Thorin Thursday #11 - The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies – Main Trailer – HD Official Warner Bros. UK

   This is the final trailer to be released for The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies. It is also the best. From what I see the special effects in this trailer are better than what we have previously seen in the other trailers and dare I say Hobbit movies. The battle sequence in this seems to be more in line with The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, especially when the Orcs are running into Erebor. That scene reminds me of ants running into their nest.

  Then we have Galadriel kissing an apparently wounded Gandalf on the forehead.  I know she was not mentioned in the book but I love that she is in the movie. Galadriel gives an wise and ethereal balance to the movie.

There is Saruman saying"Leave Sauron to me". Well I guess we know that Saruman turning his back on the good in the world and joining forces with Sauron is close at hand.

Of course we have our Thorin Oakenshield looking regal and heartbreaking at the same time. You can see it in his eyes he wants to protect his nephews and I think especially Kili.

Thorin Thursday #8

So much has happened in a few short days this week. We have had the worldwide The Hobbit Fan Event Monday with the additional release of another The Hobbit: the Desolation of Smaug Sneak Peek trailer.

  The The Heirs of Durin did a wonderful job of making screencaps from the trailer, Thorin's being my favorite. These are my favorite. Love Thorin's hands and how he gently touches the fabric and his name.

  Then on Wednesday there was the release of the Frnch movie poster for The Hobbit Desolation of Smaug. So handsome.

  Then there is the GIF of the pictures that I love. A happy accident.

Thorin Thursday #7

 I have found a couple of Thorin painting of Thorin at devianART and a set of Thorin pictures of Richard holding Ocrist on Tumblr. I could not decide on which one to post so I think I will give us all a treat and post them both. I will do the photos of Richard first.

  Now with the second picture, I know it wasn't supposed to,but my mind went into the gutter. Then as cheeky as Richard can be in hindsight he may have thought the same thing. I hope so. I know I can be so bad at times. Don't you just love his smile?

 This one from deviantART is heart tugging.

Thorin Thursday #6

I do not know where these originally came from but I found them on Facebook. These are extras and behind the scenes photos from The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.

First one I love. Thorin's head and Richard's body or at least him arms. I am trying to figure out if Richard is listening intently or is in Thorin mode and peeved that he is being interrupted from his letter reading. And yes I am leaving this one big. GORGEOUS!!!

In this one there is some Thorin arm padding. Or are they just trying to keep Richard's muscles bound?

And now a bit more comfortable photo of Richard and Sir Ian.

Thorin Thursday #5 - Barrellng Throught the Desolation of Smaug

  In time for Thorin Thursday, HitFix released their interview with Richard about the, what if not already, infamous barrel scenes. In the interview Richard says that he has aged ten years because having the prosthetics put on and taken off everyday.

  as for the barrels, Richard says "Being in those bloody barrels, it was like being in a funfair for three days". It was also frustrating getting water dumped on them all the time but yet at the same time, fun. "Like being a child on a rollercoaster that you just didn't get off all day".

  Richard also says that they were really desperate for the loo but were not allowed out of the barrels. So they decided to try and figure out who went in their wetsuit and who did not. Richard said he didn't for the sake of the wardrobe.

  Their bladders must have ready to burst if they held it in all day. Suffer for art.

Thorin Thursday #4

Having a nice and peaceful Thorin Thursday and I hope you are having the same. Have a nice gif of Thorin banging an hammer and wish he was banging something else. Actually, I think Lady0akenshield is the one who would be really thinking that because Thorin is second in line and Guy is first in line and in my heart.Bad boy theory applies to him. Anyway, like I said I have a nice Thorin gif of him banging with a hammer. Handsome dwarf.

Thorin Thursday #3

I do not know who made this majestically beautiful and ethereal gif of Thorin because I found it on Tumblr a few minutes ago and wanted to share it with you. I fell in love with it myself first of all and then I thought that lady0kenshield would really fall in love with this one.

Last Day of Shooting The Hobbit

  From Sir Peter Jackson's Facebook page came the news that today is their last day of shooting. Sad time for us fans and actors but at least now they can hopefully relax before going on their own adventure.

"Our last day of shooting.

Ever since starting these blogs, there's been something I'd like to try one day ( as well as answering the other 19 questions I owe you!) - blogging throughout a shoot day in real time . Try to give you a feeling for what we deal with on an average day.

Today is not an "average" , given it is our last day of shooting but if I don't do it today ; I never will..."

Thorin Thursday #2

  I was just reminded by FedoraLady at the armitage effect that today is Thorin Thursday. I say today, at this late hour, because I still have just under two hours remaining in the day, but for those of you where it is Friday already, please forgive me for the late post.

  I hope this makes up for it.
