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.

Hmm - I could be wrong. I've been known to be!

Um, I just looked at your homepage.

I now fear for all people who desecrate the hobbit.

~looks sideways~

What do you ~mean~?

[carolinacrazy]

LOL!

[Alkhin]

WHEN DID YOU GET TO HEAR THAT?!?!

would love to hear him sing more

do you know if he still talks of rooming with Dom here in the states? When they first talked about doing that after filming LOTR, my first thoughts were "Dom is gonna drag Billy down." Dom might do better staying in the UK.

If a certain someone HAD watched the movie, they might well learn what happens to CAVEcarolinacrazyTROLLS when they bust in on an other wise private discussion.

sheesh. seems like some are more obsessed with harrassing those who are actually passionate about something.

[Alkhin]

Did the pics show up? :-)

yes, and my dog wants to growl at you for the sudden weight of a body falling in a big THUD! directly on top of him as he lay peacefully next to my chair, doin' nuttin' to nobody!!

I thought Dom was living with Elijah.

But I believe he's in Hawaii now with LOST.

I thought Billy was happy in Scotland with his girlfriend. But what do I know?

I have Billeh singing "Hit Me" on MP3. If you want, Freepmail me your email addy and I'll send it to ya. And more pics, if you'd like.

[stands2reason]

Awww, man, you snagged The Tronz?

How cool is that? I'm sooo jealous! :-)

[cyborg]

*lol* Isn't it cool? I sent him to sleep and I'm still awake. past my bedtime.

[Petronski]

I'm deeply flattered by your comments...but more importantly, by being 'landed' by cyborg. ;O)

[Petronski]

Heh ha!
