Now now. Let's play nice all the way.

Can you please point me to the post you quoted me about the ML and GTG PFs? I have no idea where that came from, not denying I said it but would like to read the context. Thread and page number would do, unless there is a search feature I don't know about.

EDIT: Finally found it, of course the Howe Smaug thread in which I was really cranky. Taken a but out of context because the statement was comparative, but yeah I was a jerk there Thanks for cherry picking my posts to paint me in a bad light though.

Wow! I go away on vacation [or was I running away in fear ] and I miss all this excitement...including Richard Simmons Sorry about the bad light thing....just trying to make a point about living in glass houses....

Let's take this one step at a time. You expect me to define feminine in words. All I can do is provide examples but this gets us very close to all sorts of issues with gender perceptions that make people uncomfortable. But since "feminine" is a gender issue, not sex, we have no choice.

1) I think it is considered feminine for a boy to run with his arms and legs in certain positions - usually involving too much flailing. Too much wrist movement is what makes it into the movies. Its basically joint looseness.

2) There is a feminine way to smoke a cigarette, you should know what I mean.

3) There is a feminine way to stand, I'm thinking hands on the hips, wrists touching pelvis even more so.

4) Skipping I imagine is considered feminine by many, for a boy that is. I know parents that won't let their sons wear red - too close to pink. They'd die if they saw them in full on skip.

This is all culturally mediated so it may differ from region to region (but I doubt it).

If you saw a guy in the bar doing the river dance, you know where the upper body doesn't move and they kick their hands by swinging their legs up and out - well I doubt that plays well in many parts of the USA college scene. Note that this kicking the leg up and out is sort of what we are talking about here.

Sauron is in the very early stages of a squatting posture with that left leg positioned that way, and a full squat is one step away from a stretch and a squatting stretch is one step away from a ballet move (which some consider feminine).

I still really like the art of course, but Woodsy wants details.

As for wanting details, I did say that but it was in the context of my idea of constructive criticism. Commenting on an aspect of an item without stating why you believe it , or what can be done to improve it is criticism without the constructive IMO....that's all I'm saying. Fuzzy's sig is a perfect example of this. He, and many other Marvel fans were not happy with the hair on the Hulk maquette, but instead of just complaining about it he took the effort to photoshop the image to show how it could be improved upon....and personally I agree with him and others in thinking the photoshopped version is an improvement.

As for the Sauron pose, I will never agree with you on this one as it is something I just do not see myself. That said, you have the right to believe whatever you want concerning this , or any other statue. All I know for sure is SS is going to produce this PF, and I will be very happy if they go with Jerry's pose. And if SS chooses to alter the pose somewhat, I will still be very happy as long as it looks good.

Sorry, my memory isn't so great....but has there been any mention whether or not we will get some kind of sneak peek or update at SDCC?

 

[The Josh]

Not yet. I wouldn't be shocked but if we do I'd expect a video of it sometime soon.

Cool!
I'll be on the look-out for anything.
Thanks buddy.

 

[The Josh]

No problem. I check the Prod Blog all the time checking to see if something LOTR shows up.

Nice!! Color me jealous.

troll

That word's been thrown around alot lately. Troll is someone i'd describe as an internet message board user who makes personal attacks and very personal comments when they disagree with someone or who wants to make a point.
And if anyone thinks i'm talking about them they clearly have a guilty conscience, or know full well what they do and simply enjoy it, something which the internet is unfortunately riddled with.

Couple of posts deleted, lets keep this topic on track folk please rather than reverting back to the arguing of 5/6 pages ago.

JV has had a sneak peek? Does this mean there is a prototype this very moment?

If so, then we might see something at SDCC.

 

[Adoptedscot]

Okay, I am saying this for this for the last time, any insults/snyde comments or abrasive posts directed towards each other, or even just posting to cause trouble will receive infractions.
If certain individuals (any individuals) cannot control themselves when posting, their posts will be deleted and infractions given.

Seriously, keep any personal issues/ arguments to yourselves and pm's, or just use the ignore function. The only thing arguing and insulting each other in threads on the forum does is ruin this place for others when we are trying to enjoy this section and get updates on pieces.
So please just drop it. If you see a post that is insulting to another member, report it and move along.

This is the LOTR section people, we never have problems in the LOTR section.

Thank you.
