LOL!!

It still helps to be young...even with makeup. Acting helps true...

She isn't bad....but she was 27-29 it would have been better.

I have faith that she will pull it off well, regardless of her age.

New Eowyn picture!!!!! This one is different from the other ones I've seen, so I was very happy to find it. It can be found here: http://www.sphaerentor.com/tolkien/i...hiv.php&id=342

along with two other new pictures from TTT.

She looks like Portia DeRossi. Good choice.

Actually, I was not aware of this actress until I saw her pic on the back of the Two Towers. She looks severe, tough as nails, and wise in the pic. I imagine she will do a fine job.

Actually, prior to LotR, I had never really seen or recalled most of the actors in the film. Of courseI knew of Christpher Lee, but didn't recognize Magneto as Gandalf til like the seventh viewing. Knew of John-Rhys Davies, always liked him. Remembered Sean Bean from "Sharpe's Rifles". Slightly remembered Elijah Wood from "The Ice Storm". Avoided Liv Tyler movies like the plague, couldn't even tell you one movie Kate Blanchett was in prior to this one.

I really liked Hugo Weaving, a new actor to me, as well as Sean Astin and Viggo Mortenson. Billy Boyd stole the show as Pippin.

The casting of Denethor looks interesting, not familiar with that actor. Veeeeery interesting that Billy Babbit from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest will be playing Grima Wormtongue. The captain from Titanic as Theoden King is a nice choice as well. I am very curious how well Anthony Serkis [?] will play Gollum. that should be quite neat.

That new picture of her is much as I imagined her, and she does look like she's in her early twenties.

Nine months to go! Gah...

Sorry I didn't post this sooner, but Miranda was in a Masterpiece Theatre series called The Way We Live Now. Unfortunately part 4 of 4 was shown last night. Oh, well, maybe they'll show it again this summer and everyone can get a look at her abilities!

Elf Girl · 04-23-2002, 03:48 PM

That's an interesting pic, Eruviel. Wasn't her hair blonder in the other pics?

Eruviel Greenleaf · 04-23-2002, 10:31 PM

Um, that could be...I dunno...

Varda Oiolosseo · 04-25-2002, 09:50 AM

I know this is probally a stupid question but why have you got Greenleaf in your name and a gorge picture??

A moral of the whole (after the primary symbolism of the Ring, as the will to mere power, seeking to make itself objective by physical force and mechanism, and so also inevitably by lies) is the obvious one that without the high and noble the simple and vulgar is utterly mean; and without the simple and ordinary the noble and heroic is meaningless."
