Frodo: Please, what does it always mean, this... this "Aragorn"?
Elrond: That's his name. Aragorn, son of Arathorn.
Aragorn: I like "Strider."
Elrond: We named the *dog* "Strider".
A discussion of Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King. If you're a pervy hobbit fancier, this is the place for you.
Well, you can't take a whole army of dwarves with you, when you go tramping around Rhovanion. Kind of conspicuous. Also, he would need a rhyme-y partner to go with him -- only the kings of dwarves get away with not having a rhyme-y partner.
showed Hugo Weaving in a blond wig. It was positively hideous.
Er, my (admittedly vague) memory of Hugo Weaving is that he
is
blond. Or anyway, sandy-haired. Although NSM with the long and Pantene-ed locks.
In Priscilla, (when he wasn't in drag), his hair was a kind of highlight-y medium brown. It looked natural to me, but it's been a while since I've seen it.
I cannot tell you how much it hurt my brain to see
Priscilla
for the first time in several years, after
Matrix
had come out.
I was sitting there, already knowing Terrence Stamp was in it, then Guy's Character came onscreen and I was all like "Hey, Guy Pierce, cool! He was nobody out here when I first saw this movie, how cute. Wait a minute.... How come that other guy is so familliar? Where do I know him from? He's so famil... Oh. My. God."
It was pretty funny.
You HAVE seen my Math of Hugo Weaving icon, yes?
So, before Thranduil was King of Mirkwood was he one of Thingol's people?
According to Foster's Complete Guide to ME (I can't acually remember this stuff, so I keep a reference handy - my geekiness generally consiste of saying "Oh, yes, I think I remember something like that" when someone else mentions important details. I'm very good at the supporting nodding), Thranduil lived in Lindon before establishing his kingdom, that would put him under Gil-Galad? He does seem like the type to hang out with Thingol, though. Hm, handy reference not so useful.
Anyway, I just found out that Elijah will reign o'er Bacchus and Dom will be king of Orpheus this year. Yay hobbit Mardi Gras confluence.
Gil-Galad didn't rule until after the death of his father -- I don't know when that was.
