only...

Re: The Hobbit

[quote=""Arwyniel""]That's what I saw it in this morning. The best way I can describe it is it feels like you are watching a play, not a movie. I like it because it's something different, but my husband saw it for the first time last night and he wasn't too keen on it.[/quote] Ju...

Re: Hi friends!

[quote=""rick cottontree""]amen - "that which is not real does not exist" - there is only the truth[/quote]
If it isn't in the archives, it doesn't exist.
Apparently you still exist EagleFriend, previous posts prove it.
Welcome back ;)

Re: Pure Middle-Earth discussion.

[quote=""Olorin""]Here's a pretty clever article from the Onion. For those of you unfamiliar with it, the Onion is a newspaper that writes parodies, or stories that are completely made up, just for laughs. Full warning: it reads like a crime scene depiction, so if your delicate s...

Re: New Weta everywhere you look!

[quote=""Valkrist""]In fact, I pretty much like all the dwarves released so far, except maybe for the strangely-posed Bombur looking like Speedy Gonzalez. :huh: [/quote] I think I saw that one and agree. Personally I think Bombur crashing on his butt when the credenza breaks woul...

Re: I love this place!

I'm coming up on 5 years at this point. To say this place has had a major impact on me would be an understatement; It's actually changed my life. The education I've received here on Tolkien alone has been pure joy. My many thanks to all the e xp erts in this forum. The most obvious impact has been t...

Re: The Hobbit

IMO, the best way to get the ladies to cry is to follow the story and kill off the heart throbs. And in this modern age of female hero's, Tauriel would survive. One can't e xp ect PJ and crew to display any politically incorrect weakness in the female, especially with Phillipa and Fran writing. Shal...

Re: POLL: Your favourite NAMED middle earth SWORD/KNIFE

Glamdring was right up there because I love the blade shape, but I voted for Legolas' Fighting Knives because of there shape and overall elegance. Orcrist would be a close third for the same reasons. Btw, my Legolas knives are approaching completion and will soon be up for grabs. I got side tracked ...

[quote=""timdp""]Dunno... In addition to the Aragorn lookalike issue, he looks too much like an older version of Orlando Bloom to me.[/quote] I've thought the same from the beginning, so much so that I wondered why they cast him. Of course I e xp ected them to age Lee Pace a bit ...
