Submit your Halloween pumpkin pics to /r/horror's carving competition!

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

That was my thought too when seeing the trailer. One of the only faults I had with LotR was the clownification of Gimli, and dwarves in general. Now they've multiplied that by a metric shit ton.

[–]Apollonius_Cone -1 points0 points ago

If you look at the dwarves in Snow White and the Huntsman, they got the dwarves right. Ian McShane and Bob Hoskins in particular. Jackson got the Elves wrong too. This is a Disney-fication. This is literature and Jackson has the gaul to add new characters?

The make up looks like it was done for the Nutty Professor. The poster looks like a bad Disney movie in the making. The dwarf suits, just look like horrible fat suits, and the bald dwarves look...terrible.

I'm a huge Hobbit/LoTR guy and loved the first three movies. These shots are really unfortunate looking.

[–]brianfit 1 point2 points ago

The Hobbit used humor as a device, and I'd fully expect the film to reflect that. Jackson had a deft hand at humor in LOTR, I trust him with 13 jesters far more than I trusted Lucas with one.

[–]Glamdering[S] 0 points1 point ago

Humor, perhaps. But, is that really any excuse for dreadful special effects and making the whole thing corny? Gimili in the LoTR was beautifully done. He looked credible. These look like flights of sloppy fantasy and poorly done special effects - all without any real reason for it.

The thing that made the LoTR so good (and more recently GoT) is that it took a realistic approach to high fantasy and created a high fantasy world, that was credible and believable. Not the type of stupid slop we usually see and which populates Scifi channel-esq made for TV specials.

Check out the production videos. He's differentiating the Dwarves heavily, and they're ranging from slapstick cartoon (Bombur) to foibled and fallible (Fili and Kili) all the way up to heroic (Gloin and Thorin). You can't call "Poorly done special effects" in the film on the basis of one publicity still.

[–]Glamdering[S] 0 points1 point ago

Not just this still. All of the visuals of them, including the trailer. The latest promotional shots look like CG generated action figures for a video game. Most (not all) look horribly fake. It's like low grade artificial aging special effects in movies.
