Nothing I say could be adequate to respond to the genius and beauty of THIS. I’ll just leave you with one tantalizing quote:
We used over 500 Gummy Bears as orcs and Uruk-Hai. The Elves, Dwarves and Men were represented by sour patch kids.
I love the human race. Deeply.
Here’s the link. I can’t stop looking at all of those photos.
Thanks, Faustus, for the link.
Brilliant. Genius.
Now I want him to do an entire series.
Like:
Gummy Bear Star Wars
Gummy Bear Raiders of the Lost Ark
and maybe Gummy Bear Gone With The Wind.
And then, they could do small films:
Gummy Bear My Beautiful Laundrette
Gummy Bear Kramer Vs. Kramer
Gummy Bear My Dinner With Andre
This is the best idea I’ve ever had.
That is one of the finest blogs posts of all time.
Isn’t it amazing?? The Starburst stairs … I mean, I’m just blown away.
Apparently a lot of humorless Tolkien asswipes showed up and told him where he got some details wrong.
Honest to God, what the hell is the matter with people??
I know, the goobers.
Or raisinettes…
Anyhow, this comment at Faustus’ made me cry laughing:
“I’m with you, my dear. I want to kill that man’s girlfriend, convert him to homosexuality, and make him love me.”
hahahahahahahaha
hahahahahahaha
I know!!
How bout the Tootsie Pop catapults? And seriously – Gandalf coming down that hill at the last minute is totally impressive (and insane).
“Pwnt is Ent-speak for owned.”
I’ve never read but a lone paragraph of anything Tolkien ever wrote, yet this made me laugh out loud and I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT IT MEANS.
HAHAHA!!!!
Youre terrified, but you feel for the characters, even though they are only sugar.
I can’t stand it. I keep looking at the photos. I love it.
Darn! I just got here and I was just about to paste that exact same sentence you just did.
The whole thing is brilliant.
Also: Even though it terrifies me, I’d like to hear more about his mother’s bitching rug. I know it was just a typo, but I got swept away in the whole notion of THAT. A bitching rug with maybe a Jersey accent:
“Get your damn stinkin’ feet offa me, Tommy!”
“Look at you, just sittin’ dere on dat couch, droppin’ pizza all ovah me. Slob.”
“Awright, you two. Getta room, already, will ya?”
etc.
But the guy is a genius.
Seriously, the most awesome thing I’ve EVER seen. I’m also aroused by this man’s sheer awesomeness. Its just TOO MUCH!
That is one of the most incredible things ever.
I am totally ruled. If I may channel the Invincible Super-Blog for a minute – I am totally FREAKING OUT. My monitor instantly turned into a widescreen flat-panel just from having the pictures on it. And it did that because this level of awesome only deserves the best dot-pitch ratios on the market.
And the pathetic haters who were rude in his comments can Fuck Off, three days early and on the entirely wrong blog.
Gummy LOTR–that is truly the stuff of legend.
Sheila, I love your blog and your writing so much. Just spent an hour and a half reading your Theatre posts. I could not help but smile at how amazing you are for reading and then writing essays on Shakespeare in your BLOG. And your theatre reminiscences are AWESOME. Miss you.
love, Eileen
ps. The memory of the costume change debacle came racing back to me as I read your post; also the part about Kyle and the razor blade is super HOT!
That is amazing. Nerd gravel is quite inspired.
Cullen – hahaha Totally. Nerd gravel!!
Nightfly:

I keep looking at the close-up of the Tootsie Pop catapult – how it’s bent over backwards. It’s so genius!
I’m rather taken with just how kinetic the Gummy Bear orcs scaling the wall feel, and how much pathos there is in the sad tableau of slain Sour Patch Kid warriors…
This is really quite breathtaking!
That is so fun!
Your trackback isn’t working for me, so this is a manual one. Thanks for the tip!
