and his bullshit casting in The Hobbit.
Actually no, not the casting really (I thought all three actors did a stellar job with their characters), just the costuming and how they decided to go about presenting certain dwarves.
Thorin, Kili and Fili did not look like dwarves, they looked like rugged fashion models who had their dirt lovingly patted on by by a makeup brush
while the rest of the company looked like their makeup artists shook them by their ankles and buried them in dirt for a few days
Pretty much everyone else in the company (with the exception of Ori, but that's because he's like, two years old) has these great big beards or mustaches with either HUGE IMPRESSIVE BRAIDS (lookin at you Bumbur) or intricate patterns of braids and plaits and what-have-yous.
And then there's Thorin; the literal king of Durinsfolk, possible Lord of Ered Luin, and hero a Azanulbizar and his beard can only be described as a disappointing fart noise. He's got like two braids in his hair and then it's just long black hair that flows in the wind as the camera pans left for the strategically-timed sunset shot that wreathes his head in a heavenly light and crowns Thorin II the first Messiah of Middle-Earth.
Thorin is 195 years old and he's got like 2 white hairs on his head. Balin is seventeen years younger, Dori and Oin even YOUNGER, but all their hair has gone white does Thorin dye his ******** hair what
What was anybody involved in makeup and wigs thinking
