Norc, Its a Fucking Moose. You ought to Know, you look in the Mirror every day I take it ?- Feanor

I was too drunk to notcie this previous, but now I have it would appear Feanor you are calling Norc a moose. And I am not all sure it is in jest, which is the only possible acceptable sort of name calling in Forumshire.
Disagree by all means, but without the name calling please-and that last sentence is in my moderators voice, which is deeper and has more resonance.

And Norc I better not see a sarky or pointed comment from you following this! Suspect

Never mind what kind of animal it is... what colour is the beast?

Grey? gray? grau? or grǣg... the last of which is Old English for grey.

Choose wisely.

GREEEEEEEEEN!!! Precious!

I've been looking at the facial expression on the upper moose. Downright smug and dreamy. The lower one seems to be thinking "There he goes again. Whatever."

I've just been over to Bree and seen some surprisingly enthusiastic stuff about the bunnysled where I thought I would find the usual negative nancying o.O

by Mrs Figg Sat Dec 15, 2012 2:25 am

they are all Negative Nancies in Bree so I cant tell the difference. and Elks are far prettier than Moose or is that Mooses, or Meece.

Between the mean-minded Negative Nancies in Bree and the sickeningly sycophantic Positive Pansies at TORn I am soooo confused... Shrugging

Thranduil is riding an Irish Elk, I believe (the extinct giant deer).

Ah that may be Karak- but what colour were they? Very Happy

I was not planning to either, but this guy better stop calling me stuff and misquoting me to try and "patch things up". I am kind of sick of his bullshit, but if he wants to be a jerk and say nasty things about others, fine. But don't expect me to hang around for long.

Ooo - what an interesting thought. Are you basing this on size? I believe they were massive beasts.

by Norc Sat Dec 15, 2012 4:13 pm

nooo.. thranduil is just very little.

by Elthir Sat Dec 15, 2012 5:00 pm

That's odd, because Thranduil actually means 'little deer/elk/moose/puma'.

Wait... no. No it doesn't.

by Norc Sat Dec 15, 2012 5:03 pm

puma?

by halfwise Sat Dec 15, 2012 5:04 pm

So plopping him on an elk is not a completely gratuitous idea?

by Elthir Sat Dec 15, 2012 5:04 pm

OK cougar [mountain lion]

According to Lascaux paintings, they were sort of greyish. Besides moose, Irish elk also had palmate antlers (and were certainly big enough to have been ridden). And, there would be some precedent for including them, as they are thought to be the Schelch referred to in the Nibelungenlied (one of Tolkien's inspirations).

by Eldorion Sat Dec 15, 2012 6:55 pm

Careful, some of the people here are very touch about the distinctions between different shades of grey. Razz

Cast talk about film 2.

Ian McKellen has confirmed that Belladonna Took will appear in the Extended Edition of AUJ. The Weta artbook for AUJ includes some concept drawings of Belladonna as well as Bilbo as a child. The book mentions that they filmed a scene of the Old Took's birthday where Gandalf shows up with fireworks and meets the young Bilbo.
