What's with the hobbit feet?
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

What's with the hobbit feet?
Probably to protect his actual feet for a barefoot running scene.
he looks...not good.
He does, however, look almost exactly like Captain America as drawn by Kevin Maguire in the Adventures of Captain America, Sentinel of Liberty limited series.
I'm still psyched.
I didn't realize it was set in the past. Is that a spoiler? I'm wondering how they're going to fold him into The Avengers.
Laga, in the comic books, Captain America was preserved in ice for several decades after the end of WWII, only to be discovered by the Avengers later on.
What really happened was that after WWII superheroes became unpopular and Captain America's comic book was canceled. After they became popular again in the 1960s they used him being frozen as a way to retcon the character back into existence.
Tivo alert: They're showing lots of classic Hammer Horror on TCM for this October, starting this Friday with Horror of Dracula (the first Christopher Lee Dracula, and the second horror movie of the Hammer explosion after Curse of Frankenstein).
They're also showing Brides of Dracula right after, and that's one of my favorite Hammers. It doesn't have Lee, but it has Cushing in one of his best performances as Van Helsing, and the story is really fascinating, lots of narrative twists away from the usual tropes, two really interesting female roles.
Ahh cool, Tom, thanks.
Loved the Hammer films when I was a teen!
