Do Trolls rock 'n roll?
« on: 04 November 2013, 09:45:42 PM »
Well...hell they do. At least the one i saw this evening. And before you start thinking that i am definitely on my way to lala land read on. I have just watched Snowwhite and the huntsman. Quite an entertaining take on the original fairytale by the brothers Grimm. To my humble opinion it has some very good scenes and is shot in beautifull surroundings, i think in parts of Ireland and England.
However one creature i liked very much was the Troll. Would love to have one in miniature. 28mm scale that is.

A dancing troll?  A troll doing air-guitar?  Haven't seen the movie, so just curious.   :)

I would have thought they were more attuned to "rap" music - played on the skulls of their victims...

Leaving now...

I couldn't stand the main actress (the Twilight girl) but I thought the movie was very cinematic...a lot of great scenery and very well envisioned.  I'll have to pick up a copy sometime.  They didn't include the troll in the theater version!   :-I

This Deathfiend from Dark Art Studios seems a pretty close match (read direct copy):

Rob and Axiom - I now hate you two.  I have no need or use for these figures but want them  ;D

Legion - You may find http://www.atlasofwonders.com/2012/06/snow-white-huntsman-film-locations.html of interest  :)  If you do come over to see the locations first hand (via Hull is normal for the ferry) let me know and we will go for a drink...

The actress who played the daugther of the king was somewhat famliar but i did not recognize her as being 'the Twilight girl'. The role had much more in it i thought. The version that i watched was 122 minites but i am not sure if that is the extended version.

He knows if Trolls rock'n'roll.
