Funny how Colson didn't mention the drivel coming out of Viggo Mortenson's mouth at the CANSWER rallies, or the long and uncalled for anti-war rant on the latest box set, nor about how the guy that played Gandalf thought Sam and Frodo's relationship was a good thing for "gay rights."

It's a "silver lining" thing, I guess. Besides, Viggo "GI Jane" Mortensen will be lucky if he has half the career that John Rhys-Davies has had, since he's not even half the actor that Rhys-Davies is - of all the performances in those movies thus far, Viggo's is clearly the weakest. He is adequate, at best, and I don't think the hype about him becoming a major-league leading man is likely to pan out. Ian McKellen, on the other hand...well, sometimes you gotta separate the politics from the profession ;)

Chuck is trying to focus on the fact that at least one of the actors "gets it."

"There is good in this world, and it's something worth fighting for".

"There are other forces at work in this world, Sauropod, besides the will of evil. John was meant to play the Dwarf, in which case, you also were meant to watch the movie, and that is an encouraging thought."

Notice that niether Vigo nor Ian were on the commentary for the second movie. Notice also that Sean did aknowledge there are things worth fighting for, he just wants to avoid fighting with war, and that's not such a bad thing war is a good thing to avoid when possible.

Colson and John Rhys-Davies are trying to ~answer~ that.

As I read your post, a thought immediately occurred: "So what?"
