Hobbit Movie Spam: Places of Middle Earth

Just reveling in the beauty Alan Lee, John Howe, and the WETA crew brought us to roll around in.

I just read a book in which "ninjas don't use handrails". I suppose elves must be like ninjas, heh.

Yeah--it's the walking on snow thing. And no tossed candy wrappers to slip on.

Ohhhhhhhh....so beautiful. :)

[lavendertook]

it is. The conceptual art is worth the price of admission.

Did you go see it yet? It really is nice on an IMAX.

[lanning]

No, I haven't had a chance to go. I'm so looking forward to it! :)

[lavendertook]

*hugs* I hope you get to go soon.

Lovely pics! I knew the places would not disappoint, and they did not, especially the beloved Shire. Thanks for sharing these!

It's why this is a movie I had to catch on the big screen a few times, to live in these places we're always wandering in.

I love seeing the stills. The images of Bag End always look as I'd pictured from the books. A neat, well-appointed manor home, set in a hill. Other than the Gollum/Bilbo scene, I think the entire opening sequence with Bilbo running to join the group was my fav pt of the movie.

*heartily agrees*

(Also -- hi! Didn't I meet you at Holiday Wishes this year?)

I was supposed to have met you at Dec's moot I think but I couldn't make it.

Yes, the beginning in Bag End and Shire, with the prologue in Dale and Erebor, the Riddle Scene, plus the Eagle ride to the Carrock sunrise were the best entire segments and entirely rocked.

These make me so happy.

Me too. I'm grateful to walk in these places on the big screen. The conceptual art and the music is the best part--we can fix the story telling on our own. (-:

Lovely, thank you!

I loved seeing more of Bag End in this movie, and more of Rivendell too. I think the only disappointment I had was Radagast's house. I pictured it so differently. But that's a small thing.

I didn't really have a picture for Radagast's house in my mind, but I liked what they gave us. Could have been prettier and grander, but it was nicely organic, and I respect that choice.
