Gandalf looks like a smelly old man who gets drunk alot and dosen't wash alot. Or at least that's what he looks like on the comericails on Space(its a TV channel). And in !ndiogo there's a 3 life sized stand up thingee-s of Gandalf(1) and the Hobbits(2) and then there's the annoying posters that say ; "See the movie, read the book". And where I live the movie dosen't come out until December 19 2001!! (My boyfriend's taking me to see it :cool: :p ;) :) )

I'm done for now
(they'll be more later I promise)

I, also, am not particularly thrilled with the way Gandalf looks in the trailers.:(

I agree. I think Gandalf looks like some crazy homeless guy who is always talking to himself

I think you guys have'nt seen him in the light, he looks fine in the light, and anyway there are several actors in LOTR who are'nt as you'd think them to look and you harp on poor Gandalf. I think we should talk about ALL the cheracters and get a good debate going.

I agree! Gandalf looks great compared to Liv Tyler! I'm not saying she's ugly, but fairest child of the elves?

Anyway, most people aside from the main characters DO see Gandalf as a crazy old medling man.

I'm gonna whine about coles now, they have all these posters and junk and they want to much for unfinished tales and the silmarillion. Gandals DOES look like a homeless guy who mutters and drinks to much and as i said before dosen't wash often! i've seen him several times in the LIGHT and he stills looks like a drunk homeless dude. My boyfriend does agree that he looks like a crazy drunk.....

I'll say it again. Arwen, at least in this pic (http://www.decipher.com/lordoftherings/cardlists/fellowship/large/30arwendaughterofelrond.html) from Decipher's TCG, looks like either an anemic pinhead or a rubber doll.

All the elves look incredibly plain, I think. Not how they should look at all.

Gandalf looks like a drunk sometimes too... In a few of thosepics he looks really bad.

That pic IS sad.

I think Legolas looks the part though.

Practicly all the male characters have long hair, except for Frodo & co .in my mind they had short hair not long hair around their shoulders........

I think tolkien mentions Boromir with hair to his shoulders

I got the biggest kick out of that picture. My gosh what did they do to her head?!:eek: That is a FREAKY picture, wooooo.
Does Gandalf get drunk in the Movie? There are ALOT of Chracters in LOTR who need makeovers(Merry,Elrond,and Boromir are the ones that come to mind)I think that Arwen in CERTAIN pictures looks ok but that one picture. Dang.

The pic looks fine too me.
She isn't all that pritty but, hey, they could do worse.

hehe just had a funny thought. what if they had used Marilin Monro, with the bright red lipstick, the puffy blond hair-do, and that white billowy dress (you know, the one in that wel known pic of her standing over a street grill thingy)."If you want him come and clame him!" :the nazguls roll their eyes, push her out of the way, and take Frodo: :rolleyes:
i think i need a off switch for my imagination

(some times i will think of something funny and then see it in my head, i will burst out laughing and every one in the room will wounder if im ok)
