40cakes1. You, Legolas, alone in one room. What do you do?
Braid each other's hair and giggle about boys.
2. You, Arwen, alone in one room. What do you do?
Braid each other's hair and giggle about boys.
3. We sadly lost 3 when he fell into....ummm...ok, we just lost him.
4. What gift would you ask of the Elves?
The secret to how they make such good cookies.
5. What race would you most like to be?
Elves. I sure could use somma dat beauty and grace. Really.
6. Honestly...would you keep it secret, and safe?
Safe? Obviously. If I had a magic ring, it would be with me at all times. Secret? That's the challenge...
7. If you would keep it secret and safe, would you be the Ring-bearer, or would you swear to protect the Ring-bearer?
Uh...Can I stay and play with the elves instead?
8. 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:
Read previous post. I'm one step ahead of ya.
9. Ok, you're not the Ring-bearer (but you are in the Fellowship like above), who of your friends would be the Ring-bearer?
Sue. They'll never think to look for it in Texas.
10. Are you evil? Evil enough to become a tool of Sauron?
Tool? Did you call me a tool? I'm so evil, I'm Sauron's MOM.
11. 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?
I'll go with Nazgul. Black is the new black.
12. 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?
Helloo frat parties.
13. Pippin and Merry - are they really okay guys, or just big nuisances?
I really haven't formed an opinion on them yet. I totally dug them with the Ents, though.
14. Who kicks the most ass: Gandalf, Legolas, Strider, or Gimli?
Gimli. Have your doubts? Play the Two Towers PS2 game.
15. Would you rather be an Archer, Wizard, or Ranger?
Wizard.
16. Who's your favorite character?
Hee. Arwen rox. But the second movie made me lurve Gimli.
17. Apparently, question seventeen was killed needlessly at Helm's Deep.
Fuck.
18. If, for some odd reason, Aragorn and Legolas were to get in a fight, who do you think would win (and why)?
Legolas. Aragorn's chivalry and pride and whatnot wouldn't allow him to hit a woman.
19. Do you think the race of men is weak?
Physically, no. All spiritual and mind-strength and whathaveyou, yes.
20. Does it make you sad to know the Elves are leaving these shores?
I didn't really get that part, but I have never read the books. Um, yes?
21. React to this: Frodo lives!
I want to buy a Rowan brick and have that printed on it.
22. If you've read the book and seen the movie, did you like both, or do you think one was better than the other?
Haven't done that yet. But Kim's keeping me updated.
23. Do you think the movie was an insult to Tolkien's genius?
The point of making a film about a book isn't to replace the book. It is simply to give another's interpretation on it. If you've read the books, why would you pay $7 to have the book shown to you exactly on screen? I enjoyed Ralph Bakshi's animated version, and that condensed half of the series into a film shorter than the Fellowship. It's just a matter of taste.
24. Any problem with the cast?
No...not really...
25. 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?
I think she did a good job, but I think she was in the movie just because she's hot. And she's kind of a name that draws an audience. Maybe on the B-list. Let's face it, did you know who Orlando Bloom and Viggo Mortensen were before this?
26. What do you think of the choice to cut Tom Bombadil?
Who the what now?
27. Was the Balrog all you had hoped for?
Hee. He wasn't the animated Balrog in seventies flare pants, but it'll do.
28. Any other changes from the book to the movie that irritate you?
See above reply.
29. How about that special-edition DVD, pretty cool, or no?
Eh.
30. Lastly, what was your favorite bit of the movie?
I liked the second movie much more than the first. A lot of action, a lot of new characters, A LOT OF THINGS HAPPENING. I liked the Ents' attack on Isengard, I dug Golem, I liked a lot o' crap. And I laughed when I saw the "sex scene" I had heard so much about.
