Yeah - he's not the funny guy... He's the quiet angst-ridden type that I have fallen for before. They aren't as much fun as the funny guy, but the anticipation of wondering what they may say when they finally talk is exciting in its own way.

And I thought the book Aragorn was kinda whiny at Bree his little "a lonely ranger sometimes just wants to be loved for who he is" speech when trying to convince the hobbits to take him in.... Jeepers. Broken sword... How useful is that?

The movie Aragorn at Bree - Well, he knocked my socks off! - Okay then! - Here's a able good lookin' mercenary type I would want to have around if I were 3 feet tall and had the spawn of the devil after me!

Shave and a Haircut

[HairOfTheDog]

He needs a shower and shave...

The easiest flaw in the world to fix. More troublesome to my Dad than the haircut would be his apparent lack of a job of any kind. I am not sure if Dad would believe the line about some king-thing he has lined up.

I think Elrond was smart to make Arwen wait till the thing panned out.

Yep...he's a good warrior (a VERY good warrior), no question about that.

Did he have to be so brutal with Frodo, though? Poor little chap...

I love Sam's reaction. We rewound that a coupla times the first time through the DVD. That and Aragorn saying "Mister Underhill"...Viggo kind of lost his accent for a second. Early on in the filming, I would guess? The kids thought it was a hoot, for whatever reason.

[g'nad]

It tricks us...we were busy flaming on another thread!...nasty wicked hobbitses...

Oh sure, 3,000 years after squishing at the Cracks of Doom, now he decides to be cautious...

[Corin Stormhands]

Viggo kind of lost his accent for a second.

I missed that. But maybe in "public" he was hiding an accent? I'll have to watch it again (oh shucks!)

After browsing through most of this thread since its inception and throwing a bone or two out every now and then, and seeing the latest discussion of Aragon; I just have to ask who if not Viggo should be Aragon? I don't remember this coming up before so sorry if I missed it. So let us discus it past actors or present.

I would like to go back a few years and say that when I read the story I always envisioned a Randolf Scott sort as Aragon, tall, quiet, but a strength underneath, not particularly muscular looking,but not one to mess with. Another that comes to mind is Buster Crabbe (the old Flash Gordon serials). I can't think of any recent actors that I can nominate, but I don't see that many movies to draw from these days.

Note I am just thinking looks in these two suggestions. I don't know if the voices would work or not.

If we could have gotten Gary Cooper to grow his hair out some.....

And who the heck was Glorfindel anyway?? Pantywaste if you ask me!!! He put Frodo on a horse and sent him forward to meet up with the Black Riders ALONE!!!!!. STUPID Elf, if you ask me. Why didn't you ping me and let me know the elf bashing had started?

ROFLMAO!! Not just any elf! THAT elf! Although someone did have an excellent point about making the burden of the horse lighter...but still, was that really a smart thing to do??? Why didn't he have a second horse? How much heavier would it have been to have a three foot high hobbit on with him...and why didnt he try to tackle some of the Wraiths himself???

I had to laugh about Arwen's line at the ford being cheesy. No more cheesy than the Texians at Gonzales telling the Mexicans to come and take the cannons! I rather appreciate that a female elf said that to the wraiths. It spoke to the fact that an elf has powers and strengths that a mere mortal would not, even if she *is* just a girl.

Best regards to all!

Did he have to be so brutal with Frodo, though? Poor little chap...

*I* think he did. Even without Pippin blowing their cover, Frodo did not really seem to have much clue as to just how far behind the Shire was...and that Bree was on the edge of the frontier...and the fact that he had the Ring lose showed that Frodo was not exactly taking his guardianship of the Ring all that seriously as well. Pippin can be forgiven for his youth and ignorance. Frodo, however, needed to be shaken into reality, because Aragorn knew that Frodo knew EXACTLY what he was dealing with and was not taking the necessary precautions. I think the roughing up was necessary to let ALL the hobbits know this was not a stroll through the countryside ANY MORE.

[Alkhin]

I meant to say "he had the Ring LOOSE and unchained to prevent it from being lost and was playing with it."

...who if not Viggo should be Aragon?

Arwen my love! I do not know what strength lies een my blood, but eef eet lies witheen my powair I will claim zee throne of Gondor. Then we will spend zee rest of our lives een eternal bliss, togezhair.

[Corin Stormhands]

Well, since Aragorn never seems to shower, that "Le Pew" part would work...
