I live on the corner of Grey Street and the End of the World...

I went to see Starsky and Hutch tonight with Dani. Yeah, haven't seen her in ages. If you've seen the original, GO. If you haven't seen the original... go anyway. I LOVED IT! I must have been in a constant state of giggles for the ENTIRE movie, but that was mostly from recognizing the cheese factor from the old show. Ah, I loved it so much. So very much. I haven't laughed that much in a long time, and it felt good. And OH, WILL FERRELL? SCARED THE CRAP OUTTA ME BUT IN AN OH-SO-GOOD KIND OF WAY! OMGA. JUST... YES.

In other news, Kevin was on the Sharon Osbourne Show??? ..... Okay, maybe I'm gonna have to start watching it (read: figure out what bloody channel and time it actually airs, because I have positively no clue), because this is like the 12239471249135th person she's had on that I've been dying to see.

Yeah, not appreciating not being able to post comments in other people's journals LJ, thanks. Get your heads outta your butts and realize that I did NOT select the "live journal user" setting because I'M ALREADY LOGGED IN! *huffy*

So I finished watching the FOTR cast commentary today. Has anyone actually stuck through the fanclub credits? THE HOBBITS, CATE BLANCHETTE, IAN MCKELLEN AND PETER JACKSON ARE MEMBERS OF THE FANCLUB! I found that so awesome I needed to share. And also a little ironic when you think about it. "The director would like to thank himself for all his support..." Ehe. When I saw Sean Astin roll by I did a double-take and looked for anybody else, and those were all I caught. Cute boys. Er, and girl.

Also, Orlando actually said something I found so amusing I actually REWOUND IT TO WATCH IT AGAIN! *GASP* Yes, I know it's a miracle. It was the part about his Lembas commercial? Oh yeah, that was great. The VOICE! "Lembas, one small bite is enough to fill the stomach of a grown man!" Orlando, you said something WITTY! *sniff* I'm... so... proud of you! *tear* Now all I have to do is avoid watching PotC again for a while. ;)

Speaking of Orlando, I have Ned Kelly screencaps. Question: Does anybody actually know what the fuzz this movie's about, or is it just sort of a "OMG ORLI AND HEATH IN A MOVIE 2GETHER! OMG OMG SQUEEEEE!!!!!11!!!1" type thing? Just curious. Also, is it wrong that the sight of Orli wielding a gun makes me laugh out loud? Yeah, that's what I thought. *chuckles*

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - English actress Claire Forlani (news) has signed to join Elijah Wood (news) and Charlie Hunnam (news) in the soccer-themed project "Hooligans."

Set to start shooting this weekend in London, "Hooligans" centers on a Harvard undergraduate (Wood) who moves to London after he is wrongfully expelled from the Ivy League school. Once there, he meets up with a young man (Hunnam) who introduces him to the violent underworld of soccer hooliganism.

Forlani will play the married sister of Wood's character. Marc Warren plays her husband, with Leo Gregory as the best mate of Hunnam's character and Terence Jay as a golden boy at Harvard who sets off the destructive spiral of Wood's character. Lexi Alexander directs.

Forlani's credits include "Northfork," "Meet Joe Black" and "Basquiat."

OH MY WORD, HOW HYSTERICAL IS THAT? I WAS JUST THINKING TO MYSELF LAST NIGHT THAT SHE LOOKS LIKE A FEMALE VERSION OF ELIJAH AND THEY SHOULD ACT TOGETHER SOMETIME! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That's really funny. *wipes away tear*

Jack Black Takes on 'King Kong'. Now THAT is funny, yo.

Holy weird Futurama theme song Batman. *stares* OH! OH THIS IS THE EPISODE WHERE FRY GETS ABDUCTED! HEEEEE! "Hey... HEY, STOP ABDUCTING ME! Um, why does your vanity plate say 'Probe1'???"

"Fry! What in Sega Genesis happened to you?"

"FRY! YOU HAVE NO NOSE! YOUR NOSE IS GONE! THERE'S NO NOSE ON YOUR FACE! Where it is I cannot say, but on your face it is not!"

*dies of shock* You like something Orlando said?!?!?!?! it's official, I'm dead. yep.

Ned Kelly was a real life Australian outlaw in the 1800s. He was an Irish immagrant. Some injustice was done to him or his family (I'm not sure which) and heset out to right the wrongs. In doing so he became an outlaw. He had his group of guys and such. The movie is about his life. Heath Ledger plays Ned Kelly and Orlando plays his best friend. In my oppinion the movie could go one of two ways: be decient or horribly horribly bad. From what I can tell from the screen caps I've seen, Orlando dies. I for one do NOT think he looks hot deceased. However I fully intend on chasing this movie down to see it at least once. Are you suprised by this?

