Petty's Purist LotR Edits [3]

The only thing that felt wrong was the way the Dwarves look like men in costume. Dwalin in particular looks way too big, he looks every inch of the 6ft 2 he probably is in real life.

This reminded me of Orwell's parody:

"Just as he was puffing up the road, a dwarf lead a pony around the thorny shrub, loaded with all sorts of packages and parcels of all shapes and sizes. The dwarf was quite unusual. He was six foot two tall, clean shaven, long of limb but strong looking, with yellow hair and an aquiline nose, not too pointy, but not too rounded or bulbous at the end. He wore a knitted vest, green in color, long brown breaches - somewhat besmirched - and stout red boots; weathered but still in good enough condition for long treks over hill and through forest. On his handsome head - and he was very handsome - he wore a felt hat with a hatpin shaped in the likeness of a dragonfly. His eyes were those "come to bed eyes" you see in men who have spent time in Budapest. A strange kind of dwarf really, not the kind one often saw in Hobwiton, though sometimes in the western outskirts. Bango had never seen him before. He looked like a Man actually. "


Got to love this stuff By the way, did you change this particular paragraph after you edited the story, Orwell? I seem to remember it ended differently. "Bango wondered if he was a man/dwarf", something like that?

While I remember are you ready yet for me to upload TH to Dailymotion Mrs Figg?

oh yes I forgot. hows about Tomorrow or monday? tonight I want to finish watching Broadchurch, I am kind of at a I want to knowwhodunnit moment.  

Rory as a vicar is weird   

Weirder than the Doctor as a copper?
(Actually its got a few Who connections, Arthur, David and the writer Chibnall who wrote quite a few 11 episodes- Cold Blood two parter, Dinos on a Spaceship, Power of Three, Pond Life)

If you want to watch it tomorrow let me know 2-3 hours before you want to see it so I have time to upload it.

ok   

I must say David Tennant doesnt look or sound anything like the Doctor so I can watch him without problem. Rory however is acting like Rory. at the moment.

erm Petty, about those neeps. how about tomorrow night? have you edited the EE or the theatrical version?

Sure- what time you wanting to sit down to watch it at? (GMT please!)

And its theatrical versions, DOS EE isnt out yet, so I will do the EE version when I have all the EE's.

around 9ish whatever 9ish means in your neck of the Woods. what does neck of the Woods mean anyway?

My apologies Figgs- I was busy earlier. And the estimated upload time just for the first part (they have to be under an hour to upload them) is roughly four hours, plus the processing time- so about 4 and a half hours anyway it seems.
But then its only an hour long (there are 3 parts all in) so you could watch them over two nights, but will be 1 in morning here by time it uploads) or I can cancel the upload and just start again tomorrow.

Tomorrow night is ok by me   or thursday or friday whichevers good for you.

I have started uploading the first part Figg- its estimating about 4hrs! Im hoping that will come down a bit.

Sorry Figg- I just checked at it seems to be stuck at 45% uploaded   Ill try again tomorrow, sorry.

no worries. my computer is pretending to be an Arctic Ice flow and is running about as fast as I can run. which is very slow to sat down.

Trying again, if it works should be up about 7.30- 8pm GMT.

Petty cant watch it tonight, its GOT episode 3. Do neeps go off if you dont watch them immediately?

And you didn't know this when you said 'Tomorrow night is ok by me'     

Cant you watch them both? As I can only upload in chunks less than 60 mins its only the first 58. So not much to watch.

Its not that my neeps go off (they ferment   ) but they do like to pull my neeps rather sharpish  

well unless you can offer me naked baps left right and centre and a Dwarve who is actually kick ass cool, I can wait a day.   

I cant watch before because its The Voice Italia and theres a singing nun.

Now tell me I should watch TH.

Your neeps wont be yanked out immediately surely?

They have been in the past- which is why I went to the length of arranging a day and time at which to upload it, thus avoiding any unfortunate yanking.   

sorry old bean. Thursday or Friday would be great, I dont know why I said Tomorrow, ie today, I got confused thinking it was Tuesday. happens.

Is that also your excuse for why it never seems to be barrel scrubbing day?   

Fine, I'll do it, anything for a quiet buckie filled life, I will cancel the current upload and start it all again tomorrow, for the third day in a row {{{  }}}}

hey! the other two times was your fault.

Yes but thats not a reason not blame you for them.    Besides it cant really have been my fault I was drunk at the time.
