George needs to learn from this guy about proper father/son dynamic. Yeah I know Qui and Obi aren't father and son, but Qui technically IS the closest thing to a father-figure Obi has, in my opinion.
Balian = Orlando Bloom, Godfrey = Qui-Gon Jinn Liam Neeson.
From the Kingdom of Heaven script (one of the versions, anyway), verbatim:
Scene:
Godfrey peels the orange. Balian allows Godfrey to put the section of fruit, not unlike the host, into his mouth. Quite obviously he has never expected that anything on the earth could taste like this. Mouth still crammed, the juice trickling, he stares at his father.
... What? I can't be the only one who sees it.
Interestingly, that scene WAS shot, but got cut from the theatrical release. Even better? It's in the director's cut of KoH, which is playing right now in California apparently, in select theatres. Somewhere. People on IMDb have seen it. And it's a version that actually makes sense, and there's more Liam, yay! Supposedly about a half hour more.
So who lives in Cali and wouldn't mind a house guest for a few days? ;) I really doubt we'll get the director's cut over here, unless it's released on DVD. Here's hoping. More Liam is a very good thing.
Oh, and happy new year, everyone!