*roots for a harder question*
What Middle-earth miniature was built to a 1/76th scale: Helm's Deep, Barad-dûr or the Cracks of Doom interior?

[lordoflorien.livejournal.com]

I KNOW, ORLI WAS ACTUALLY AMUSING RATHER THAN "*smacks forehead* I can't believe he just said that!"!!!!! Miracles do happen.

Are you suprised by this? No. I figured if anyone knew, you would. Thanks, the story actually sounds interesting. I might have to dig up some info on the actual Ned Kelly and do some reading. *nods*

<--- is a history GEEK.

Barad-dur.

[jedi-bria.livejournal.com]

*is momntarly speechless*

*moment's over*
It sounds like a good story it has potential. But depending on how the movie it was done, it could be good or it could suck.

DOH! *looks for a harder question*
Ya know... I've gone though 61 of 300 cards so far. by the time I actually get to actually PLAY the game, I'll probably know every answer.

What battle gear does the Easterling army at the Black Gate carry in their left hands?

[lordoflorien.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, well that question was sort of a no-brainer. I didn't even have to blink.

Spear or sword. Unless they were holding on to their horns, but I think their horns were slung over their belts weren't they?

[jedi-bria.livejournal.com]

Wrong! Shields

Where does Treebeard carry Merry when he first catches him: on his shoulders, in his left hand or in his right hand?

[lordoflorien.livejournal.com]

Aahhh yes of course, shields are generally held in the left hand so the right is free for sword play huh? For some reason I just saw them marching with their horns and flags or something, but I knew that wasn't right.

When he FIRST catches him? He picks him up with his left hand, Pippin is already in his right.

[jedi-bria.livejournal.com]

CORRECT! (I KNEW you'd get that one right!) In the honor of my new action figure (btw, my finger still hurts):

What is the name of Éowyn’s father, the brother-in-law of Théoden?

[lordoflorien.livejournal.com]

Eomund.

[jedi-bria.livejournal.com]

Correct.

What does the leader of the Uruk-hai captors call the object he swears to deliver to Saruman?

[lordoflorien.livejournal.com]

Hmm... darn extended edition scenes. *reasons it out* He says that Sarumon will get his "prize," is that it?

OOH OOH, he also talks about an elvish weapon his master wants for the war. Or something to that effect. He never gives it a name though, not that I remember.

[jedi-bria.livejournal.com]

*Gapes montarly* I need to locate some harder questions.

What chore is the Hobbit farmer engaged in when startled by a Dark Rider hunting for the ring?

[lordoflorien.livejournal.com]

ROTFL!

Chopping wood.

[jedi-bria.livejournal.com]

*scowls and digs for more questions*

What creature introduced in The Two Towers was designed by artist Daniel Falconer?

[lordoflorien.livejournal.com]

Daniel Falconer? Meh?! Um... okay, not really a LOTR question as much as a WETA question, but I'll take a stab at it...

The Fell Beasts?

[jedi-bria.livejournal.com]

Nope :D Treebeard

making of the movie tupe questions are included in the game as well.

Who are forging armor and weapons at Isengard: the Uruk-hai, Orcs or Trolls?

[lordoflorien.livejournal.com]

Orcs, obviously.

[jedi-bria.livejournal.com]

What Free People of Middle-earth were the most difficult for the moviemakers to portray?

[lordoflorien.livejournal.com]

.... Um.

Which PEOPLE eh? *goes through all the human peoples* I dunno. The Wild Men? The Easterlings? I mean there's really not that many aside from Rohan and Gondor...

[jedi-bria.livejournal.com]

In case you've forgotten, Elrond clearly states that all the Free people of Middle Earth should have a representitive in the fellowship. The options by that standard are: Men, Elves, Hobbits and Dwarves. (And I'm not sure if Istari are included in that or not) So with that information, can you answer the question now?

[lordoflorien.livejournal.com]

Oh. Okay. Thank you then. See, the wording trips me up. For instance, when you gave me the creature question I didn't even CONSIDER Treebeard because I just think of him as a person rather than a creature. You know? So anyway.

Now I've forgotten the question. Which was the hardest to make? Um... Dwarves.

[jedi-bria.livejournal.com]

I'm just copying what's written on the cards. It's hard to find questions for you. My test for them is if I know it then I can't ask you, and If I dont know it, I evaulate how hard it is and then if it passes, I give it to you.

Wrong. Elves.

