In a way I don't know why the film-makers go to the bother of obtaining such beautiful creatures, then give them so little screen time.
Why waste time on invented characters when there are so many other pretty things to stare at?  Would just five more seconds really have hurt the movie? Come on, PJ, indulge the animal fans in the audience!
I fully expect Gandalf's horse in the next movie to have a few close-ups to make up for the obviously clipped shot in DoS. In my mind, his new mount (or old, if we're looking at this chronologically) is a lot prettier than Shadowfax and deserves a few "hero shots."
And, yes, thank you, Avandel, for the pony pics. I now know what my new wallpaper's going to be. Well, that's once I can finally part with my one that I've had for over a year (Bilbo and Thorin hug).

I really don't see why you think you can't write poetry. You're halfway there with the way you describe Thorin's hair! Poetry's fairly easy to write if you just use free verse. I think you could do it. 
On a side note, your posts never cease to make me smile. They're hilarious! And thanks to you, I probably have about 200 more pictures than I really need.  But one can never have too many pictures of his #majesty, right?

Would just five more seconds really have hurt the movie? Definitely for the ponies, Gandalf's BEAUTIFUL horse! and so many other scenes. We could have T-shirts made up with that quote.  
Must say you seem to have excellent taste in wallpaper. That hug gets to me, every time, and is on the "replay" list. Along with the pine tree-staredown and rise and the entire end scene of AUJ really. Of course the end scene also was another superb showcase of Thorin's glorious mane and overall #Majesty, in general. As well as being a perfect use of a wind machine .

His #Majesty is my first and only muse! Never before in my whole life have I rhapsodized over a BEING (usually it's because I scored at a really great sale, like some incredible boots at 75% off or something...)
Re poetry - well, hmm - that seems to be an art of sorts, and I just sort of FRAGMENT when I try - I'm not good at music either so maybe it has to do with that? But there are folks on this board who are excellent and when a limerick thread starts it's really funny.
I personally think that one CANNOT have too many Hobbit stills *grins*. They are a comfort to flip through, often. And will be soon, because :
OT but this is as good a place to whine as any - soon I have to decide to back off TORn, or not - tho I have thought that before - re the SPOILERS will have to dial it down here. At first I was thinking re the EE I didn't care, I wanted to KNOW, but now I am thinking I don't want that experience of putting the disk in and settling back to watch ruined for me.
So I gotta decide to hide from certain places online, or not. If WB didn't do cheesy stuff like early download releases it wouldn't be an issue . But then my image collection will be something to look at!

Tho it's Richard Armitage's Thorin that triggered a kind of "unholy joy" and enormous respect - as well as all the other lush details and amazing performances in these films.
Images come from lots of sources - thing is, I SAY to myself I'll just format a quick image, but then I get sidetracked looking at Thorin's hair or something, and all of sudden a LOT of time has passed.
But I enjoy myself so much *grins*.
Anyway sometimes like the latest "hair shots" they are direct screen caps from the EE trailer - but I don't have the set-up like others must have where you can do really excellent caps, frame by frame - like the screen cap websites. Maybe someday, but I am not really good with heavy tech stuff.

Great Moments in Hair Acting #s 1 through 1,795

I believe we will need a thread detailing out each and every one of these Great Moments in Hair Acting. Or perhaps we should petition the mods to just create a new forum to more fully explore this topic? Better yet, this should be the subject of WETA's next Chronicles book. Or maybe all three, just to cover all bases.

Smash that evil creepy doll into a million tiny pieces! But then, it might just be able to re-form itself, like T2, cause, you know, evil. I saw that GEICO commercial on tv last night, and I'd say that sums up most horror movies for me. The Stupids, indeed.

Or minutes, in some cases. There are so many scenes that I feel got cut short! From the cells (would love to see Thorin's expression if/when he heard/saw Kili fraternizing with an elf *evil grin*) to Lake-town (apparently dwarves party hard... But just how hard? ).
The wallpaper I use is the one here:
https://thearmitageeffect.files.wordpress.com/...hehobbit-p1_8451.jpg
I've thought about changing it from time to time but can't bring myself to do it.
As well as being a perfect use of a wind machine
*snort* Yep. Thorin seems to have the wind machine going at all times. I wonder if they had one just for him.

