LOTR Srrrrveyness
Jan. 6th, 2003 01:39 pmYou, Legolas, alone in one room. What do you do?
Smack him around. OK, I get it. You're the strong silent type, but could you say SOMETHING that isn't bloody obvious? Please?
You, Arwen, alone in one room. What do you do?
Not much. Arwen is the moon, but Galadriel is the Sun *drools over Galadriel*
We sadly lost 3 when he fell into....ummm...ok, we just lost him.
Perhaps the rocks at the bottom of the river will shave off his stubble.
What gift would you ask of the Elves?
One Night With Galadriel? No.
Then I request a stand of your lovely hair so that I may always remember ye.
What race would you most like to be?
Hmmm... I AM, probably, most like a dwarf.
But I think I'd most LIKE to be an elfy.
Pointy ears are cool.
Honestly...would you keep it secret, and safe?
What? And let Sauron have it? Me no think so, dorko.
If you would keep it secret and safe, would you be the Ring-bearer, or would you swear to protect the Ring-bearer?
I don't want that thing. Keep it away!
I'll protect the Ring-bearer. Nice hobbitsses! Good hobbitsses!
Are you evil? Evil enough to become a tool of Sauron?
No more evil than most people. We can all become the tool of Sauron.
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?
Gollum!
If not Gollum, then probably the Balrog. I have a nasty temper all my own.
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?
Practical jokes, I imagine, mostly.
Though the idea of driving my car invisibly appeals too :)
Pippin and Merry - are they really okay guys, or just big nuisances?
How could you not love Pippin and Merry? Sure, they aren't the smartest hobbits, but they're stalwart and brave!
Who kicks the most ass: Gandalf, Legolas, Strider, or Gimli?
Gandalf SHOULD kick the most ass. Big powerful wizard and all..
But alas, he doesn't
Gimli!
Would you rather be an Archer, Wizard, or Ranger?
hmmm... Rangers consort with elves...
...
Ranger! XD
Who's your favorite character?
My precious Gollum! :)
Apparently, question seventeen was killed needlessly at Helm's Deep.
Um... er... OK :)
If, for some odd reason, Aragorn and Legolas were to get in a fight, who do you think would win (and why)?
Aragorn. Easily. Legolas is good at long range and long range only. Aragorn is good across the field.
Also, Aragorn is more manly than Legolas which obviously goes a long way in such matters.
Do you think the race of men is weak?
Uh... DUH!
Does it make you sad to know the Elves are leaving these shores?
Yeah. Who knows what might have happened if they'd stuck around.
Also, I'll never get my date with Galadriel now ;)
React to this: Frodo lives!
Yes, in Valinor. What's your point?
If you've read the book and seen the movie, did you like both, or do you think one was better than the other?
The book is ALWAYS better than the movie.
Do you think the movie was an insult to Tolkien's genius?
No? Jackson did the best he could with what's really a HUUUGE landscape of mythology.
I still have issues with some of what he's done, but all in all, I wouldn't call it an insult.
Any problem with the cast?
None that haven't been fixed in the Two Towers.
Elrond WAS played in FOTR nearly exactly the same as Mr. Smith.
But it's better in Two Towers.
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?
She's OK. I think she's done a better job altogether than the actor who plays Elrond.
What do you think of the choice to cut Tom Bombadil?
I sob. But I understand.
Was the Balrog all you had hoped for?
Worked for me. :) It was about what I imagined :)
Any other changes from the book to the movie that irritate you?
A few, yes. But I'm a nitpicker.
How about that special-edition DVD, pretty cool, or no?
When's the next one coming out? ^^
Yes, cool ^^
Lastly, what was your favorite bit of the movie?
FOTR - Sam and Elrond's "secret" council meeting
TTT - Gimli, Legolas and the box.
