Same here but I can't begrudge the eye candy that's movie Thorin [In reply to] Can't Post
Laugh
My biggest problem is the look of rollovers Elrond and Galadriel. I never fully embraced those casting choices to be honest. Hugo Weaving just isn't someone I'd ever pick for Fair Folk. He isn't unsexy but Fair Folk were classically beautiful, not interesting attractive, unconventional attractive, etc. Classically. Undisputed. Timeless. Cate I think mostly suffered from unflattering ears and hair and because I saw Gladiator when I was reading LOTR so Connie Nielsen was my vision of Galadriel (including that insanely beautiful Roman fashion) that never let go. Radaghast...sigh. Never imagined him one way or the other but what we got I'm trying to block from my mind.
"RadagaStoner deserves no mercy!" Tauriel the Radagast Slayer, the Chief of Inglorious Elfguards

Tauriel saved us from Itaril. Never forget.