What siege devices are called pendraith in Elvish?

[lordoflorien.livejournal.com]

That's easy, ladders.

Except it's pendraid, not pendraith.

[jedi-bria.livejournal.com]

Again, I'm just copying the cards.

Who in the Fellowship besides Gimli and Boromir wears armguards when leaving Rivendell?

[lordoflorien.livejournal.com]

I KNOW that, if only because this is not the first time you've said that! I'm simply answering your questions! SHEESH.

Legolas.

[jedi-bria.livejournal.com]

This question is my own. I'm at school and I feel like asking you it instead of waiting to get home to give you the real question.

Which fellowship member gains a pair of armguards by the end of TTT?

[lordoflorien.livejournal.com]

by the end of TTT????? Well it's not the hobbits because Sam and Frodo are in Ithilen still and Merry and Pip are with Treebeard in Isengaurd, Gandalf is robed, Aragorn already garnered Boromir's armbands, Boromir is dead, and Legolas already has armbands, so I guess I have to say Gimli by default. Though I don't recall him receiving any armbands.

[jedi-bria.livejournal.com]

I phrased that badly, but you got it right by accident. I was referring to Aragorn, but I couldn't think of how to word the question. Sorry.

Now for a real question:
What was glued to the oak tree above Bag End: two porcelain song birds, a wooden squirrel or 250,000 hand-painted leaves?

[lordoflorien.livejournal.com]

erm... um... okay. Whatever you say? :P

ROTFL, that is an awesome question. I don't know the answer, but it's an awesome question. Um.... hmmmm... the birds?

[jedi-bria.livejournal.com]

Yea for good questions! The answer is 250,000 hand-painted leaves.

What chatacter in the first movie’s prologue did Gollum’s makeup artist Gino Acevedo play?

PS: the game will have to be suspended for a few days while I'm in NY

[lordoflorien.livejournal.com]

NO FREAKIN WAY! I thought about that one as being the most obvious answer, that's why I discared it. lol, I DON'T REMEMBER ANYTHING ABOUT THEM HAND-PAINTING 250,000 LEAVES! *gawks* Whoa...

Hmm... There were so many random people in the FOTR prologue... (btw, I like how you've reverted completely away from Tolkien questions and into production questions. LOL, too good for you, am I? *bats lashes*) Well I KNOW he wasn't Isildur... so that leaves Elf or Orc. *thinks about it* Or maybe ... no... well maybe... gah, I dunno. He was an Orc. *shrug*

I don't care if the game is suspended indefinitely. You keep yelling at ME that you're gonna have the cards memorized before you ever get to play! :P

[jedi-bria.livejournal.com]

Yea! I managed to stump you on that one *randomally dances around Steve's room, glad no one's home*

It's not that you're too good it's that those are the only ones I don't know the answers to and if I know the answer to something than you DEFENTLY would know the answer to it. He was one of the seven Dwarves. (The EXACT wording is lost at the moment because the card is at home)

You blame me for everything under the sun, I need SOMETHING to blame you for. :) Im meleth le.

Hmm.... Random Bria thought question because I'm bored:

How was the shot of Frodo and Ganfalf on the cart in FotR done?

[lordoflorien.livejournal.com]

You blame me for everything under the sun, I need SOMETHING to blame you for.

WTF??!!!?!?!! ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FREAKIN MIND??????? W.T.F.???? YOU are the one that's always blaming ME for everything under the sun, you freakin' retard! I rarely EVER blame YOU for anything unless it's in retaliation for some HUGEASS JOURNAL ENTRY YOU MAKE in which you manage to blame me for something at LEAST 3 TIMES!!!!! OMG, I CAN'T EVEN BELIEVE I'M ARGUING WITH YOU OVER THIS!!! YOU ARE A TOTAL RETARD!!!!!!

*fumes* It was forced perspective, dumbass.

[jedi-bria.livejournal.com]

*pouts*

*sniffles*

[lordoflorien.livejournal.com]

*crosses arms over chest*

*still feels ofended*

[jedi-bria.livejournal.com]

Im meleth le gwaunig nín.

[iknowitsmad.livejournal.com]

Has anyone actually stuck through the fanclub credits? THE HOBBITS, CATE BLANCHETTE, IAN MCKELLEN AND PETER JACKSON ARE MEMBERS OF THE FANCLUB!

And I have to add that Elijah was the first member of the fanclub. :)

[lordoflorien.livejournal.com]

Really? I would have guessed PJ myself. Awww, cute ikle elikah. *hugs him*

[iknowitsmad.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you would think it would be PJ, but nope. I read that in an article a while back.
