That line from the father's song in Mary Poppins, where he's going on about how nothing can go wrong, in Britain in 1910.  That's about the point I realized the boy was gonna die in a trench.

He didn't say he wanted to bang her, he said her eyes reminded him of Eris' eyes.

Well, he referenced the boob thread, so I took it that way.  However, I gotta cut him some slack...When I first saw that pic on National Geographic's cover, I thought she was in her 20s.

But it was just a load of PTSD making her look older.

Situation or age notwithstanding, those are some very compelling eyes.




Yeah, last time I saw eyes like that, it involved 4 days of "go pills".

She had "stranger danger" and the photographer barely got her permission before he took her pic.  Awesome picture that it is, it has brought MILLIONS to the cause of helping Afghanistan's women and girls fight abuse, and it tells a dark tale of the refugee (which is where the National Geographic photographer found her).

Now, as he's refound her, her eyes are a little gentler and much more careworn...less deer in headlights.

I dunno why but that picture, the original younger one, reminds me of a shot of Frodo in LOTR.  There's a scene where he has that same kinda stare.  I wonder if that picture was inspiration for that shot.

No. It's just that Elijah Wood has PTSD, which is a result of his actually having to be Elijah Wood.

Ugh, this thread is about eyes and her eyes reminded me of Frodo.  Obviously I'm not suggesting they are morally equivalent or anything.

Hell, there are places in Afghanistan where even Uruk Hai won't tread.
