Lord of the Rings - help needed (vanity)

[hispanichoosier]

I need help with LOTR. Two friends and I were discussing the books and movies last weekend. Friend 1 observed that the relationship between Frodo and Sam (in the movies) had homosexual overtones. Friend 2 retorted that the relationship is based on the master/servant relationship of old England and that Friend 1 was looking at it through American eyes, where rugged individualism is more prized. I--caught in the middle--had to admit that I thought that Sean Astin overplayed Sam at times but was great overall.

So, was Friend 1 right about the gay overtones, or was Friend 2's explanation correct? I'm rather at a loss over the whole debacle.

OH you missed it?!

who can't believe someone would miss the sight of a hobbit in Gondorian armor...but that's just me... LOL :D

We often check a movie out of the library 4 or 5 times before I see the whole thing. When I can actually sit down and watch something (after all the kids are out of the way) I tend to fall asleep.

I hear ya loud and clear! LOL I havent seen too many movies myself. Sometimes I have to tell the child "go play in your room for two hours, okay?" because that is the only way I will get any peace to watch what I want.

:D

Nope, it only kept Bilbo young because he wore it on his person so much of the time, and used it quite a bit. Not so with Frodo.

I could have sworn that Gandalf comes back and is surprised that Frodo hasn't aged.

[stands2reason]

That's not what I meant!

Oh, well, excuse me while I slink away now...

You must be related to my husband.

Halfway through a movie, I often have to say, "WAKE UP! Okay, now how far do I have to rewind it?

[stands2reason]

Did the pics show up? :-)

[stands2reason]

Of course, you haven't really heard Billy sing until you've heard him sing "Hit Me Baby One More Time" while playing along on the guitar. :-)

Don't be so rash. I was just kidding.

I could give a pinch of monkey crap about any homo overtones in that movie.

Great story.....yeah....but too much marching for me.

[carolinacrazy]

And I won't imagine.... I'd rather be in my head than yours.

Well.....bye.

Next time keep it inside your own head and shut the hell up.

[HairOfTheDog]

Heh.... You're getting less and less witty with every post.

[carolinacrazy]

Heh.... You're getting less and less witty with every post.

Dooood, this is not witty banter by any means, and was not intended to be.

I just think it is a little funny when people get so wrapped up in their feature films.

Oh Hair of the dogs-ass, kiss me you fool.

[HairOfTheDog]

I'd happily kiss either one of them.

[HairOfTheDog]

errrr.... if my husband doesn't mind.

[cyborg]

Funniest exchange.ever.

The Gay Question

[carolinacrazy]

I'm not sure it is worthy of that.

[carolinacrazy]

Huuuuhh.....(taken back a gasp)....you never told me you were married.

Shame on you.

[HairOfTheDog]

I dunno.... I've had funnier exchanges while having a pap smear ;~D
