Viggo broke his toe in Two Towers.
That man is amazingly old. Bones as brittle as…I got nothing.
If Frodo had put on the Ring then, he wouda been Frakked.
Peter jackson sighting coming soon. The guy in the rain eating a carrot. Can you say Alfred Hitchcock? I’m sure he’s a fan.
Orlando had a broken rib, and the Gimli double had a dislocated knee when the three of them were running through Rohan.
Martin Sheen had a Heart Attack during the filming of Apocalypse Now.
…ah…sorry. Getting a off topic now…:o
OK, time to start picking nits (I warned you).
I wish that they had split the scene with Gandalf and Saruman. We should have had one scene of simply Gandalf consulting with Saruman. Yes, Gandalf said that Saruman was wise, but we never got to see it. His betrayal lacks some dramatic punch, because he turned within minutes of us meeting him.
Also, I don;t like that Saruman is so willingly Sauron’s servant. The real tragedy of Saruman’s fall is that he thought he could contest with Sauron. The literary Saruman wanted the Ring for himself. He honestly thought he was acting of his own free will, and didn’t realize that Sauron was playing him - causing him (through the Palantir) to think that he (Saruman) was spying on Sauron, when in fact it was exactly the opposite.
On another note, did anyone else catch that Gandalf had his pipe stashed in the end of his staff? Watch the close-up scenes in Orthanc; you can see the pipe intertwined with the root-like end of his staff.
He has a cameo in each of the movies. He’s at Helm’s Deep in Two Towers, and he’s one of the pirates in Return of the King
I love the Rangers from Babylon 5. I miss Marcus.
whaddaya expect? it’s not exactly Breakfast at Tiffany’s
I broke my knee performing a flying scissor kick off of a garage. Yes I was mimicing James T Kirk.
Viggo Mortensen was asked if he wanted to play Aragorn only a few days before shooting (the original actor was too young and not working out right.)
Viggo had NEVER heard of Lord of the Rings and said “no”. And then he told his son and Viiggo’s son --a Tolkein fan–said “Dad!! Aragorn is SO COOL!! You have to do it!!”
So Viggo got on the plane the next day and flew to New Zealand.
It’s my favoriate 'father taking a role for love of his son" story.
Speaking of Babylon 5, the shrieks of the Nine reminded me of the Shadows’ ships.
Anyone know what the Nazgul sound is?
the admiral was just visualizing that
“What about second breakfast?”
I said that while over my in-laws. They didn’t think it was funny. Oh well. One step back. Two steps backward.
There is nothing about that story that surprises me.
My friend and I in 7th grade dressed up in Star Fleet uniforms we made and walked around the Boston Museum of Science. I’d pretend to fall unconcsious and my friend would revvive me with a pretend hypospray (I think it was actually a fat magic marker).
“You mock my pain!”
I rarely wake up early enough for the first one.
