Scrolling Detail Thingie of the Film - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I second that! Thanks davem for finding and Lal for posting this!

I think my favourite scene with the Dwarves is when they're walking up a mountain, but it's still horribly hollywooded by the moon.

In the scene where Bilbo is creeping next to a large pot, what is the creature in the background? Is that one of the trolls? I know that the LOTR-movie trolls looked like that and all, but I imagined Tom, Bert, and Bill to look more intelligent and less grotesque (well they could do more than grunt... they even had conversations!). And what's a barrel to do with a Troll's pockets, anyways?

Managed to grab the scroll image as a still via Firefox. Tried to upload the full image as a still in high(ish) definition. You might have to click the full screen option (far right of the four bottom buttons) to make it appear http://zoom.it/30zW Should also be viewable for those who can't view Flash images which I think the EW site uses.

whether they should roast them slowly, or mince them fine and boil them, or just sit on them one by one and squash them into jelly

I would say that in order to consider the "mince and boil" option, a large cauldron is a reasonable possibility. Made sense to me.

Dwarves in barrels... open barrels, tis true, but at least, barrels. Thank God PJ didn't change THAT.

Overall I liked the pictures... real wolves; Elrond studying the scroll (nice!); Gollum's lake; Mirkwood. What Bridge is that? Gorgeous shot. Reminds me of something from pre-Moria-- was it in the background of some shot before Moria? Leading up to the Doors, maybe?

In the first picture there's a G rune on the door!!! Awesome!!!

...one more thought on the short-bearded dwarves... is it possible they did not shave, but are simply young? That their beards have just started growing? And might that explain also some of the otherwise untenable, er, pursuits that have some of us frowning so? Maybe the rest of the dwarves forgive Kili his crush on Tauriel just because he's still, essentially, a teenager. A young twitling in armor.

I love Bilbo in the tree surrounded by wargs...yes actually looking wolvey, and not hybrid hyena things

It does appear though in that first image Gandalf is holding Glamdring...which would be a very amusing plot hole. But it might just be a later, post-Troll horde image of Gandalf stuck in front of Bag End.
