He just doesn't look very Hobbit-like to me. Where's the abdominal fat? And what's with the "Dwarf-pattern baldness" in the first pic?

Tuor in Gondolin has been trapped in the Barrow!

Seems not stout and aged enough for a middle-aged petit bourgois
gentlehobbit.

But I see PJ probably got ahold of a picture of the postcard that inspired
JRRT about Galdalf.

Don't remember Elijah Wood having a lot of that in the LOTR films... the feet look insanely big

True. At least the inconsistency is consistent.

narfforc has been trapped in the Barrow!
I've just read in Empire magazine that Jackson will be filming Gandalf AND Elrond scouting the dungeons of Dol Guldur......I always thought it was Gandalf alone who did this.....can anyone shed any light on where he got that from. Gandalf finds Thrain in the dungeons and is given the map and key....the first time Elrond sees this map is when they stay at Rivendell so Elrond can't have been on that trip....the only thing I can think of is maybe prior to the White Council attack?

Gandalf went to Dol Guldur alone. But agent Elrond has to have some important role in the movies!