Not sure I believe you there. I bet you could do it. I'm no poetry expert, but I think if the words work and you can get the feeling you want across to the readers, then it shouldn't matter if it sounds fragmented. It's more about conveying emotions than making the phrases flow smoothly (I mean, it's important that it's not choppy, but the words mean more). I'm not sure if any of what I just said makes any sense whatsoever. Maybe this'll make more sense: it should make an impact on the readers emotionally. I doubt a ton of people nitpick over the structure of poetry (I don't, but then again I was never able to understand how to write in meter in English class ).
I'm not sure I've ever seen a limerick thread in the two years that I've lurked here. Maybe I just missed them. *cough* Someone far more creative than I could start one...
They are a comfort! Flipping through my innumerable amount of Hobbit/LotR pictures always makes me happy.
And will be soon, because
*sniff* Another reminder of the unmentionable.
Regarding pictures: I found this yesterday and remembered your post about a whole movie of Thorin. Since we don't have a scene of him braiding his hair -- yet, maybe a little fan art will suffice. You've probably already seen it, but if not:
Yep, I learned how to insert images. And now TORn shall be inundated with Durin pictures.  No, I wont. I'll try to refrain. "Try" being the operative word...
I might have to tone down my TORn time too. I pretty much spoiled all of DoS for myself last year, and while it was great each week getting to hear more and more about the movie, I don't think I want that this year. I want to go in knowing relatively little and be absolutely blown away by PJ. Especially with three certain death scenes. I want to have the full experience; the full heart wrenching, tear-jerking, devastating experience (gosh, I sound morbid). Now, the question is if I can actually manage to pull myself away from spoilers and early reviews...
And back on topic (you know, the hair thing ), I found this yesterday on a blog:
I think we all have a hard time accepting that certain characters will always have better hair.

Indeed - more sampling of Great Moments in Hair Acting

I believe we will need a thread detailing out each and every one of these Great Moments in Hair Acting. Or perhaps we should petition the mods to just create a new forum to more fully explore this topic? Better yet, this should be the subject of WETA's next Chronicles book. Or maybe all three, just to cover all bases.
I picture a sumptuous coffee table book, with a suitably #Majestic tooled and engraved cover - perhaps with a little gold leaf? And of course the finest resolution imagery, in loving detail, with several special fold-out sections. And we could petition the mods to allow for a forum that allows super-high resolution images, but we would probably be told we have to select just a few for posting, and I have found that to be an impossibility in these films. There is far too much glorious hirsuteness to be had, for one thing, from the ponies to the dwarves. And trying to select a favorite #Majestic Hair Moment is like trying to pick out a favorite star in the night sky, or a favorite grain of sand.
And so, before the suspected frenzy of a new PR release gets under way (and we know the Heir of Durin fans are calling for their King, tho personally I fear another crown-bound image. It is not, of course, that it doesn't warm heart and soul to see the King Beneath the Mountain come into his own *chills*. And yet, for me, IMO Thorin is ALREADY crowned with silken twilight and has a heart of fire, that burns more than any jewel ever could. No forged crown is needed - for Thorin IS, forever, the ONE, the #Majestic).
And so, I send a last (HA!) sampling of the finest pilosity ever filmed into cyberspace (*cue epic soundtrack theme, probably a rendition of Misty Mountains*):
Like his #Majestic uncle, I've always thought that forest conditions certainly showcase the hairs of the Heirs of Durin - here we see the handsome golden Fili looking particularly fetching. So annoying THE HOBBIT is in the foreground here! Happily, tho, in the next film the egregiousness is rectified by some nice Fili closeups:
Mmmm, blue eyes and rich butterscotch gold hair and FIERCENESS and loyalty to his bother *tears*....
The rest of the imagery is all Thorin. I really don't think, at this point, I need to explain why, this being a hair thread and all. It's not so much thread hijacking, as there are many HAIRY denizens of Middle Earth. It's just IMO when Thorin Oakenshield shows up, it's difficult to focus on anyone else (I did some adjusting re the darker shots so the HAIR can be fully appreciated . Also tried to avoid posting images I have put up before!)
How about a midnight waterfall of glorious rippling silk? And does PJ know how to frame a shot or what? The LION of Erebor!
I think it was right about here I lost it for good re the Mountain King, tho the entrance and the speech had pretty much done the job already.
Action hair - desperate, bloody, sweat-soaked - GLORIOUS.
Yes, those forest conditions certainly fluff out the already voluminous mane!
Mmm - tumbling lion's mane - so fierce .
So BADASS.
Of course, these are all AUJ shots, and I have left out many, including the signature EPIC pine tree scene, which is, among other factors, DEFINED by the billowing espresso curtain of Thorin's hair. But imagery from that scene (including the STARE of DOOM) is so prevalent about the 'net, suggest folks collect hi-res imagery from FB and the Heirs of Durin sites, among others.

