How Do the Hobbits Look So Small? (X)
Sorry, I’m not good at listening so feel free to correct me please.
Interviewer: I have heard that Viggo Mortensen in The Lord of the Rings was sleeping with his horse to get to know him. So I would like to ask all of you: did any of you sleep with your horses or do anything like that to get into the roles?

The first scene where we see you with all the Dwarves, it’s almost like watching a stag. Was that what it was like in real life? Was it a ruckus from the get go?
Someone…anyone. Please sketch this. Thorin peering in the window while the rest of the dwarves are parting looking like a sad puppy or something. THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN!
Please, somebody draw this!
OMGGGG MR. ARMITAGE. YOU… YOU PRECIOUS SOUL. <3 It’s okay, you’ll party hardy in Beorn’s hall in the second movie…. maybe….hopefully…. unless you get left out again. LOL.

Can anyone link me to this interview? I’ve seen a number of gifs from is and I want to watch it, but I don’t know what it’s from.
I believe this comes from here (the IGN ‘quizzing the dwarves’ segment); was just watching it the other day. ;D
(also, I would’ve just replied to your original post but the reply button has disappeared for me. What’s up with that, tumblr? you’re letting me down. /:)

TV Guide Magazine: Give us an algorithm for your show.
Horowitz and Kitsis: We don’t understand math. That’s why we became writers.
TV Guide Magazine: ABC promotes your Lost credits. Which past credit should they avoid touting at all costs?
Horowitz and Kitsis: Hot Tonight. It was a public access sketch-comedy show we did in Madison, Wisconsin. We thought we were funny. We write drama now.
TV Guide Magazine: Showrunner battles are all the rage these days. Pick a rival show, any show, to start a fight with.
Horowitz and Kitsis: 60 Minutes. We’ve watched your show. We’ve timed it. Without commercials, you’re only 43 minutes.
TV Guide Magazine: Let’s scare the network. Tell us an idea that didn’t make it out of the writers’ room.
Horowitz and Kitsis: We have a show with fairies, dwarves, talking crickets and dragons — we’re not sure they’re frightened of anything anymore.
TV Guide Magazine: Let’s say you could do a crossover episode with any TV show in history. Which show, and what would the episode be about?
Horowitz and Kitsis: The Charmings. And it would be Snow and Charming confronting Snow and Charming. Fighting to the death over who is really… Snow and Charming.
Talks about the Runaways guest starring.
I’ll put up a recap of AA21 soon. Just read the issue about ten minutes ago. Gotta unconfuse myself what just happened first.————————————-
MTV Geek: The Runaways have always been – sometimes literally – underground… How do they end up in a relatively public place like Avengers Academy?
Christos Gage: They actually come knocking. A reader pointed out to us that the Runaways’ Victor Mancha, who was created by Ultron, is – in a weird way – Hank Pym’s grandson (since Hank created Ultron)! So when the Runaways need help with something, Victor decides it’s time he met dear old Granddad. I’m guessing Hank’s reaction will be a bit like I feel when I hear Ozzy Osbourne playing in a supermarket… “I’m old!”
Geek: There’s some pretty close parallels between the two groups – both skirting the lines of villains and heroes… Can you talk about that a bit?
CG: You’re right, and I think that’s a huge reason the characters fit well together. None of them are Bucky or even Johnny Storm, who may have been reckless at times but was still always a hero. These are the weird kids who you could see either ending up in jail or founding Microsoft. They started behind the eight ball and they’re struggling just to stay afloat. And yet they’ve chosen very different paths, one group rejecting the adult world while the other trains to be a part of it. It’ll be interesting to see if any of them think the grass looks greener on the other side.
Geek: There’s also some pretty close parallels in the real world, as both titles sell consistently, are critically acclaimed, and seem to slowly gain more fans as they go on – they’re the slow burns. Did that make the two teams natural fits?
CG: Beats me. I hope so. You look at something like WALKING DEAD, which started out selling just a few thousand copies and now outsells most major titles. That book gained readers by word of mouth, people telling each other how good it was, leading to sales growing steadily over time. As hard as it is in this market, I’d love for AVENGERS ACADEMY to follow that example. I’d also be happy for it to sell at its current level for a hundred more issues. Anything that lets me keep writing the stories!
Geek: Do you have a favorite Runaway to write? You’re not allowed to answer “Molly.”
CG: Old Lace. Wait, isn’t she dead…?
Geek: Is there a pairing of Runaway/Avengers Academy characters you were surprised worked so well together? You’re not allowed to answer, “Molly and everybody,” by the way. (Okay, fine, you are)
CG: I haven’t written the issue yet, but just in planning the cover, I was amazed at the parallels between them. Karolina and Julie Power…Striker and Victor…and Molly and Mettle. We were thrilled to get former RUNAWAYS cover artist David Lafuente to adorn these issues, and his cover for #27 just has me salivating to write the story!
Geek: Relatively speaking, the Runaways have been kept off the board, though they’ve been popping up more and more often… Other than working as an external force, are we going to see some growth for them, too?
CG: Hopefully, but I’m also not going to suddenly make them vampire hunters or whatever. I like the Runaways for the same reason everyone else does, and while I hope their experiences with Avengers Academy will contribute to their growth as characters, I’m not gonna fix what isn’t broken.
Geek: Okay, what about villains? Which side of things should we be looking to, to see who they’ll be facing?
CG: They may find enough opposition in each other. Or maybe something so wild and out of control all of them together still aren’t a match for it!
Geek: Lastly, give your conservative estimate on how definitely this will lead to a new Runaways ongoing series – 100% definitely, or just totally definitely?
CG: Anyone who wants a Runaways ongoing should make sure to buy a thousand copies of these issues. It can’t hurt.

Once Upon a Time‘s Emma Swan may not have an enchanted backstory to explore, but this Sunday’s episode of ABC’s hit freshman series nonetheless will shed light on the bail bondsperson’s past by way of a young girl who once rode to a lavish ball in a pumpkin. Or, more accurately, through the story told about Cinderella’s Storybrooke counterpart, an pregnant lass named Ashley.
“Ashley-slash-Cinderella (played by Falling Skies‘ Jessy Schram) is definitely a character that Emma relates to,” Once star Jennifer Morrison shares in the video Q&A below. As such, as Ashley’s story unfolds, “I put myself on the line in a way I wouldn’t for most people,” Morrison says.
Other topics covered in the video below:
* Is Mary Margaret now an ally in Henry and Emma’s “Operation Cobra”? “She’s not necessarily ‘hands on’ about it,” Morrison says of her TV “mom.” “She’s more of a consultant.”
* When will Emma buy into Henry’s fantastical story wholesale?
* Will anyone from Emma’s past come looking for her? (Like, is she getting texts from pals in Boston?)
* The show’s winter finale, set to air Dec. 11, is “almost like a season finale, there is so much going on,” the actress teases.
* Is the Storybrooke Sheriff really the Hunstman of fairy tale lore?
Jennifer Morrison, welcome to being a fan, where you are tortured every week with wanting more.
