"Porthos dreams of being a bear, and you want to shatter those dreams by saying he’s just a dog? What a horrible candle-snuffing word. That’s like saying, “He can’t climb that mountain, he’s just a man”, or “That’s not a diamond, it’s just a rock.” Just."

LOTR much?

Yesterday

lyxzen and I found something rather - curious at our bookstore downtown. It's a fantasy novel called Elfen Zauber (Elf magic) and while that title didn't necessarily made us go WTF the cover certainly did:

Okay. Did they really believe they could get away with that?

For comparison: The real deal.

Just...*speechless*

Indeed it is. Like I said above my guess is they're trying to hide the book is rubbish and attract Leggyyyyy fangirls....

Yeah - I was one of them myself in the very beginning, before I realised how many batshit crazy girls there are, and that pretty much scared me away from him. Besides the fact that I realised that while he's pretty to look at, Orlando hasn't really done a lot of good acting. I liked him in LotR, since he didn't say much, and word has it he's good in Elizabethtown, but... that's pretty much it. I also discovered Hobbits;)

*lol* Exactly - but yeah, I thought he was pretty good in Elizabethtown.

I must admit I used to be a Leggyfangirl, too - for about three months. Then ROTK came out, and Merry & Pip finally stole my heart :p

I haven't seen Elizabethtown, so I'll take your word for it:)

Hang on, I have The Calcium Boy laying around on my computer... he's got that really cute post-LotR look, with short hair and just a hint of curls, maing him look really young - I think I'll watch that one this weekend:) He did it before the big hurrah started, just after LotR and either right after or right before Black Hawk Down, I think. Anyway, I never hear these crazy chix talk about it, so I can be all superior and "what do you mean, haven't seen it? I thought you were a Orli fangirl? *tuts*" :D