DOS - Great Hair Acting Moments, part deux
[In reply to]
|
Can't Post
|
|
I think DOS, like AUJ, is often DEFINED, shot after shot, by careful cinematography that absolutely celebrates, and makes shameless use of, Thorin's shimmering riverine mane (and let's face it, a number of other attributes).
Consider this magnificent shot:
Here I messed with the image contrast so that we can really get a good idea of the sheer silky sumptuousness - there's a REASON all those fan-ficcers just want to mess with this jaw-dropping richness. Just like PJ began an entire SCENE with a back shot of a character - not the only time a back view of Thorin plays a critical role. The shame of it is, this only lasts a few seconds, but thankfully remotes have pause buttons.
More flowing action hair ! *hit replay button*
Insane hair. Insanely intense. Insanely handsome - there just aren't enough words in English. C'est magnifique!
*THUD* (as often as I saw DOS in theaters, the audience was riveted at this scene. Every time.)
Happily, for the hair freaks among us, there seems to be much more choice hirsute goodness to be had:
But thankfully the TE version of DOS provided us with this quick few seconds:
Not only is there the decadent cafe noir mane, but all of other Thorin/Richard's numerous attributes and qualities. Re images like this , I fully understand why some fans have said Thorin is so beautiful, it's almost unbearable. My own feeling is gratitude to PJ for sticking a camera up close to Thorin/RA's face, frequently. Of course, one has to be an actor of surpassing skill for that to be an advantage for a director to utilize, but one has only to view Richard's other work to understand that the man IMO was born to be filmed, and often.
PS. A Thanks to Bomby for starting this whole thread! Hopefully soon we shall see some HAIRY goats and war boars!

