Ian McKellen, Andy Serkis and Hugo Weaving

Gandalf, Gollum and Elrond, respectively

Ian McKellen is an uber-lib
Gollum is a CGI character and can be played by anyone
Elrond is a much younger character in the Hobbit and can be played by someone else

Screw em. Screw em all. On with the movie Mr. Jackson.

“Elrond is a much younger character in the Hobbit and can be played by someone else”

I wouldn’t say *much* younger; he is a half-elf, after all, and sixty years to an elf is less time in its reckoning than it is for a human.

Yea, but nobody can make Elrond SOUND like Hugo Weaving. That guy’s voice is a mischevious musical instrument.

Right. 5960 or so instead of 6000.

That's gonna make a big difference.

Same applies to Gandalf, Arwen, etc.

Ian McKellen boasted of desecrating hotel bibles because of his stance on homosexuality against the biblical writings on it.

Why didn’t President Obama condemn his activities as he did the pastor who threatened to burn a koran? At least the pastor was vandalizing someone else’s property.
