Accualy I have seen the lotr fotr 13 times as of last night... I saw it 3 times in the theater, and then 10 times over the last couple of months that it has been on DVD. I have seen lotr TTT 3 times in the theater... SCORE! I just got the extended version of fotr for christmas so my dad is going to watch it with me tonight! When I sat down to watch it each of those 13 times, I was definetly NOT thinking, wow I am only watching this for Viggo and Orlando and Elija...
although they are all cute... I watch it becasue I love the storie and now, the movie!

Adrian would you believe me if I told you a friend of my friend saw FOTR in theater 20 times? I meself saw it 9 times in theater.
I have my moments of dreaminess, but it's really cool to look into the way they got into movie making. And after reading some of the interviews you just kind of have to see what they say about one of their hobbies (like surfing or bungee jumping) is true. Unfortunatly I dont have an ocean near my house so I cant try the surfing...but I can jump from a 30 ft tall diving board at the pool in Lava Hot Springs and that's about as close to bungee jumping I'm gonna get. Cheers, Sam

Ok, let me get this straight--you think girls are only into the lord of the rings because of Orlando Bloom?[FLAME DELETED] First off, personally I fancy Sam and second of all I'm not just into it for Sean Astin. When will this stigma that fantasy is boys end?[FLAME DELETED] Oh and I suppose that you don't like Arwen, Galadriel or Eowyn. But then I guess you would think it would be alright if you did because you are a supreme and always correct male. Right, in another world besides this one and Middle- Earth. What I think it all comes down to is that you boys want to keep the Bath Song all for yourselves.

First of all: LotR is LotR. Admittedly, they cast some REALLY hot guys in it. But LotR is LotR.
Secondly: Those of you who are vehemently protesting the idea that the only reason to watch LotR is for the hot guys, either learn how to correctly use the English language, or take some typing lessons. Either one would greatly enhance your credibility. Lemme dig up bropous's famous rant about those of us that consistently misused Tolkien's fair language... Ah, here we go. The remainder of this post is completely bropous's words, from the LotR Easter Egg Mistake thread, in the LotR Movie forum, from much, much earlier this year. Somewhere around Easter, as it were.

Well put Bropous, and TC for sticking that little speech in this thread. I know that I am in no way innocent of sounding like an idiot when I post things, but when people post entire sentences without using any vowels, well they certainly do not sound like people who like LOTR for more than the hot guys.

I'm sorry, but where did the anti-fangirls use poor English? I didn't see that.

It wasn't so much poor English as the "chat-speak" - you know, "n e way", "b4", things like that. And things like writing "there" when they obviously meant "their" or "they're". I never said it was all of the anti-fangirls; only a few of them. Mostly, though, it's a phenomenon that appears on Entmoot during the influx of newbies right after another LotR movie comes out. Please, people, don't take that rant personally, but please do correct yourself if you find yourself writing in this "retrograde, southron Orcish", for the good of us all.

Eowyn CALM DOWN. There are ALOT of people on this board to have stinky English. I think Erawyn wasn't talking about you.
Have you ever seen a chat room where the only think they use are smiley faces and lower case letters to get their point across? I think that's what he was talking about. So calm down. You have good english...for a fangirl. Cheers, Sam

What does having good English, spelling, etc... have to do with liking a movie full of hot actors?

I have no idea!
To whoever started this thread Why did you start it? Was it just to have a go at the people who like Orlando Bloom!! I like Orlando alot but I also like LOTR!! It was just a coincidence that they were put together on the big screen! a good one too!! Last edited by Varda Oiolosseo : 12-26-2002 at 07:02 PM. |

I posted what I did because some people were saying that they liked LotR because of the books (and presumably Tolkien's mastery of the English language), not only because of hot actors. I cited bropous's soapbox dissertation because I felt that if these people didn't use the 'pidgin-English' normally seen in chatrooms, it would lend credibility to their argument. If I am in the wrong here, feel free to take whatever action you deem appropriate.

I think the thread starter said something about his wife being a big OB fan or something, and after the fangirl thread, I think he was just wanting to know if all the women out there are seeing this movie for the hot guys, or for the story itself. I saw it because I love the books, but I'll say that having a bunch of hot fellas in the movie certianly is a plus.

I'm with you SGH. I'd be at these movies even if Rod Stewart was Legolas and Hank Williams Jr played Aragorn. (ick & icky!) The addition of sexy men just ups my interest and possibly the $'s I'll spend. They know what they're doing! It is good! I think the sexy men are magnified because they play righteous, valiant characters. The only evil "looker" (so far) is Lurtz!

Ok well lets think about this
1st of all, sometimes I'm just lazy and talk like that Its ok, no reason to get worked up about it. 2nd I dont know about you, but it would be pretty distracting if they had some dirty hobo playing Frodo and a dirty scummy old man playing Gandalf. I dont think I would stay to watch the movie. I'm glad they cast good looking people, and then just added makeup or whatever to make them look dirty. 3rd I did read the books first and saw the movie after I read the books and I wouldnt have seen the movie if I hadnt have read the books. Its just not my normal type of movie. I'm more in to murder mysteries (*loved* murder by numbers) and comdeys (10 things I hate about you). I didnt even know the books existed tho (see its "chat talk!" LOL) until I saw an ad at school in the library for the movies/books.

Does anybody have any idea what I've found out from this thread? About 60% of the people who have signed are civilized humans, and aren't crazy about Orlando Bloom. Sorry, but thats a strange name. Good thread,

Oh! An on topic post from me, for once...
The first time I heard the name Orlando Bloom, I seriously went "Orlando Bloom? As in Florida Flower???" It amused me greatly... And lazy people or those who can't type well, it's okay. It's just the chat-speak that really bugs me. Sometimes I get really annoyed about spelling/grammar errors, but the problem with that is when I make one, everyone jumps on it! Tired....
