My maternal Grandfather was one of those “guys”. You should know better and show a little respect!
It was a Peter Jackson Hobbit joke.
Calm down tough guy.
My grandmothers brother was killed at the battle of St Mihiel, 1918.
My grandmother was in that war, as near to the front lines as an Army field hospital could get in the days before M.A.S.H. Units.
For 100 year old primitive film, it looks like they did a great job.
