Oh, damn. He'd have been a brilliant Uruk Hai. I think the absence of Lurtz (or a Lurtzalike) was a negative in TTT.
Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

LotR - The Return of the King: "We named the *dog* 'Strider'".
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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I'm curious as to which role Kylie auditioned for.
The green fairy?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I shudder to imagine Vin Diesel's attempt at an English accent. Like trying to imagine Rambo with an English accent, only without the funny.
Kylie Minogue, whatever, she's a twit, but at least she's a Commonwealth twit.

I'm seeing Vin as Faramir with the Tony Curtis "Yondah is da castle of mah faddah" thing going on. It's kinda working for me.

I prefer to think of Vin as Sam.

Okay, didn't see that one coming. Share?
Vin excells in the kicking of ass roles, so I figured to play to his strengths.

Ahh. Perhaps he has run down to the entrance to Rivendell, hastily half-dressed? A light rain is falling, and he needs to read a message, so dons Bilbo's glasses?

Hell, the absence of Lurtz is a negative in any number of movies. Starting with every Star Wars after Empire, and continuing through to The Shawshank Redemption.

Some doof challenged me on my love of Lurtz. I told him to look around my desk, where he's only outnumbered by Legolas, and that's more a function of calendar makers than anything else.
Whee!
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King has become the second film in history to earn more than $1 billion worldwide, reaching that level during its tenth week of release, one week faster than Titanic (which went on to earn $1.8 billion).
