Batman Update

  Add Legolas to the mix of top picks to play Batman in the planned 'Man of Steel'. I got this information originally from a New Orleans radio station and then they posted it on Facebook and Twitter; I was a few seconds off on giving my reply with the link to the story. And here is my answer to Orlando being added to the Batman list: HELL NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Actually I think OH HELL NO!!!! would have been apropos answer.

  Nothing against Orlando, I just can't see him as Batman. Too scrawny and high pitched. Yes I know he can work on it but it would be more time and cost efficient to have someone, like Richard Armitage, who has the body and voice built in portray Batman. Besides would it not divide Tolkien fan base to an extent to have Legolas and Thorin up for the same part?

Very Bruce Wayne:

Sorry Orlando maybe Robin but not Batman and definitely not Bruce Wayne:

LOTR and The Hobbit Lunch Boxes

  Just playing around on the web and I had looked up Doctor Who and found a sight called Entertainment Earth and when I found David Tennant's 10th Doctor action figure. With this the very quiet and hidden nerd girl in me interest was awaken so naturally I thought of The Hobbit and pretty soon I found my secret inner nerd girl coming out all over the place like a kid in the candy store and started posting things she found onto her Hobbit tumblr blog. and just knew it would not be enough and had to come here, even if it does seem childish, to share the goodies that made an impression that were found. Mainly it is three lunch boxes or as the sight calls them tin tote, because I did not think they were being made any more.

  Now the first one that Secret Nerd Girl came across was Gandalf the grey lunch box from Lord of the Rings.

My second lunch box has my first crush from the Lord of the Rings, Aragorn

 And then  I came across the somewhat ultimate lunch box with Kili in the foreground and our majestic Thorin Oakenshield in the background.  And that is when Secret Nerd Girl became Naughty Secret Nerd Girl with her thoughts and drools and grins and ...well, yeah, you get the idea because you have probably had similar thought and feelings. Here it is for us to do whatever over it.

Aragorn vs Thorin

A place on the web called Barmy Battles has decided to pit Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen) , my first Tolkien crush against Thorin (Richard Armitage), my latest and probably last Tolkien crush. You vote my liking which ever one by clicking on the Facebook icon, which of course means you have to be logged into Facebook to vote. It was difficult choice for me but in the end I voted for Thorin. Aragorn is in the lead by 86 votes.
