Then, as if they knew that everyone was freaking out about Nori's hair, they released the very traditional-looking Oin and Gloin (Gimli's father).
Fili and Kili were the third set released, presumably taking advantage of diehard-fan guard-letting-down over Oin and Gloin.
So Bombur, Bofur and Bifur swing back a bit more towards traditional, yet still kind of wacky.
At this point, though, I don't think most people are expecting Balin and Dwalin to be too outre. And Richard Dwarfitrage (hat-tip) is just expected to be fairly hot. (Which amongst the diehards is cause for its own kind of controversy.)
I don't know, but I think I'm the only one wondering how Gillian Anderson is going to manage both the "Moby Dick" miniseries and the "Great Expectations" miniseries. :-) The former must be still in the very early stages.
Am I going to care about this? I can't tell if I care about this.
I didn't think I was going to care about Captain America (he has always kind of bored me), but I have been loving everything I've seen of it so far. For my money, Evans seems to be giving a performance that will make me actually like Cap (earnest + vulnerable + courageous), which was the biggest challenge, because in the comics, he always came across to me as such a stick.
Mostly, though, it was watching Thor that tipped me over into "omg I believe in this whole Avengers project I want to see them all together right now". I always liked RDJ's Tony Stark, and Thor was a hoot, and now I *am* excited to see Cap just because I know he's another piece of the puzzle adding up to what's going to be on screen together next year

I'm with you on the wolf thing. When I first read the description of the link, I assumed it was a werewolf movie and got excited. Then I discovered it was supposed to be actual wolves and kind of lost interest.
Also, the link describes it as a "territorial rogue wolf pack". Umm, doesn't the latter descriptor cancel out the former? If you're a rogue, you don't have much use for the concept of territory--not to mention rogues tend to not travel in packs, that's why they're called rogues.
(Granted the awesome killer crocodile flick Rogue is a about a very territorial giant crocodile, but I'll grant that exception because A) that movie rocks and B) it's just one crocodile, therefore it counts as rogue)
Yeah, that kind of irked me as well. It just strikes me as a story description that's trying to up the drama factor by loading on all these terms that sound SCARY

Sad that the Sookie books are ending. What will I read at the beach now?

The first set were Nori, Ori and Dori, featuring arguably the most cracktastic hair yet.
Then, as if they knew that everyone was freaking out about Nori's hair, they released the very traditional-looking Oin and Gloin (Gimli's father).
Fili and Kili were the third set released, presumably taking advantage of diehard-fan guard-letting-down over Oin and Gloin.

"WB buys Viking epic starring Alexander Skarsgard." Yes. Please. Also I have the urge to go listen to The Immigrant Song now.
"Scott Speedman is probably not in this." Hehehe.
