I like REALLY the first one, and the second i do like, but i hope things darker after they leave Olaf's place. i really do not like the brownish green coloring, i hope it gets more graish black in the rest of the movie. But then again, this is better than no pictures at all I can't wait to see more. The trailer is obviously going to be coming soon. There setting us up for it. I can feel it, i'm so excited ;D

Luna: ARGGHHH *humps* Luna: ;_; Luna: Oooooh, look at his shoes. Luna: Those shoes kick my ass. They're all bound with leather or something. neggy: oh my friggin' lord... LOOK AT EVERYTHING! neggy: He has an hourglass!!! neggy: AND A CHANDELIER! Luna: WHOA WHERE neggy: And ALCHOHOL!!! Luna: And a bust on his ceiling neggy: In the left corner Luna: Ooooh, I see it! neggy: That rox0rs Luna: He's like my perfect boyfriend. neggy: yum neggy: I can't wait to see what Jacques looks like neggy: he's a sweetie Luna: Ahahaha, it's like the photographer in this was gay and wanted a random crotchshot of Olaf. Luna: Jacques is a cutie, yes. Luna: I hope he's nice. neggy: I know... notice that there aren't stripes in the groin area.... just this huge black spot that immediately draws your eye? neggy: hehehe Luna: ISN'T THAT BRILLIANT?!

Violet's dress is really great, and Olaf's costume too. I can't wait to see the troupe.

Oh dear... Well, the fangirl conversation pretty much sums up the craze. I LOVE this picture...
But, to quote more... this pretty much sums up my feelings about this:
Luna: You know, this movie is really getting Olaf's character spot-on. If Jim doesn't potato him up then he'll be even better than the book version. neggie: BLASPHEMY! But... yeah... more dimension L: The atmosphere in that pic is AMAZING. Nostalgic, cultured, sophisticated and there was one other adjective I was going to use but I forgot. n: I KNOW!!! It's so... classic
I simply cannot say how happy I am with the set and costuming!
EDIT: I just realized there are little eyes on the platform on which he's sitting...

So who is going to e-mail this to all the movie site? Other fans must be informed ;D, I would but it won't copy and paste for me, it just ends up being this blank space well maybe not all the sites, probably just two...once one or two know they then take from each other (depending on who you send it too )

I just noticed that Violet is wearing all black and fishnets on her arms. ARGH. She's not a goddamn punkgoth or what the potato -ever, she's a neo-Victorian classy girl with a dress that kicks the salsa out of the definition of "awesome."
Klaus' book outfit also kills his movie one. Which is just a sweater, so it's got the "absence of bad" thing going on, but absence of bad does not = good.
It's weird how they screwed up the heroes and Olaf is--oh wait, it's not weird, because apparently he's the only character in the books that really matters.
...I will still be drooling over that picture, though ;_;

The tallness and hairstyle doesn't really bother me. Klaus is really only two years younger than Violet in BB, and a twelve-year-old isn't that short in real life (as opposed to the book illustrations). Violet's hairstyle irks me but I can live with it.
It's just that the core images of the characters haven't really been used at all. Regardless, I really want to see the concept art and sketches for this. For the COSTUMES especially.

Hopefully the DVD has lots of bonus features.
And seeing as how it's a movie, their costumes will probably change a bit over the course of it. I was actually liking Violet's dress (although I didn't think it went with her hair). If you'll note, it has the little seams on the side there (with the bits of purple layered under the black). I think that's a Victorian thing... Although maybe the fishnet isn't...

WHERE ARE KLAUS'S GLASSES?? I DEMAND GLASSES! other than that, not bad. Well, actually, no. Major problem with Violet's plaits and Klaus's look in general. THere were sevveral pics where he looked exactly like Klaus and this isn't really one of them. The face is good, but not the hair. Well, the hair is OK.Well...they did their best. And their best is pretty good. Not the best, but pretty good. It can't be perfect and it's a Christ-like miracle to be able to capture a book character's essence on movies. *coughPottercoughRadcliffesuckscough* And, Klaus is taller than Violet...I imagined him to be shorter... And is that a necklace I spot on Violet? How come I get the feeling it'll be something like "My mummy gave this to me...I've had it since I was 4...it's the last thing from the house" blah blah blah..WHERE THE potato ARE KLAUS'S GLASSES?
