LOTR funnies

Ok, so I'm at school right now and very bored (I'm the teacher, not the student).

I actually don't have much to do since at the moment I'm subbing for another teacher and the kids are just taking a test. So what do I do? Find amusing Lord of the Rings and Hobbit pictures online. I love both and while looking up pictures of various people, mainly Thranduil today, (don't knock it - he's gorgeous!) I came across a few great ones. This is largely for my sister Ivy over at Revealed in Time. She has the same sick sense of humor I do.

Mmmm...Elven goodness.
That sword is epic. The upper potion of the blade is actually open scroll work. (You can see his hair through it)
Also, the designs on the shoulders of his robe looks like spider webs.
 
Enjoying a family bonding moment here.
(Yeah, I know Tauriel isn't family but she and Legolas would like to be!)

Legolas: "Uh, Dad, does Mom know you still have these pictures of you two when you were dating?"
Thranduil: "Oh God, she's going to kill me if she ever sees these..."
Tauriel: "Maybe I don't want to get mixed up with this family after all..."
Thranduil: "Turn it off!!!! Turn it off!!!! Turn it off!!!! Your mother's coming!"

Ok, how could you not laugh at this? Pretty much sums up Thranduil in one sentence.
Wonder how many times his kids got this look...

Getting chewed out by dad.
***Side note: Lee Pace (Thranduil) is actually two years younger than Orlando Bloom (Legolas)***
Ok, this guy is thousands of years old and the only gray hair he has is in his eyebrows. Whatever magic he's using, I want some. He's got gorgeous eyes too.
"Ok boys, fess up, who's been cutting splinters into this throne again?"
Yeah, so that's what I've been doing to amuse myself. Maybe I'll do a few more of these for other characters. Fili and Kili... I KNOW there has to be plenty of amusing material there....

    You know, I was wondering how Pace and Orli compared in age. Pace does have very lovely eyes. I'd love to cast him Draco Malfoy's long-lost older brother :-D

      He does have a Malfoy look about him. I was surprised to find out Orli was the older one, but he's so baby faced. I think my next post will be about Thorin, FIli, and Kili. Mostly Thorin. Lots of him. :)

"Much Ado About Nothing"

Image
My favorite comedy by Shakespeare is hands-down "Much Ado About Nothing". It's an easy read with memorable characters, a good balance of drama and comedy, and has some of the best monologues and pithy statements Shakespeare ever came up with. It's also interesting because the story at first seems to revolve around two certain characters, then you realize that it's actually about two others. There are several minor characters that lend to the humor, or evil, of the story but all the storylines converge and like the title suggests, the drama all ends up a big fuss over nothing. In 1993 a movie version of the play was made by Kenneth Branagh. With an all star cast and beautiful filming locations in Italy, it was an instant hit. So, let's delve right in! As per Shakespeare's style, we'll introduce the Dramatis Personae (cast of characters) first. Kenneth Branagh as Benedick Benedick is a soldier from the city of Padua in Italy. He is a fightin

Thornton, Thorin, and the flawed hero

Recently I've been re-watching one of my all time favorite BBC miniseries: North & South. Richart Armitage as John Thornton and Daniela Denby-Ashe as Margaret Hale Basic storyline : A father, mother, and daughter from the rural south of England moves to the mill town of Milton in the north. Margaret, young, a little naive, and quite outspoken, meets local cotton mill owner John Thorton, a quiet, brooding character with a bit of a temper and a sarcastic tongue that could clip a hedge. Sparks soon fly between the two and not the good kind. These two can't be in the same room without one or the other starting a verbal sparring match. I love the story because both have character flaws and both end up the hero. It's a very true to life story. We've all known someone like Margaret Hale or John Thornton. Maybe we are them. So, if you love period dramas, or stuff from the BBC, check this one out. Now, when I first started this movie, I hated John Thornton. The bo

Movie Synopsis: The Hollow Crown

I love Shakespeare. Everything he wrote, comedies, tragedies, histories, sonnets... Last year one of his greatest works was turned into a miniseries. Commonly refered to as "The Henriad", the stories of Richard II, Henry IV, and Henry V were masterfully performed by an all-star cast under the name of "The Hollow Crown". The three kings of the Henriad: Richard II, Henry IV, and Henry V. Richard II The story begins 1398 with King Richard II. Richard's cousin, Henry Bolingbroke is in a heated dispute with Thomas Mobray. They challenge each other to a duel and ask Richard to stand as judge. Despite objections from both Richard and his uncle John Gaunt, Henry's father, the duel goes ahead as planned. At the beginning of the duel however, Richard intercedes and banishes both men. Mowbray is banished for life whereas Henry is banished initially for ten years, which Richard then reduces is to six. This is Richard's first fatal mista
