lady_t_220Mum and JR have gone to see Die Another Day (JR's only just realised they released a new Bond movie... he only noticed there was a Star Trek one out yeaterday evening...) so till John gets back I have the house to myself.
And now... that LOTR survey that's been floating around everywhere, becayse I'm too lazy to come up with anything else to say, and too bored to say nothing at all.
You, Legolas, alone in one room. What do you do?
Remove your clothes, elf boy, and strike a pose while I take a few dozen rolls of photos, otherwise Rachie will never forgive me.
You, Arwen, alone in one room. What do you do?
Uh... so do you have the number of your stylist...?
What race would you most like to be?
Well I already AM human, but Charlie seems to think I'm highly suited to being a dwarf, so I guess I could give that a try just for the sake of variation.
Honestly...would you keep it secret, and safe?
Heck no.
If you would keep it secret and safe, would you be the Ring-bearer, or would you swear to protect the Ring-bearer?
Probably the latter, though my mercenary sensibilities would possibly lead me to slaughter them in their sleep anyway.
Ok, you are the Ring-bearer, who makes up the Fellowship with you (of your friends) and if they're enough like a character, say who they'd be
Well Charlie is definitely a Hobbit. Technically she'd make a good Frodo cause we all follow her around anyway, but I guess she could also double as Sam, Merry or Pippin if push came to shove.
Rachie does elf impressions so I guess she could be Leggy-loo
Uh, John has Aragorn stubble and a ponytail so I guess that's him, and Richard would be Boromir for no reason other than I think he should.
I suppose Dekie could be Gandalf cause she knows eeeeverything (well, at least everything X-men related, and that counts for lots)
Allende could be Galadriel cause she'd look super spiffy in the foofy sleeves...
I wouldn't want to wander Middle Earth without KAT, so she could be my Sam and together we could torment the crap out of poor Gollum.
Oh and Charlie's cat Priss is the Balrog.
Are you evil? Evil enough to become a tool of Sauron?
I'm no one's tool. I'm just biding my time to take over after Sauron's done all the hard work already.
If you had to be one of the nasty/evil creatures (i.e. the Balrog, the Cave Troll, an orc, Ring Wraith, etc) what one would you be, and why?
Ring Wraith cause their capes rock and they get to ride dragony things...
Or I could be Gollum just to distrub DevilDoll
If you didn't know the Ring was The One Ring, but you knew it made you disappear and such, what would you do with it?
I shall answer this question in the form of a short play.
Hugh: What was that sudden and inexplicable draft that wooshed through my dressing room?
LT: *evil chuckling*
The End
Cause let's face it most people would, at some point or another, use it to perv at naked people.
Pippin and Merry - are they really okay guys, or just big nuisances?
I prefer Pippin to Merry but they make an entertaining enough double act.
Who kicks the most ass: Gandalf, Legolas, Strider, or Gimli?
Well Gandalf would whup all their asses in a brawl if that's what you mean...
Would you rather be an Archer, Wizard, or Ranger?
Wizard, then I could be just like Ian and straddle two franchises at once.
Who's your favorite character?
Uhh... This would usually be answered by stating which character I drooled over the most, but I didn't really drool on any of them. I liked how Boromir died though. Hardest bastard in all of Middle Earth, ha HA your puny arrows cannot stop me, RAH!
If, for some odd reason, Aragorn and Legolas were to get in a fight, who do you think would win (and why)?
Legolas would whup Aragorn's ass.
Do you think the race of men is weak?
Well duh... it invented both the boy-band phenomenon and the Men&Motors porn channel didn't it?
Does it make you sad to know the Elves are leaving these shores?
*eh...* not really, so long as they leave their stylist.
React to this: Frodo lives!
And?
If you've read the book and seen the movie, did you like both, or do you think one was better than the other?
I tried reading the books but I ended up wanting to beat my brain out against the corner of the table, so yes, the movies were more enjoyable. It cut through all the pointless rambling and actually showed you the plot bits instead.
Do you think the movie was an insult to Tolkien's genius?
Whoever said he was a genius to start with? [/snark]
Any problem with the cast?
I reiterate that I had no one to dribble over... and I always imagined Aragorn looking different to that. He looked a little grebby for my personal taste, though the general aura was right it just wasn't quite... *there*.
Honestly...do you think Liv Tyler did a good job as Arwen, or are you glad she's in the movie just because she's hot?
Not-hot and really don't care. She's not exactly in it enough to make a difference.
What do you think of the choice to cut Tom Bombadil?
Thank God.
Was the Balrog all you had hoped for?
Ohhhh, Balrogs rule :D
Any other changes from the book to the movie that irritate you?
No. If they hadn't gone at it with a big pair of editing scissors then smeone else would have eventually.
How about that special-edition DVD, pretty cool, or no?
Uhm, honestly I've not actually watched it yet. The family have but I really wasn't that bothered.
Lastly, what was your favorite bit of the movie?
Uh, Boromir's death scene (c'mon ya bastards, is that all ya got? It's just a flesh wound ya pansy!)
And the battle for Helm's Deep, cause it was niftily big and impressive.
