General Hobbit Movie Info (AVOID IF YOU DON'T WANT SPOILERS)

That link is gone, apparently; if anyone comes across another, I'd appreciate a link here. (I would have thought a link through TORN would be OK and allowed to stand.)

Oh, bummer. Maybe Elen will be able to scan the article. I recall her doing so for the last major Hobbit Empire article.

Sure, will get on it!

You're the best!

Aw shucks!

I thought it simplest to give one link for the album where I put the scans and you can click on each image within that...

Thank you so much, Elen!

Thanks! That's great.

You know, Thorin's look is growing on me. I think if you just take the Hobbit into account (and not the information about his age contained in the LOTR appendices), it is perfectly appropriate. And given the statement of the author of the Empire article about him exuding steely conviction, I really think that it will work out okay.

Can I post a link for the poor folks at TORN who are finding that they can't see anything at the original link?

Post by **Elentári** » Thu Jun 30, 2011 8:43 pm

I don't have any objection, but what's the risk if we publicize it there that the same thing might happen again?

Thu Jun 30, 2011 8:55 pm

Well the original scans were at a place called tumblr that looks like some kind of commercial site. I doubt anyone will make you remove the scans from photobucket. But I'll copy them into my own photobucket page first, just so we have a back-up.

Okay!

tumblr's a social site where kids (especially) post photos and videos and such. It's pretty popular. Or so the kids today tell me.

On second thought, I'm not going to do it. I don't want to get in trouble with the TORN administration.

Again.

Probably wise; I'm sure they've got you pegged as a maverick and a danger to us all.

I'd hate to think it was quoting geordie that changed his mind...

No, I hadn't even seen that, Dennis. Completely unrelated.

Actually I thought of coming here to complain about the free for all the Empire article has generated over there (the likes of which rival the union debates last fall) but then I remembered it is against the rules to do so.

Fri Jul 01, 2011 3:16 am

Well, to be perfectly clear, it only prohibited for the Marshals to comment on other messageboards (a rule that I skirted at best with my comment some months ago). It is not prohibited for all members to comment on other messageboards. We only ask that such comments be productive and not just an airing of grievances for the sake of airing grievances. I could certainly imagine a comment such as you describe falling within that perview (though even saying that much again skirts the rule against Marshals commenting on other messageboards).

The full policy can be seen here.

For the record, another link, to the same host I think, has been posted at TORn. I mention it only because it will be interesting to see how long it lasts.
