My first TORniversary!
|
Can't Post
|
|
For my first TORniversary mathom, I would like to present to you a dissertation on the geo-political situation in Middle-earth in the First, Second and Third Ages.
Ha! As if.
We all know why I’m here, so let’s get to it! I give you just a few favorites of Thorin and his hair:
And one of the actor who brought him to life:
Feel free to add your own! Avandel apparently read my mind and has already put up an excellent post here and started a new thread here.
I can’t believe it’s already been a year! Thanks for making TORn such a fun and welcoming place to play.
P.S. Happy TORniversary to Meneldor too!

As you know, mine was back in March (have I really been a member that long, and have I really been a Thorin/Armitage fan for nearly two years? I guess time really does fly when you're having fun). I've put the remaining questions for my latest CHOW thread in, so head over there and respond, if you haven't already done so. And a couple of questions: First: How many times have you seen Into the Storm (just curious), since I've only seen it twice (I can't afford to go every day) so far, and second, which movie or TV series is that last picture from (I'm not sure if I've seen that one, yet)? And I love how you conclude your CHOW responses by all your watches, since they always seem to put a smile on my face (especially when I'm depressed or having a bad day). So, when are you going to start writing fan mail (just kidding, because even I'm too bashful to do anything like that, but I admire the fans that can, and actually get responses)? 
Far over the Misty Mountains cold
To dungeons deep and caverns old
We must away, ere break of day
To find our long-forgotten gold.

Hm...only one of Kili, and I don't see any Fili...oh, wait, you said "hair", not "heir"! 
Thank you for the mathoms, and I must say I do enjoy this "obssessive behavior" of all of you "thralls" over on the Hobbit Movie board!
(It's Meneldor's also? Bring on the sailing ships and pirates!  )

Looks like we've been TO/RA fans for about the same period of time. What in the world did I do with my free time before that? 
To answer your questions: I've seen Into the Storm 3 times, and enjoyed it just as much on the third viewing as the first. That last picture is actually from a 4 part Cinemax interview that also included Luke Evans, Evangeline Lilly and Benedict Cumberbatch: part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4.
Will head on over to the CHOW thread shortly! Glad you enjoy my watches, it's been fun coming up with something new every week and nice to know they help put a smile on your face. However, I am like you in that I don't write fan mail, but I did think it was cool when someone sent him her artwork and got it signed. And I do hope to be able to see him perform in person (bring the Crucible to New York!) and get the opportunity to tell him how much I admire his work.

Yup, this was focused on Uncle Thorin, Kili just happened to be there for that one shot. But here, let's remedy that:
And one more of Thorin, I really hope we get this scene in the EE:
I almost put a note at the end of my post suggesting folks post pictures of ships or pirates for Meneldor, so I guess I'll do it now!

Lucky for me I have a twin sister. My feelings have now betrayed her. No, wait, wrong movie!
Here's a TORniversary mathom for you, Kim.

But time for some pretties:
But seeing as this is a CELEBRATION
Yeah, I'd like this for a present too *THUD*

Here's what I have so far: In the beginning, there was some singing or somesuch, then some elves showed up, followed by dwarves when they were allowed.  Not sure when the Men and Hobbits appeared, let's say it was on a Tuesday. Then, there was a big battle with Sauron where he was all "I have the one ring! I have the power!" and everybody else was like, "no way, dude."
Pretty good considering I haven't read The Sil yet, right? I'll finish it up and send it right over.

Warning: proceed at your own risk. Best to either be sitting down, or have something soft to fall on in case you feel faint, swoony or light-headed by all of the majesticness to follow.
I'll try to remember that for next time.
Thanks RD!
