What's the use if it doesn't turn you into a slobbering creature of the dark? Or does it? |
|
| |
As far as I'm aware, most merchandising has no inherent "use", what-so-ever. |
|
| |
However, some one must've come up with these halfbaked gems that the punters seem eager to part their cash for..who wouldn't rush out and purchase the official LOTR Balrog BBQ set? (can't post this one as it's not one of mine, alas) |
|
| |
What better place for all those daft merchandising ideas than here! (Can we have a Merchandising section under products please?) |
|
| |
However, in answer to your question mcfrank, if you happened to be a Lord of Darkness, then perhaps it would. |
|
| |
The Dune movie Craft and Color book included a recipe for "no-bake spice cookies". (Peanut-butter and cinnamon, IIRC.) |
|
| |
Clearly, a One Ring set made of Fimo, or even Cheez Whiz, could be marketable. |
|
| |
(Slighty off topic)..... There is a shop in Norwich, near the colmans mustard shop which has for as long as I can remember sold a sweet flakey wafer thingie, wrapped in vine leaves called "Lembas" ...........Should we tell Tolkien estates? |
|

How about some kind of court injuction barring the release of the upcoming Lord of the Rings live action movie on the grounds that the hobbits are not played by dwarves/midgets/little people? This is a clear case of discrimination. It is a little person actor's right and destiny to play these parts. This is a sad time for little actors, as even George Lucas prefers computer generating small non human characters rather that putting a costume on a midget. Willow himself, the great Warwick Davis has been reduced to making endless Leprechan Sequels (see: Leprechan in the Hood: The Quickening). Won't someone think of the midgets? |
|
| |
Gollum plush doll. Just a thought. |
|
| |
Actually, yakub, I believe hobbits are supposed to be shorter than dwarves by a foot. Still, I wonder whose playing Gimli. And there is nothing wrong with the Leprechaun sequels. |
|
| |
Speaking of midgets - I know one of them from the Time Bandits and he's not a midget anymore. |
|
| |
//Still, I wonder whose playing Gimli// |
|

John Rhys Davies: was Professor in Sliders, Sola in Indiana Jones Series. Has been in much other stuff, but those are the two I remember most. |
|
| |
I just realized that John was the mentat in the Dune 2000 video game. I didn't put two and two together. |
|
| |
There's a catalog that sells historical and filmographical reproductions. The Ring is in there. Not DIY, but I wouldn't want to DIM. |
|
| |
Viz magazine (not that I regularly buy
Viz) just did something along these
lines - "One Ring To Rule Them All, One
Ring To Bind Them - Now it only takes
one ring to own them all. Telephone
Hotline Orders on 01 811 8055". |
|
| |
Now now [hippo]. You and I both know you've given the number for "Going Live" and not the Ring hotline. |
|
| |
"Still, I wonder whose playing Gimli" --[Nick_n_uit] |
|
| |
That'd be John Rhys-Davies, who was actually the tallest actor in the whole film IIRC. |
