spot the age difference

since there was a lot of talk about that we can see how the LOTR actors have age in TH, I would like to adress the topic here.

FRODO:

not really much of a difference is there? one from 2001 and the one on the right is 2010/11/12 (not completely sure)

LEGOLAS:

okay, still really good looking, but there is a BIG difference. The first one is from one of the lotr movies, the one on the right from the launch of three musketeers.

any more re-appearing people..
IAN MCKELLEN:
this is not really fair, cus he is a wizard and he's supposed to look old, anyhow, I don't care. He's a great actor!


and just because.. of course:

Thankyou Norc- every time I see a pic of Gandalf from the Hobbit I get a twinge of uindefined crabbit- and thats solved what it is!
Its the beard.
In an attempt to compensate for the actor being older they have tried to make Gandalf look younger but having black still in his hair- only Gandalf never had dark hair (Saruman did- he still had traces of it in his beard)- but Gandalf in TH is described as having a 'long white beard'- more like the LotR's version in the films.
By crivvens! Something else to be crabbbit about! I must order more buckie at this rate.

ps dunno if its my internet but I only see 1 Elijah and he,unlike Frodo, has a beard (one worthy of a PJ dwarf!)

oh how cute is Elijah, very cute thats what.
and is that Leggy as a kid? sweet.

shoot me, but I think the beard looks better in TH. Yes, I can't remember, but he's supposed to have white beard? but I just remember reading long beard and huge eyebrows. And Saruman has white beard and all, can't confuse it..

Mrs Figg, yes, that isadorable, yes it's orlando and Ian is super handsome

you have slow internet, I see three.

I had the same elijah problem, Petty. But I noticed the little blue thing to the left that meant an image didn't show up. So I quoted Norc's post, stripped out the image link, and pasted into the browser. It showed up. Then when I went back to Norc's post it showed up again. Problem solved. I guess it's a buffer thing.

Must be my connection then.
Hopefully sort itself out later.

'And Saruman has white beard and all, can't confuse it..'- Norc

Actually in the book its Sarumans whose beard still has traces of black in it- so of any of them should have the darker hair in this its Saruman not Gandalf. Gandalfs is described as white in the opeing of TH when Bilbo first sees him.

yeah, okay. the book and all it's meaning aside, i like the th gandalf. he's gray. I don't think not-obsesive-fans will pick up on it.

Petty: try this. Look at the image in the link below.

Then go back to Norc's page and see if it shows up because it's been loaded into the cache.

says forbidden

Gandalf has a grey beard in both photos, but dont let Dave or Elthir hear us talking about grey stuff otherwise we will be here all the Fourth Age.

Theres definetly a lot more black in the Hobbit version Id say, look at his roots!

But you are right- it was wrong in LotR's too being greyish instead of white. And when it did go white, when Gandalf became The White (he's nothing if not one for simplisity PJ!) they gave him a beard trim in Valinor before sending him back- it was barely long enough to go on a dwarf (one of PJ's that is).

I think they have cranked up the contrast to the max on that hobbit photo thats why his hair and beard look so salt and pepper. ((((note I didnt say Grey at any point)))))) oh crap I just did.

Ssh...I don't think they heard. Let's none of us say anything about it for the next page and when they finally come and look they won't see it.

Drat, this may be at the bottom of the page. They are bound to notice.

I think halfwise is Sandra Sloma

I have no idea who Sandra Sloma is- and even worse if it turns out to be someone famous- its not fair to make me feel old and out of touch like this Ally - I used to know stuff!!!

I think Sandra is a member. talking of members, wheres Yooper?

Wait, did somebody say Grey?

I think Sandra is a member.- Mrs Figg

See! This is exactly the sort of stuff I used to know,probably.

Wait, did somebody say Grey? - David

No, no David, nothing of that shade here I'm quite sure. Not even off-white.

The text reads, "He had a tall pointed blue hat, a long grey cloak, a silver scarf, over which his long white beard hung down below his waist, and immense black boots."

That sounds fairly clearly white to me. Any argument Elthir?

I wonder if the silver scarf was mithril?

I'm still waiting for David and Elthir's review of 50 Shades of Grey.

There's only 4 Sandra Slomas in the USA. I don't think I'm one of them but my life gets complicated at times.

I didn't notice... don't worry.
