Every five years, teams representing the elves, goblins, and treefolk will compete in a grand tournament of dragon jousting.
So if the elves didn’t actually play one match, and the goblins didn’t actually play two, the truth must be that elves played two and goblins played one.
And since goblins have only played one match so far— against the elves— that means the match between goblins and treefolk has not occurred yet.
We also know that the elves won at least one match, and since they tied against the treefolk, they must have beaten the goblins.
In the match between elves and goblins, the goblins must’ve scored at least one hit.
As much as I tried going into "Inhabited" with a clear mindset, unconsciously I kept comparing the supposedly creepy and menacing garden fairies with the badly sculptured goblins of Nilbog!
The annoying and murderous little creatures in this movie aren't your plain average goblins; they are "The Huldre": wicked little Norwegian demons that live underground and attempt to chase happy families out of their houses through influencing the youngest children.
Talking animals, arbitrary prohibitions, appearances of goblins, dragons, and demons, are not to be questioned in a fairy tale; they are as natural an element of Faerie as, say, gravity is in the scientific world, and the reason or explanation for them is completely beside the point of the story.
Most often in fantasy movies Elves are usually portrayed as having white skin and blond hair and goblins and orcs have dark skin and hair.
Shame on you!If you haven't seen this movie yet, and you're thinking it would be a good film to watch, I might have lost some respect for you.Overall, this was a terrible movie.The acting was horrendous, the special effects were complete crap, and the whole story line is absolutely ridiculous and quite laughable even.The "SCARY" parts are as bout as scary a cute little puppy dog, and the characters are as bout as believable as a magical wonderland full of fairies, goblins, and dragons.The only thing good about it, was that it was ACTUALLY entertaining, and it kept my interest, but don't think that means I'm telling you to watch it.By all means, avoid this film for as long as you can, and I'm sure you won't suffer TOO much of a loss.
I highly recommend watching it after an obsessed friend of mine (who actually owns a t-shirt with a picture of one of the movie's goblins he calls googly eyes, because it has weird eyes) made me watch it drunk.
Just goblins.
Isn't it strange that almost all bad movies concern goblins of some sort?
It was a Christmas Eve, too; and I remember that on that very night he told us the story about the goblins that carried away old Gabriel Grub.''The story about what?' said Mr. Pickwick.
'About an old sexton, that the good people down here suppose to have been carried away by goblins.''Suppose!' ejaculated the old lady.
Haven't you heard ever since you were a child, that he WAS carried away by the goblins, and don't you know he was?''Very well, mother, he was, if you like,' said Wardle laughing.
'He WAS carried away by goblins, Pickwick; and there's an end of the matter.'
A clear stage and no favour for the goblins, ladies and gentlemen, if you please.
CHAPTER XXIX THE STORY OF THE GOBLINS WHO STOLE A SEXTONIn an old abbey town, down in this part of the country, a long, long while ago--so long, that the story must be a true one, because our great-grandfathers implicitly believed it--there officiated as sexton and grave-digger in the churchyard, one Gabriel Grub.
'"Hollands, sir," replied the sexton, trembling more than ever; for he had bought it of the smugglers, and he thought that perhaps his questioner might be in the excise department of the goblins.
Ho! ho! ho!"'As the goblin laughed, the sexton observed, for one instant, a brilliant illumination within the windows of the church, as if the whole building were lighted up; it disappeared, the organ pealed forth a lively air, and whole troops of goblins, the very counterpart of the first one, poured into the churchyard, and began playing at leap-frog with the tombstones, never stopping for an instant to take breath, but "overing" the highest among them, one after the other, with the most marvellous dexterity.
'At last the game reached to a most exciting pitch; the organ played quicker and quicker, and the goblins leaped faster and faster, coiling themselves up, rolling head over heels upon the ground, and bounding over the tombstones like footballs.
'When Gabriel Grub had had time to fetch his breath, which the rapidity of his descent had for the moment taken away, he found himself in what appeared to be a large cavern, surrounded on all sides by crowds of goblins, ugly and grim; in the centre of the room, on an elevated seat, was stationed his friend of the churchyard; and close behind him stood Gabriel Grub himself, without power of motion.
'"Cold to-night," said the king of the goblins, "very cold.
'At this command, half a dozen officious goblins, with a perpetual smile upon their faces, whom Gabriel Grub imagined to be courtiers, on that account, hastily disappeared, and presently returned with a goblet of liquid fire, which they presented to the king.
'It was in vain for the unfortunate sexton to protest that he was not in the habit of taking anything warm at night; one of the goblins held him while another poured the blazing liquid down his throat; the whole assembly screeched with laughter, as he coughed and choked, and wiped away the tears which gushed plentifully from his eyes, after swallowing the burning draught.
He appeared disposed to add more, but indignation choked his utterance, so he lifted up one of his very pliable legs, and, flourishing it above his head a little, to insure his aim, administered a good sound kick to Gabriel Grub; immediately after which, all the goblins in waiting crowded round the wretched sexton, and kicked him without mercy, according to the established and invariable custom of courtiers upon earth, who kick whom royalty kicks, and hug whom royalty hugs.
'"Show him some more!" said the king of the goblins.
'"YOU a miserable man!" said the king of the goblins, in a more contemptuous tone than before.
And again the king of the goblins gave his leg a flourish; again it descended on the shoulders of the sexton; and again the attendant goblins imitated the example of their chief.
