Legolas is a badass mother****.

At least, according to this guy [link|http://www.istad.org/tolkien/pilinn.html|here.]

Apparently, he's quite impressed by the portrayal of Legolas's archery skills. So am I, after reading this.

having a brotherinlaw who uses bows to hunt moose

I also was impressed at how real it looked. It aint easy pulling a 60 lb bow and hitting anything with it. Allen gets his moose every year but for me, I would have to chase it down and stab it to death with an arrow. Very nice disection of archery.
thanx,

Seen modern bows?

Check this out from Martin Archery - 300 fps release speed:

One of this summer's projects is to learn some archery from a bowhunting co-worker.

Good way to get a sore back - 30 practice draws.

One of the great things about the movie

One of the great things about the two movies so far has been the detail put into the props to make them realistic. Much of the gear seen in the movies is real, or cast from real props. A lot of work went into making the gear both as true to Tolkien and as real as possible

This is one of those subtle things where a lot of movies cut corners. This is because few people can actually point to this sort of stuff and tell what is totally faked, but it ends up adding the air of unrealness about the movie.

So many things were done well in that movie...

The complaints seem silly after a while.

Is it enough to love
Is it enough to breathe
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed

Is it enough to die
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be Anything but Ordinary
Please
