Ol' EW does bear a bit of a resemblance to Boromir (+ Bleach).

BITE YOUR TONGUE!! EW (ewww!)cannot hold a condle to Sean Bean!! I'm getting one of the "Sharpe" DVDs next week; Sean Bean as Richard Sharpe, a Rifleman in the British Army during the Napoleanic War. I've read all the books and can't wait to see the film versions. Of course Sean Bean being in the role may have a tiny bit to do with it!

Well, it is refreshing around here to have someone who has a crush on something HUMAN!

(other than myself vis-a-vis Ms. Evenstar, that is)

I'm very glad that you, too, don't think it's the Orcs that are "cute".

But I did notice the typo "condle" (for candle) and did have to wonder if that was something...uh...Freudian...as in candle+fondle=condle...as in Mr. Boromir, that is...

OK...before I'm descended upon...Arwen is an Elf, not human.

If it's close enough for Aragorn, it's close enough for me (especially when she wears a gown like the one in Hair's spoiler photos today).

I prefer Galadriel to Arwen... I guess I prefer the dawn to the evening...

Which is weird, 'cause usually I'm a night owl.

And since Elrond is only half-elven... she is mixed anyway.

Yeah, she's biracial!

Here's a nice sunset for bedtime... and for those who won't see it until morning, just spin it around 180 degrees and it works as a sunrise...

I prefer Galadriel to Arwen

I found an artile about special effects, cut scenes and what not at imladris.net. Here's an excert:
There was a hilarious scene in the hall of Meduseld, where Aragorn sombrely warns Theoden, who is brooding in the foreground, “They will take you in a little room, my lord, and scan your very skull. They will make small toys of you, that children may play stupid games.” (Theoden cracked up at this point).

Viggo was cautious about his digital double and stipulated carefully what it could be used for and what not. This was wise, as bored animators can get one's digital double into all sorts of trouble…

The doubles were made by scanning actors in their full costume and makeup. Some were much harder than others, with no one really understanding why. It was impossible to make a convincing digital double of Elijah, for example. The doubles were mainly used for populating far-away miniature shots, e.g. running over the bridge of Khazad-dum, and walking up the stairs into Lothlorien.

Well, since you're a fiddler, I guess you WOULD be a fan of hers!

I hadn't even thought about that - I've only been fiddlin' for four months (well...since the beginning of April) and I've been a fan of hers for MUCH longer, so that hadn't factored into it...

But now I have yet ANOTHER reason to like her! I should relisten to some of her CDs and concentrate more on the fiddle parts, no?

Well that's some mighty fine fiddle playin!!

Thanks! I tend to hear my own mistakes rather than the music when I listen to it...my brother plays it sooooo much better than I do! (On the other hand, I couldn't have played that at ALL a few months ago!)

I'd love to hear a duet with you and 2JsMom

You missed our chat the other day - we did just that! I sent a recording of a song we both know to 2J, and she played along with it in the Yahoo chat room. Worked out great!
