the musings of a certain pace
The Hobbit.
I dragged my sisters to watch The Hobbit at Paradigm Mall because I made a promise we would watch it after finals, and YES, we did watch The Hobbit. However, as I was too small (not so since I was 8 until 10!) when the Lord of the Rings trilogy is released, I wouldn't classify myself as a fan.
Hence, I didn't go and watch The Hobbit because of the hobbit himself although the thought of Martin Freeman as John Watson as Bilbo Baggins is quite interesting; it is also not because of the dwarves even though Tolkien's dwarves are quite handsome and humorous and sometimes majestic; it is actually Thranduil the Elvenking, of all people, that caught my attention. Even if he appeared like what? 12 seconds? 25 seconds? I quote from others: Thranduil is fabulous, throughout all seasons, hah.
Before I throw words vomit on Thranduil who didn't even last a minute in The Hobbit but perhaps more in Desolation of Smaug -- go ahead and watch The Hobbit. If you appreciate scenery porn, New Zealand is fantastically fabulous in The Hobbit. I AM IN ENVY, NEW ZEALAND. Also, lots of actors. :)
WHY OH WHY OH WHY THRANDUIL?
Lee Grinner Pace.
However, I am going to halt on the Elvenking and focus on his works before The Hobbit. Specifically, Pushing Daisies (2007 - 2009) and The Fall (2006). And, I'll be honest, I don't even regret having such fondness on him because his smile is contagious and he makes my heart feel warm all over.
It's Lee Pace as Ned the Piemaker from Pushing Daisies. The series is cancelled with 22 episodes but it's such a delicious delight with pies, murder cases and quirky cast. Ned has the unique ability to bring back a dead person to life for just a minute -- but with conditions!
Touch a dead person once; they are back alive for a minute.
Touch a dead person again after the first touch; death becomes permanent.
Touch a dead person and let them remain alive for more than a minute; someone else has to die.
The equivalent exchange : a human for a human; a plant for a plant; an animal for an animal.
The plot is straightforward and each episode is different but the main storyline featuring the cast flows in a natural manner. The narrator often causes me to burst into laughter. The fabulous cast have a personality of their own and that's what so interesting about them. No one's the same!
I'm sad that the series is cancelled because the open ending is not enough!
Next featuring Lee Pace is The Fall (2006).
Roy is a stuntman who is hospitalized due to a fall while doing a stunt. He befriends a child who is hospitalize for a broken arm, Alexandria. He tells her a story about five heroes who are on a quest to defeat the one man who has wronged them. However, Roy actually uses Alexandria to obtain morphine from the pharmacy to help him commit suicide after his girlfriend leaves him for another man.
The story is quite heartbreaking because Catinca Untaru is not acting; her responses are largely unscripted to allow her feelings to be the real deal, and Lee Pace helps by pretending to be bedridden during the course of the filming and yes, he's Roy, not Lee Pace.
So what's this post is all about?
Lee Pace and why his eyebrows and smiles are all contagious. I now look forward to seeing Thranduil because I have a feeling I will be experiecing a different feeling from Lee Pace. We have smiles, we have tears, can we have anger?
