I wish I understood why this is funny.

Massive static cling issues in Middle Earth?

Well, that's funny. Especially if you think that Galadriel is raging about her laundry.

LOL

*claps*

Galaundriel?

Gandalf used the last bottle of bleach in Middle Earth to change his robes from gray to white, that asshole.

Bottom pic is Galadriel warning Frodo how she will be corrupted if he gives her the Ring. It has been literally decades since I've read The Hobbit and I never saw the latest movies, so I can't recall a female elf called Tauriel at all.

...that said, every time I have seen the background pic in a secret lately, I have pretty much the same reaction as OP.

She's an original character added to the movies because The Hobbit is such a sausage-fest. I was skeptical at first, but after seeing the movie, I like her.

She's an original character, but don't fret about not remembering her. My mom loves Tolkien and the only way she figured Tauriel was made for the film and not from something like the Silmarillion was that her name started with a consonant and "most of Tolkien's female characters start with a vowel - well, except for Galadriel."

(I'm not sure how right she is on that, but I thought it was funny.)

Suddenly, I'm feeling some love for Tolkien.

Tauriel is an OC insert, and a painful one at that.

I think I'd see it more if she had the glowing eyes too.

that whole scene with Galadriel cracks me up to the point that I have to skip over it when I watch the movie. It's awful!

To be fair, some of the guys have equally flowy hair waving in the wind and all. Pisses me off, especially with the elves. How the fuck are those hairstyles practical in a fight? Some of these days, they're gonna knot it into their bowstrings by accident!

OW.

Word! Like, seriously?? They must have complete bodily awareness and control right down to the ends of their braids because I seriously cannot figure out how we've yet to see one of them accidentally chomp down on a clump of hair mid-fight, or get blinded by one, or get caught one in a tree.

My hair goes past my hips. I'm not even athletic, let alone a warrior, and it still sometimes gets caught in things or gets in the way!

Somewhere Evangeline Lilly got into all the trouble the wig gave her filming and mentioned that she managed to shoot one of the elf ear-tips off. O.o

They must have complete bodily awareness and control right down to the ends of their braids

Well, they're Elves. They probably have that.

That's how you get an Elf king: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rat_king_%28folklore%29

So.

Thranduil is actually an entity consisting of several elves, knotted together at the head?

That would explain his face in the movie. Giant serpents of the north my ass.

In the Silm, Glorfindel of Gondolin was pulled off a cliff by his hair iirc. You'd think more elves might remember that, being immortal. >_>

Haha I'm kind of digging it. These two should start a club. How to take control of your hair and use it to vanquish your foes.
