The Hobbit

Like, . Also, Jackson should play in the movie.

 

[Tennyo]

I'm sure he'll have some sort of a little cameo.

Evangeline Lilly is hawt. I will watch these movies just for her even if when the time comes I think they look really stupid (not that they will anyway but STILL).

Eh. She has an ok face. She's not really all that impressive.

After the LoTRs shoop and makeup team gets at her though, she's gonna look like a completely different person.

 

[Tennyo]

You kidding me? I think she's gorgeous.

And isn't she just an elf? Prosthetic ears, maybe a wig (maybe). She won't be THAT different.

Liv Tyler and Cate Blanchett look almost nothing like they do in those films in real life. They were shooped and makeuped to hell and back.

Liv Tyler especially.

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

I thought Cate made for a really hot elf. Liv wasn't any more attractive than she ever is, though.

Not sure what I think of Kate Austen the elf. I guess she has the same sort of look to her as Liv.

I didn't find either of them to look that much different than they do IRL.

 

[Max Payne]

I didn't find either of them to look that much different than they do IRL.

Yeah because their skin, hair, and eyes are all so very smooth, fair, and completely blemish free in real life eh? Yeah they literally walk around in a haze of ethereal light every day.

Fucking derp. Cate Blanchett was especially good looking in those films and I usually don't find her attractive in the least.

 

[Tennyo]

Are you saying that there has never been another movie where women were made to look this way?

Most actors do look better in movies than they do IRL.

At least these two were still recognizable. Cate Blanchett is always hot, IMHO.

 

[Max Payne]

No. Why you would even make such a ridiculous leap is beyond me.

No shit, but the LoTRs films are the ones in question here and they did a number on these two folks.

 

[Tennyo]

I just don't see what the issue is though. :/

Agree to disagree I guess.

 

[Max Payne]

It's not an issue, it just is.

 

[Cthulhu]

There is no such thing as an ugly woman in most Hollywood movies or TV shows.


This is what's wrong with the world too, fyi.

These three brothers, all sons of the same mother, could not be more different from each other. Dori, the oldest, spends much of his time watching out for Ori, the youngest; making sure he's not caught a chill or got himself killed by Wargs or Goblins. Nobody quite knows what Nori gets up to most of the time, except that it's guaranteed to be dodgy and quite probably, illegal. Dori, Nori and Ori are intensely loyal to each other – and whilst they are perfectly happy fighting amongst themselves, woe-betide anyone who means harm to one of these brothers.

Also, fun fact from one of the commenters on io9: "Jed Brophy who plays Nori, on the left, played this orc in The Two Towers."

Those pictures are either fully drawn or heavily photoshooped, .

I do dig it, though.

I squealed when I saw Hugo Weaving. Elven tunics make you hotter

3:23 -> Legolas' concept art at the lady's back <3 I wanna see him donning his prince garments!

 

[Ghost X]

Not big on the look of Nori, but do like the other dwarves.

 

[Ite]

Peter Jackson is plumping up again. He was so thin in the first vlog!

 

[X-SOLDIER]

I blame the Dwarven lifestyle of roaring fires, malt beer, and fresh meat off the bone.

This is a good sign.

I forgot the quote before:

Distant cousins of Thorin Oakenshield, these two doughty Northern Dwarves join the Company out of a sense of loyalty to their kin, and also because they have a substantial sum of money invested in the venture. Along with Bombur, Gloin is the only other married Dwarf in the Company (there being a shortage of female dwarves in general). His wife is an acclaimed beauty with a particularly fine beard. Gloin is the proud father of a young son, Gimli, who will go on to become part of the famous Fellowship of the Ring.

And here's Kili & Fili

Dean O&#8217;Gorman as Fili and Aidan Turner as Kili in &#8220;The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.&#8221; Two of the youngest dwarves, Fili and Kili have been born into the royal line of Durin and raised under the stern guardianship of their uncle, Thorin Oakensheild. Neither has ever travelled far, nor ever seen the fabled Dwarf City of Erebor. For both, the journey to the Lonely Mountain represents adventure and excitement. Skilled fighters, both brothers set off on their adventure armed with the invincible courage of youth, neither being able to imagine the fate which lies before them.

I think Fili needs some more make up. His features aren't dwarvish enough

 

[Dana Scully]

I concur, Fili is far too good-looking to be a dwarf.
