"I love Minas Tirith"
On Friday, I watched all four hours of the Return of the King cast commentary. Since no one else is going to do that, I thought I'd present some of the finer quotes. At least it will give you a lot to read. The majority are provided by Merry and Pippin because they are hilarious and I want them to be my friends.
On Orlando and Viggo, respectively:
"He's very beautiful." - Pippin
"He's very beautiful, but darker. He's more scary beautiful, more 'I'll hit you in the face' beautiful." - Merry
"Not until Orlando finishes off his Red Riding Hood impression." - Merry
"That must have really hurt your winky dink, going that fast." - Merry
"Look, everyone else is just blowing smoke up people's asses, I'm telling the truth." - Gollum
"This would probably be the scene that I was most disappointed about losing." - Merry
"You said that about the last one." - Pippin
"Yeah, good point." - Merry
"The super sexy lighting for naked Frodo." - Sam. I can hear Rachel cringing from here.
"It was probably made by the orc helmet-maker and all the orcs said 'I'm not wearing that.'" - On Elijah's beak helmet.
"I thought I looked circumcised in my helmet." - Eomer
"Flaming balls!" - Sam
"You're going about your business and someone throws away your lembas bread...metaphorically."
"It's the cheapest horse, give it to Faramir" - Faramir
"I don't think I've ever seen Orlando look so girly." - Merry
"I like the messy Aragorn, the grubby Aragorn, the one that doesn't wash." - Join the club, Eowyn. The line starts behind my mom.
"Sometimes I look at [a picture of the four hobbits], Dom, and I think 'There's three of my good friends' and then I weep a little tear and then I just open the door and make myself some cheese and toast. I love Minas Tirith." - Pippin
Other highlights: Daisy Wenham, Miranda Otto with no knickers, orcs with tumors, Dom and Billy's farewell lines about potato farmers, Karl Urban asking where the bathroom is, and Dom labeling Aragorn's coronation song as a slowed down version of "Dirty" by Christina Aguilera. The tears and awe usually start when Sauron's tower comes crashing down, but now I'll only think of Billy Boyd at the dentist with no Novocaine, sweating so much his hobbit feet fell off. Rachel will be pleased to know that Bernard Hill had trouble suspending his disbelief during the lighting of the beacons. "Do they live up there? Have they got little huts?"
In other news, I've only created one Sims family so far *cough* EowynandFaramir *cough*. Eowyn actually has a decent outfit and the correct hair, but Faramir looks more like a cross between Hugh Dancy and the host of While You Were Out. It's taking every bit of strength my laptop has to run the game, but no crashes thus far. Their first child, Boromir, has just learned to walk.
School is decent after two classes. My French professor is distractingly adorable. I just dropped the Tuesday children's library class because I read the syllabus and there is no way I'm preparing a ten minute puppet show for a class of twenty-somethings. I don't even like kids that much. I'd rather go to the dentist without Novocaine. Maybe it will be four classes next quarter instead.
