rome

was in rome two weeks ago with my art class- kindof like a really expensive class trip. Was so good- heres just a few of my pictures- theres loads more photos, but most of them were really blurry and out-of-focus- really photography-not my thing.

saw lots of art, some of it really galleries really weren't worth it, but, go see Bernini's sculptures in Borghese Gallery- next time your in rome.

hi just back from seeing 'the lion, witch and the wardrope' was very very good, wasnt a huge massive epic (was quite pleased it wasnt) told the book well- but read the books.

but during the film i was struck by the amount of dwarf actors there were, then thought more about the amount of dwarf actor/actress' there are in most movies-
thinking throuh some of the biggest movies-

star wars en mass of dwarf actors- ewoks, r2d2....

snow white!!

lord of the rings (although all the main hobbits were normal sized people shrunk- alot of the extras were tiny people)

the baddy from the man with the golden gun

Labyrinth

wizard of oz mite have some - but return to oz has to have- it was made in the 80s.



im not against dwarf actors- it seems like the only way that vertically challanged people can get a job (circus maybe?) but its just that there cant be that many dwarfish people... but there are loads of gingers- try and name me a famous ginger actor





(ok nicol kidman- but name me two!)
