The appendices get their first mention as justification.

This is interesting stuff about why these drastic changes have come about. Jackson's words on it I mean. "Telling the story through the characters."

by Pettytyrant101 Mon Nov 04, 2013 10:28 pm

Laying in with the tricky questions as usual. Rolling Eyes

Doesnt really count though Forest if you also make up the characters.

Evangeline is trying to be tactful....

by Pettytyrant101 Mon Nov 04, 2013 10:29 pm

'healing ceremony'? scratch

by Eldorion Mon Nov 04, 2013 10:29 pm

"Organic nature" ... also called making it up as you go along.

by Eldorion Mon Nov 04, 2013 10:30 pm

Also, Evangeline Lilly is clearly as baffled by this multi-continental streaming set-up as I am.

I'm late to the party it seems, but I liked this poster Very Happy

Mostly because of Gandalf's pipe smoking skills, though, truth be told. Annoys me a little that 2 out of 7 people in that poster shouldn't have been there at all, and both Thorin and Thranduil look too dramatic as always.

'Tinkerbell'- a diminutive faery character exactly like the sort Tolkien hated and created his elves to get away from? :facepalm:

by Eldorion Mon Nov 04, 2013 10:33 pm

Yeah, that was ... yeah. Also, I notice how she was asked which Tolkien characters she may have drawn inspiration from, and she talked about not wanting to copy movie performances. Suspect

Oh, Armitage is "a bit of a purist". lol!

What the hell is Anderson Cooper doing here?

The bow question has been answered.

What's been going on? I come back and everyone seems to have been watching a train wreck. I go back to where the video is supposed to be and youtube tells me it's having issue. Mad

I could use a good flamefest right now!

by Forest Shepherd Mon Nov 04, 2013 10:37 pm

I do enjoy myself a bit of Lee Pace.

by halfwise Mon Nov 04, 2013 10:37 pm

The fuck! Has the door been closed to all latecomers! Banghead

Maybe try using a different browser?

by Lancebloke Mon Nov 04, 2013 10:40 pm

Don't worry Halfy... they are all saying how purist they all are but that PJ and co are great at making it up as they go along which is amazing and PJ is amazing.

by Mrs Figg Mon Nov 04, 2013 10:41 pm

Armitage is NOT a purist, that line is crap.

He did say he was trying to be a bit in between.... not fully Gollum.

I was busy when it began,but started recording it about 20 minutes in. Youtube let me rewind to the beginning, so I think I've been recording since then. I can't see everyones comments cuz it would interrupt the recording and I don't want to look at the. On my phone. Ill see how it turns out in an hour or so.

by halfwise Mon Nov 04, 2013 10:42 pm

found it on youtube. Gawd the scrolling comments are ridiculous.