speaks a thousand words.
Yep, I learned how to insert images. And now TORn shall be inundated with Durin pictures. No, I wont. I'll try to refrain. "Try" being the operative word...
LOL, Kim helped me and others, with some superb instructions, and then there is the TORn image guide 'coz I can't remember everything...but IMO there is no such thing as too many pictures, ESPECIALLY of the Hairs Heirs of Durin. After all, after all the thought and work of the WETA team, we would be MEAN and CHURLISH to not CELEBRATE the accomplishments of the dedicated costumers at every possible occasion! Plus, it's obvious that the boringnessnessness of modern life has kindled a longing in many for the days of HIRSUTENESS, of glorious beings whose hair streams in the breeze .
Ooooh, thank you for the fan art! That's one of the little attention details that fascinated me, that Thorin and the others rebound their hairs with thong and cord at Bard's - every little detail. Too bad we didn't get to see them primping before they set off to steal some weapons. And that picture of Fili is just another example of the rich golden tresses that IMO make our Heir a worthy candidate of the "best hair in Middle Earth."
Poetry? Thank you for your vote of confidence - er, maybe one day I shall try. And looks like Kim managed to find some limerick threads *grins* I will have to go re-read those myself.
Oh, BTW, re kind of backing off TORn, actually I was thinking what to do about the DOS EE re spoilers. I'll think about BOFA later , tho some thought will be unavoidable. But re the DOS EE, at first I was going to let myself be spoiled, but I keep changing my mind about that. This early release for a digital version *BLEEP!!!*
PS:
I want to have the full experience; the full heart wrenching, tear-jerking, devastating experience (gosh, I sound morbid)
Me, I'm just too upset, it's just not going to be the kind of thing I need to SHARE with others, and *gloomily* I keep wondering how I am supposed to sit through AFTER, when so much of the life will be gone from the films...I know this is a Tolkien board and it's Bilbo's journey and all that, but it gets different IMO when things are depicted on film. *Sigh* But there ARE things I do want to see in BOFA, and anyway the day will come when I shall have control of the remote and can watch what I like, my way. In any case, for NO movie am I a person who would watch *those* kinds of scenes again and again - that's just me. Probably. Since I haven't seen BOFA yet, don't know how I will feel, in the end!
PS2
I think we all have a hard time accepting that certain characters will always have better hair.
LOL, for me, Thorin's hair is so epic I can't even think about comparing my mop to something like that. It's like a sparrow pretending to be an eagle. I just VENERATE the wonder of it all.

I've seen the scene, of course - but, that is lovely *saved* . Thank you for posting the link!.
LOL:
*snort* Yep. Thorin seems to have the wind machine going at all times. I wonder if they had one just for him.
But yah know, I'm not complaining. It's good to be king, and good for me that this is my king - he's welcome to bring the portable wind machine along *grins* PS, noticed in Erebor it seems to be DRAFTY, but funny how the breeze always came from a direction that resulted in Thorin being strikingly picturesque . Guess it wouldn't have been useful to have hair blow in your face and trip down all those steps and walkways (no-one in Middle Earth EVER seems to have heard of a hand rail )

I didn't get to read the other two threads (darn life; will try to get to them tonight), but I did get to read yours. It was great!
I know an image like this was posted before, but I couldn't help but not post it after reading about kilts (it's Thorin only since it seems the only two people still reading this are Thorin fans ):
I think it fits the "very well built" and "hair flowing, unmatched parts."

It took me a while to figure out how to post images. I think it was at least an hour (yes, I'm slow on the uptake when it comes to computers), even with Magpie's excellent guide to lead me through the various steps. But it was an hour well-spent.
but IMO there is no such thing as too many pictures, ESPECIALLY of the Hairs Heirs of Durin. After all, after all the thought and work of the WETA team, we would be MEAN and CHURLISH to not CELEBRATE the accomplishments of the dedicated costumers at every possible occasion!
I agree wholeheartedly. And as much as I think PJ, crew, WETA, and the actors should know that we appreciate their hard work (and I'm sure they do know), I hope they never read any of this. I think I'd die of embarrassment. But if it made them smile then I guess it would be worth it.
Fili is a very worthy candidate. Exhibit A:
And he makes an excellent subject for the artists:
I was just talking spoilers in general. I'm fine with spoilers for the DoS EE. I have to start planning already for BotFA so I can start my twelve step recovery from TORn addiction. I'm afraid that I'll have a lot of relapses and inadvertently end up spoiling the whole thing. It'll be awful prying myself away in the weeks before the release.
I'm sure that those scenes will be beautifully acted by the actors and will be a sight to see. They could quite possibly be some of the best death scenes in cinematic history. And I think we all need to remember that they're just characters (I myself have a hard time with that ). It's not the end of the world, just the line of Durin. Plus, when the DVD comes out, the remote's always waiting to faithfully serve its' master. And even if you do end up watching those scenes, you can always just pop AUJ back in to cope.
Hmm. Well, if you mean this Sparrow, I don't think you have far to go.

