Ah, dear, dear Tex,
Yes, he is an unrepeatable vision, is he not?
I really don’t see him appearing as androgynous as others might. There’s that strong, muscular neck to account for! :o) But I do see him as a picture of idealized manhood so often depicted by the sculptors and painters among us, especially among the classical artists, a balance of beauty and strength.
I think when people say adrogynous, they don't mean "effeminate," but that he has qualities that they associate with both male and female beauty. I think this is accurate for film-Frodo, especially when EW was still a teenager

The DVD play and capture program that I use is called PowerDVD by Cyberlink (I think the web address is www.gocyberlink.com but you can also do a google search and it comes up.) The neet thing about this is that it is VERY easy to use if you have a dvd drive in your machine. And they let you download it free to use for a month to try it out. You can do a lot of screen captures of Frodo in a month. :-)
I was astonished to see that someone else had noticed the resemblance and I LOVE what you said describing his child/man beauty. Sets up an interesting conflict of instinct. Sometimes I don't know wether I want to snog him or feed him.

HA! *LOL*
Why not both? He's a hobbit -- and a man ("the way to a man's [hobbit's] heart is through his stomach", as folk have said...).
P.S. Thanks for that info. on another way to make screencaptures. I know Texas-hobbit and others would definitely be interested in a program that can be downloaded free. Maybe ours was downloaded, too? I am terrible at the technical stuff, so I really don't know.
Re: Frodo as DavidtaerieNovember 7 2005, 19:46:35 UTC
Yeah, I am really bad at technical stuff too. That is why I was so glad to find an easy program. Also explains why I have no idea how to share my screen captures. I have a huge collection of Frodo pics on my hard drive. Both grabbed from online sources and captured by myself. I am so glad my husband doesn't mind my hogging of computer resources. (He could probably do without the all Frodo all the time screensaver and desktop pics ;-)

I am able to show my caps the same way I show any of my images, which is by posting them at a free photo-hosting site. I use Photobucket. One merely needs to register (remembering to tick off everything correctly, such as specifying that the album is to be "public" and thus viewable by casual observers without passwords).
Once I get a goodly pile of caps in my Photobucket album for screencaps, I'll post the link to it, like I do to my "Frodo Art Travesties" manips. If you have ever opened that album (link is on left border of the journal page), all you are doing is opening a Photobucket album. You could do that with your own screencaptures -- put them in an album and then make the link available. I think a Photobucket album can be looked at by any browser, unless the owner locks it.

Thanks for pointing me to this. This was GREAT! Did you do all these? What a great job! I do a bit of this sort of thing myself and I know how hard it is. What program do you use? And last question is the most important. Where can I see the rest of the cropped nude Frodo picture? LOL! I didn't know about photobucket! I will check this out.. Thanks!
Re: Frodo as David OMG!!mechtildNovember 7 2005, 21:49:06 UTC
Well, I do keep a link to it under "links" on the left side of my opening journal page along with one to my fic, but you have to scroll down to see it, I'll admit. Otherwise there's a link on my "User's Info." page, but who looks at that? you may well ask
