No, no, just me selectively picking on you again. Man, that feels good. Makes me feel forty-four again.
“There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.”

I am sure at least some of those boards will be agreeable to your posting pictures of hott female cast of The Hobbit. 
Let the other societies take the skilled, the hopefuls, the ambitious, the self-confident. He’d take the whining resentful ones, the ones with a bellyful of spite and bile, the ones who knew they could make it big if only they’d been given the chance. Give him the ones in which the floods of venom and vindictiveness were dammed up behind thin walls of ineptitude and lowgrade paranoia.

Oh sure they would. But not without screaming hoards of wimmen coming in and bellyaching and tearing assunder and raining on parades etc.
No one, nowhere, no how is gonna talk me out of what I have seen with my own eyes these last ten years.
Double standards rule the day.
Not one time in this thread have I seen anyone raining on anyone's parade or complaining about sexism or any such thing. Yet it has been my experience that as soon as a female pic is shown, the screaming hoards come running in and bash and tear and slash to their hearts content.
This is all well beyond what I care to relive anyway, but I felt obligated to point out yet another instance of bias and sexism.
Explain to me how this osgilliation and carrying on with semi-nude pics of men is in anyway relevant to the topic please.
Personally I am ok with it, but it seems that when I did it it was verbotten.
None of this fangggrrrll!!!!1 stuff belongs in this thread and if it were fannnbbbooooyyy!!11 stuff, it would be long gone by now.

Holby, you find an on-topic reason to post the pretteh in this thread or a new one, and it will be posted.
I do wish to point out that this is the HoF Movies forum, and I am not sure we're going to able to be be quite as strict about topic . . . wandering . . . as we necessarily have to be in, say, the Shibboleth forum, where the topics are serious and often scholarly (and where you hold your own better than I do, as you know).
I mean. This is where all the silly stuff about the movies will have to go, too. And the speculation, and the arguments, and the rumors, and the satiric stuff, and the jokes.
Post, by all means, your casting ideas for the female roles in the Hobbit.
Heck, post your ideas for female roles in the Hobbit. That's gonna call for some creativity all on its own.
Just remember who you're up against if you can't justify it. And I don't mean me. I mean a pretty terrifying array of women with whom you have tangled before. And some whose powers you have yet to test. . . .

I've no idea who the actor is, but hey, why not.
Has Bard been cast? I had always expected them to skip Bard and bring Legolas to replace him, but no one mentioned Legolas yet.
Speaking of whom, what is Bloom up to these days?

I always thought women spending money on getting their toes done was a complete waste of money. But I look at what that lady in the first picture has done and I must say the look is very appealing. I could see it replacing open toed shoes.
There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.... John Rogers
Fascinating. I've never seen armor the only function of which is to prevent the user from raising her arm.
Nice flying lion, though, i'd like one. I'm glad it's rider was able to afford high-heell boots, given how pressed she was to find anything else to wear.

Zappos. It's the only way.

<yawns> well, this is all very titillating, if you'll pardon my English! 
But I dare say that if this ITARIL is for real she'll probably look a lot tamer...something more like this?

There is magic in long-distance friendships. They let you relate to other human beings in a way that goes beyond being physically together and is often more profound.

Maybe she's on her way home from a wild night. Or after the goon who stole her clothes.Frelga wrote: Nice flying lion, though, i'd like one. I'm glad it's rider was able to afford high-heell boots, given how pressed she was to find anything else to wear.
That's one helluva bra, I gotta say. For both Alatar's pics. I wonder how that stuff stays on.
