As he was tending the fire, he pointed to two huge buckets and asked the boy to fetch water. The boy tended the fire while the troll went to get water to make porridge.
Once it was ready the boy suggested they have an eating contest. They ate as much as they could, however the boy had placed his knapsack under his shirt and was filling it with the porridge, without the troll noticing. Once it was full he slashed a hole in it and continued to eat.
Once the troll was full and could eat no more, the boy suggested that the troll cut a hole in his stomach, like they boy appeared to have done, so that he could eat as much as he liked. The troll, being rather stupid, did so and promptly died. Thus, the boy took all of his gold and silver and the farmer could pay off his debts. As un-Christian beings, trolls are said to go crazy when they hear the bells and run far away. Trolls are also repelled by lightning, which kills them — likely a result of their run-ins with Thor who is said to have hunted trolls across the land.
Some legends attest that trolls turn to stone when exposed to sunlight and that this is the source of the huge stony crags in places such as Trold-Tindterne Troll Peaks in Norway. In fact, there are many places within Norway named after the creatures, from the Trollstigen mountain pass to the famous Trolltunga Troll's Tongue rock formation. Trolls are such an essential part of Scandinavian culture and folklore. I enjoyed this fun article and am sharing it to my Real Scandinavia Facebook page.
The boy tended the fire while they [should be the] troll went to get water to make porridge…. Those superhuman, really beautiful and much better looking and doing trolls a bit like later days elves. There are several encounters of troll daughters that get stuck outside their cave because of a hunter or woodsmen have thrown some iron in between making that gate not walkable. I heard this story from my Grandmother 50 some years ago!!
Long forgotten until I read this! Thanks for the memory! When I was very young I hated to go to bed, and my father would scare me by telling about the Trolls.
I remember mamma telling me that the Trolls came to America to make sure that all the Norwegian children who lived here had to be good or be sent back to Norway without their.
Mother or Father. I was a good girl, and I got to go to Norway when I was 16 years old, mamma and I visited family. In Iceland we have the same storyes.
Our ansestors brought ghem over. Mostly trols are easily tricked out of there belongings. I personsly think trol storyes are old memmory. Coming from time before scandinavia… and if you change the name Troll for Neandertal people it fits. When he was released in , he left the U. Since then he has worked to post anti—Planned Parenthood videos and flooded thousands of university printers in America with instructions to print swastikas—a symbol tattooed on his chest.
I totally understand your position. I find it hilarious that after your people have stolen years of my life at gunpoint and bulldozed my home, you still expect me to work for free in your interests.
Sure, just like there are tiny, weird bookstores where you can buy neo-Nazi pamphlets, there are also tiny, weird white-supremacist sites on the web. But some of the contributors on those sites now go to places like 8chan or 4chan, which have a more diverse crowd of meme creators, gamers, anime lovers and porn enthusiasts. Once accepted there, they move on to Reddit, the ninth most visited site in the U. But last summer, Reddit banned five more discussion groups for being distasteful.
This was not a popular decision with users who really dislike people with a high body mass index. She and her husband had their home address posted online along with suggestions on how to attack them. Eventually they had a police watch on their house. Moreno has blurred their house on Google maps and expunged nearly all photos of herself online.
Since these people posted their real names, addresses, ages, jobs and other details for the gifting program, Moreno learned a good deal about them. They believe that saving a community is nearly impossible once mores have been established, and that sites like Reddit are permanently lost to the trolls. When sites are overrun by trolls, they drown out the voices of women, ethnic and religious minorities, gays—anyone who might feel vulnerable.
Young people in these groups assume trolling is a normal part of life online and therefore self-censor. The same percentage consider online harassment a regular part of their jobs. Now everyone on the Internet is a public figure. The problem is that not everyone can deal with that.
Citing the role of Twitter during the Arab Spring, she says that anonymity has given voice to the oppressed, but that women and minorities are more vulnerable to attacks by the anonymous. At some point, everyone, no matter how desensitized by their online experience, is liable to get freaked out by a big enough or cruel enough threat.