Getting a little possessive of Thorin, are we? I don't know how kindly the other Thorin thralls will take to that.
Well, other Thralls aren't dealing with someone RATIONAL. Seeing as when someone walks in front of the screen when it's a Thorin scene my eyes glow red and my head spins around 360 degrees. Tho I hafta admit, with the plethora of RA/Thorin sites it's every Thrall for themselves from the looks of things.
I'm ashamed to admit that I never even noticed Thorin's hair blowing around in Erebor.  I must have still been laying on the floor recovering from Smaug and his voice.
I will concede that Smaug is the most magnificent of beasts with voice to match, but then again, one could sort of say that about Thorin. Happily tho a great deal of the time, there was a nice separation of screen time, so that I was contentedly able to appreciate the wonder of Smaug while my heart rate stabilized from viewing Thorin's hair in a previous scene.
I will offer a choice example of the careful directional drafts found within Erebor. Perhaps this IS some sort of symbiotic relationship with the mountain, in that natural forces are mystically attuned to the #Majesty and conspire to ensure the Hairs Heirs of Durin consistently look sensational, even in this case where Thorin is a wee perturbed with his foot-shuffling Hobbit:
It seems to be a somewhat general consensus that while of course it's very sad that Thorin is about to create a hobbit shish kebab of sorts, the trauma of the scene was fortunately blunted for any number of Thralls who were too busy struggling with the primitive parts of their brains redlining, e.g. *we wish Thorin would look at us like that*. *Cough*.

Can't Post

In the frenzy of excitement of poster releases and like that (tho *cough* zzzzzzzz from me on the new Gandalf one *sigh*) - congrats again on solving the mystery of image posting, tho LOL Kim once remarked re myself she might have helped create a monster *grins*. I think of it more as a badly needed public service. Sharing is caring. Wonderful images of Fili and I am really looking forward to seeing him in BOFA - e.g., will he be the one taking the lead, insisting the company goes to Erebor, and will we see the weight of sudden kingship on his face? I know Dean O'Gorman will be terrific, if that is the way the story goes.
Thorinitis?
I agree wholeheartedly. And as much as I think PJ, crew, WETA, and the actors should know that we appreciate their hard work (and I'm sure they do know), I hope they never read any of this. I think I'd die of embarrassment. But if it made them smile then I guess it would be worth it.
Wouldn't bother me any, seriously. For one thing, it's obvious PJ & co. PLANNED to tear our heartstrings = $$$. And I've read articles about how tough it is to be a male actor re "the look" and all that - pretty brutal business - so if audiences find you appealing, that's possible job possibilities. And of course, for me, anything I ever posted could be put up in Times Square as far as I am concerned - seeing from the looks of things I have a lot of company who think the same thing, worldwide.
*Grins* besides, many of my adjectives have THREE SYLLABLES with off-and-on literary references, which proves that my fangirling is HIGH CLASS fangirling. No sir, no screw-on tops for me - for Thorin Oakenshield it's cork-stoppered Domaine de la Romanee-Conti Romanee-Conti Grand Cru or nothing. And I'm not one who posts SOME of the things I have tripped over, which tho I love animals and nature and "natural things" think some of these fans probably shouldn't share that "STUFF" *cough*
For the rest...well, re the EE or BOFA I really don't know what I am gonna do yet, re the spoiler situation - my mind changes daily. It just DEPENDS, but on what I don't know. And in the coming days there might be inadvertent leaks anyway, the kind of stuff you just trip over. But this has been fun - your posts are really funny! so hope you are going to be around the front pages of the board now and again, before we all have to decide whether we are going to, and when, to back off. Before DOS I really cut myself off, for the most part, from any movie site, news site, ANYTHING that might leak spoilers. I cheated a little, but it worked for the most part.
But it was hard, changing habits, and felt weird and uncomfortable. Was very relieved when it was over. I was glad I behaved that way at the time, but it *bleep*
PS. I love Jack Sparrow - and HIS hair IMO was a SIGN that things, potentially, could really look up in the realm of hirsute cinema.
Hó , Það sé ég föður minn
