A reminder for any RA fans planning to order his Strike Back series.  Be certain it is this DVD, because he appears for only a few minutes in the second series.

Richard Armitage Becomes Thorin Oakenshield + Happy Birthday Tolkien

Just received this treat from maraiad and I'm ready to enlist. It looks like a Navy dress uniform. Believe he's standing in front of the National Gallery in WashDC. I've been there--grand architecture filled with exquisite works of art



RA fan maraiad has been designing her vision of military eye candy..

John Porter Mabelized..similar to carmelized--extra yum added..

RA German fan captures essence of Thorin in Trailer #2:
****
Anyone currently watching the presidential campaigns in the US, should see clearly that the choice is between those who prefer the archaic socialist attitude of the population works for the collective good of the state. OR the one that RA exemplified in his career - Yes, you the individual did "build that" with your own blood, sweat, tears and hard work. Excellent fanvid demonstrating how RA built a successful career..


Here's one of the early Guy of Gisborne fanvids that received much attention, among many, from certain quarters at that time. That's because one of the main characters, in the updated thousand year old legend Robin Hood, was garnering more enthusiasm from the audience than the classic hero of the piece.  Many viewers with a traditional sense of values didn't seem to understand how an evil henchman could suddenly become the character driving the storyline.  Perhaps it's necessary to actually see the BBC's Robin Hood to understand that phenomenon..

THE kiss is still in demand as John Thornton continues to conquer the world -- one woman at a time...
Comment by Cleo prompted posting of following painting.  She says John and Margaret's *Kiss* rivals that of famous painting by Gustav Klimt, 1907/08..
As if *the kiss* wasn't hot enough..Whew!...did you ever wonder if Tolkien dwarves wear undies under their heavy looking capes,etc? ;D Evidently they do---whispering *shhhhh...take a peek at Thorin's middle earth not-so-briefs:)* and  well-toned legs...no doubt the result of running through burning forests and numerous swordfights.