Still, people have vastly different levels of sensitivity. Which are exactly the kinds of messages Em Ford, 27, was receiving en masse last year on her YouTube tutorials on how to cover pimples with makeup.
This year, Ford made a documentary for the BBC called Troll Hunters in which she interviewed online abusers and victims, including a soccer referee who had rape threats posted next to photos of his young daughter on her way home from school. Troll culture might be affecting the way nontrolls treat one another. But the opposite is likely occurring as well. As more trolling occurs, many victims are finding laws insufficient and local police untrained.
But when it comes to someone harassing you online, getting the social-media companies to act can be very frustrating. One counter-trolling strategy now being employed on social media is to flood the victims of abuse with kindness. In , after Emily May co-founded Hollaback! Though everyone knows not to feed the trolls, that can be challenging to the type of people used to expressing their opinions. Instead, they were cast as leads. I can spend all day writing about just how bad the acting is.
Every single actor in this movie is terrible. In fact, the only actor in the movie that was believable at least, was the general store owner.
He auditioned for the role, while on weekend leave, from a mental institution. How many times have you heard the joke, a crazy guy walk on to a movie set? The reactions each actor gives one another are wrong every time. Even if you are just acting, how do you get being angry, wrong?
Or being afraid? They literally do the opposite of how any person would react. They smile when they should frown. They yell when they should talk. They talk calmly when they should be afraid. Grandpa Seth is constantly giving Joshua this creepy smile at the oddest times. On a quick side note; the over-acting is actually good. Deborah Reed is especially hammy as Creedence.
Every single line she utters is followed by her cartoonish facial expressions; uncomfortably, seriously bad, but good. The writing is so delightfully horrid, that I had to break it up into 3 parts. This is another favorite of mine. I can quote this movie on end. The dialogue is absolutely weird, and uncomfortable. This movie was written by Rossella Drudi, though she is not credited on the film. She is the wife of the director, Claudio Fragasso. If you watch the movie and listen to the words it sounds like a foreigner speaking, with a miniscule grasp of the English language, trying to DO American.
What you are left with is wooden, nonsensical, completely unrealistic dialogue. Really, I can start listing off scenes and different lines of the movie that are so painfully bad they have become classics.
But that will be in my next article, my 10 favorite scenes from the movie. In a book, all you can do is tell.
But movies have the camera, and the camera should do the talking. Well, not in this movie. One example of this is in the first act. The mom is trying to comfort her son, after learning that he still talks to his dead grandfather. Ok, you all with me?
She then begins telling him information that would already be known to him. I know how difficult it is for you. It is also difficult for your father, Holly, and me, his daughter. Why does she feel the need to remind him of his sibling and father? Why does she feel need to remind him that it has been 6 months since his death?
This is attributed to bad writing, made funny, by worse acting. Instead of showing and not telling, they do the exact opposite for most of the movie. Rossella Drudi said the she wrote this script because a number of her friends became vegetarians. I will give her a pass on the dialogue only because she wrote a movie in a language that is not her first. He starts the car, drives through the woods and comes to a bridge.
The bridge is out and the gap is wide. The villain, somehow is not far behind. If I wanted to do something ridiculous, I could have a lightning bolt hit a tree at that exact moment, splitting in half and falling, covering the exact length of the gap to make a platform for our hero to cross.
That, to me, would be ridiculous and a little too, convenient. But this is why she is kind of a crazy genius. She would have our hero get out of the car and inexplicably be able to conjure lightning from his hand, splitting the tree in half and having it fall, covering the length of the gap. This part of the movie is the best of the worst. I can go scene by scene with this one and just baulk at every single plot device used. I can write 10 pages on this subject.
It almost like, whenever they were faced with a tough decision on how to move the story, they literally just thought of the first thing that popped in their heads and went with it. This is just ONE of soooo many examples.
