Data Graham posted:He'll always been the Rankin-Bass frog-monster to me I always thought that they got the voice on that perfect. Much better than the Bakshi LotR Gollum. That's how I heard his voice re-reading the books. But Bakshi's Gollum matched the description in the books better. The first time I saw the frog thing, I was "Noooo....". Being a true goonlet I immediately went looking for descriptions in all the books. After it was over, natch.

These are versions of the books I have, all 4, and I hate them so much. Even more so once I found better Tolkien art.

I always liked this crazy version of Gollum (e: they call him Go-loom though lol) From this 1966 adaptation of the Hobbit. It's only 12 minutes so they take some liberties with characters and plot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRqbdpbDwVo Son of Thunderbeast has a new favorite as of 15:46 on Aug 24, 2020 |

At no point in The Hobbit does Tolkien specify that hobbits look like small humans. The only description he gives of Bilbo is that he's three feet tall, has curly hair, large feet and pointed ears. Early depictions vary widely.

Didn't some early copy editor change all the elves to elf, causing some similar confusion?

I guess that's Rand? There are no dragons in Wheel of Time though. Well there are, but not the flying lizard kind. They were making a TV show too, before the plague.

The only description he gives of Bilbo is that he's three feet tall, has curly hair, large feet and pointed ears. he says that there are people today who are descended from hobbits. and hobbits are described as holding reins, weapons, rings, and tools, so this depiction is missing hands and pockets. it does remind me that people who i trust to have exhaustively checked have claimed that Tolkien never mentions the skin color of elves.

That's a Draghkar quote:In their service to the Shadow, the Dreadlords corrupted humans to create some of the Shadowspawn and the Draghkar are among the products of this corruption. Their appearance is similar to a large man with bat-like wings, whose skin is too pale and whose eyes are too large. On foot, they typically wear their wings as a cloak

Before Lord of the Rings was written, when Gollum was retconned into having once been a hobbit, Gollum was sometimes illustrated as very big.  Or sometimes as Gargamel

How much could an ATM even have? Is it worth leaving a bit rear end piece of machinery behind? Probably stole that too, but seems like you could maybe sell it for more?

SUV? Sunroof? That's a van with a hole in the top. While typically used to carry heavy loads, they're not usually loaded so... enthusiastically, including the pushing. Also, pretty sure ATMs have had gyroscopes that ruin the bills if they're treated too roughly, so the robbers got away with a bunch of soggy, colourful paper.

I guess they stole that too and cut the hole to load the atm faster? This is a lot of criming and people involved for not that much money.

A machine that size usually sells used for like 60k. You might get 20k assuming you can find someone to buy it. You also need a low boy or similar trailer to transport it since they move slow as hell. The atm is going to have anywhere between 5k and 200k in it depending on the site and when it was last serviced.
