Actually now with a pic to compare to it is oddly reminiscent isnt it?

This Orc reminds me of the werewolf in the film "Van Helsing",with Hugh Jackman ( Anna Valerious's brother, Velkan.) shorten the muzzle a tad & its an orc ! raid the kitchen for a saucepan to bung on its head & "bobs yer uncle"

by Pettytyrant101 Mon Oct 22, 2012 9:00 pm

If Bobs your uncle I'm keeping well clear of him! Shocked

well, I dunno what your impression of "to fit" is.. maybe you're one of them gangstaahs with saggy jeans..

wasn't orc made as a mockery of elves? And I dunno about asexualy, I don't see many lady-orcs... I think there is a lady gobllin in moria, but I might be wrong (probably not though).

The face appears to have a muzzle of sorts: the mouth and nose look like they protrude oddly, like a dog. Maybe I'm imagining but it but Bolg just seems way more animalistic in his design than the orcs from LOTR.

OMG! yes, you're right! Maybe some sort of cross thing..(still like him)

maybe all the orcs was gay? I mean how do you read asexual in the book?

by Pettytyrant101 Mon Oct 22, 2012 9:31 pm

As Eldo has pointed out they bred the same way humans do- with sex. Orcs are not asexual!

by Norc Tue Oct 23, 2012 8:10 am

yeah, ofcourse, filthy people. I was just being sarcastic since it's not really mentioned at all how anyone "bred" in lotr.

The Empire website has some of their old articles from Lord of the Rings on at the moment- these quotes caught my eye:

“I read the book once when I was 18,” begins Jackson, inspired to pick
up the tome after watching Ralph Bakshi’s animated version in 1979.

"For starters, the book is very boyish, the female characters are marginal at best"- Boyen

“Hitchcock gave my favourite quote: ‘Where some people’s movies are slices of life, mine are slices of cake.’ - PJ

Martin Freeman is great, but I wish they'd find a better Photoshop person for their promotional material. Mad

by Norc Wed Oct 24, 2012 3:07 pm

yeah, lol.

btw, what's up with those baggy trousers?

by chris63 Thu Oct 25, 2012 1:33 am

Actually, the look the current style in America right now. When I was a kid 'shorts' meant your knees were free and you didn't need to wear a belt because they fit. Nowadays....sheesh.

by Norc Thu Oct 25, 2012 7:26 am

do you know what the fashion here is? slim jeans, preferably bought at the women's section, and they have to show at least half to all of your brightly coloured buttocks. a nice pair of pants, tight boxers, in bright colours is a must. then a classy shirt, t-shirt with cleevish to show of their nice mucles or whatever, and a fancy, expensive scarf. Because it get's cold. Low socks and shoes, la coste, meant for the summer, worn in the winter. And a down jacket.
