Firstly, I’d like to take a little time to berate myself for not seeing this movie in a theater–
Biggirl, you money-grubbing, wait-for-the-DVD, cheap so and so. God, you are pathetic. Never ever let your children pick what movie to go to. You idiot!
Secondly, Hotcha! Men in tights-- whoda thunk?
Now I’ve heard certain members of this board go on (and on) about Elijah Woods. Not for me. Maybe if I was twelve those glistening, soulful eyes, that strangly small head sitting atop that even more strangly thick neck and those rosy-pink cheeks would have moved me carnally. Since I’m not twelve, give me doofy, dumb Samwise any day. There’s a good boy Sammy-- now get me a beer.
I think I’m the only person on this side of middle-earth who would choose Borimir over Aragon. Not that I’d kick Aragon outta my bed- let’s not get ridiculous here- but Sean Bean just hits the right spot for me in spite of his silly name. Plus, there’s something about a redeemed man that makes him so much more interesting than a Hero.
However, for good old fashioned, panty-dropping, honey-get-the-firehouse-'cause-I’m-burning-up lust, nobody beats Legolas. Oh yeah. You, with your pointy ears and elvish hotness, shoot me with your arrows of love!
Thirdly, I don’t care whether he’s playing walking, talking software or an Elvish King, I’d rather wake up next to a gekko than that grinning skull head of Hugo Weaving. He scares me.
You aren’t alone, I’d pick Borimir over Aragon too- I thought he was a much more interesting character(and more attractive!) I agree with you about Legolas too- will he have more lines in the other movies?- and was bitterly disappointed to see what he looks like outside the LOTR movies. Oh well, there are two more movies to enjoy that lovely blond hair in. I don’t suppose anyone would find it suprising that I liked the elf best, lol.
My best friend, though, isn’t 12 (she’s 23) and drools over Frodo. She has weird taste in guys.
Actual telephone conversation I just had with my husband:
Him: Go out for dinner and rent a movie tonight?
Me: No, I wanna see LOTR again. I’m in love with Legolas.
Him: Is he not cool? He was hitting people with those arrows-- like bullets, man. They were dead before they even knew what hit them!
Me:No, I want to have his children.
Him: He was great in the books, I don’t know why your so surprised.
Me: So, we’ll watch it again.
Him: Man, that ogre was shocked, he was so dead.
Me: Yes, I see you love him too.
Him: I’ll pick us up some beer.
I swear, that was the actual conversation. I don’t think my husband was really listening to me because he was so hot for Legolas-- in a totally het kinda brutish way.

Amen to that Sistah! Legolas is such a hottie. There something about that long blonde hair and pointy ears that just makes me scream . I too like Orlando Bloom much more dressed as an elf than not. If I ever got with him, I’d demand he gets all decked out in his Legolas outfit. However, as far as the human scene goes. I’m all about Aragorn. I dunno…yeah he looks incredibly dirty in the movie, but he’s a ranger, and I have a thing for fantasy character Rangers. Maybe there’s a psychological connection here…I always play an elven ranger in my rpg games…hmmm…
You’re right, Biggirl, you should have seen it in on the big screen. All that eye candy action was even more overwhelming.
Although I find the guys in LOTR you listed every bit as hot as you do, I’m a sucker for a Shakespearean actor with a meltingly warm voice and a tremendous presence. So, even though he plays for the other team, I could listen to Ian McKellan’s voice all day. All the while looking at Orlando Bloom and Sean Bean, of course!
N.B.: Legolas at Helm’s Deep is going to get major camera time, I’m predicting. We’ll be seeing lots more of him.
Don’t go dissin’ Hugo, he in Three (and eventually at least five) of my favorite movies, including The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, Bedrooms & Hallways, and The Fellowship of the Ring.
Legolas is a touch too pretty for my taste, but Aragorn and Boromir can look me up any time. And Merry and Pippin would be a blast to hang out with. Hell, any movie that can make hobbits remotely sexy is definitely worthy. And, yeah, arisu, nothing does it for me like swordplay. Buckle that swash, boys!
And Aragorn over Boromir, but it’s close - very close.
It’s the combination. He’d be amazing without the bow, but the the fight with the cave troll… melt
Plus, there was someone in the Two Towers trailer - was it Eomer, or someone else? (I need to re-read the books again) December… big screen…
Orlando Bloom looks nothing like Legolas. He looks like. . .like. . . Pacey from Dawson’s Creek! It’s more than the hair, it looks like he rearranged his bone structure or something.
Sorry about Hugo Homie, but that guy seriously freaks me out. Every time he speaks on screen I expect a long, green forked tongue to come slithering out of his mouth.
Oh! Long, forked tongue! It’s giving me ideas!
And as for the Urukai-- just imagining the nasty hot breath coming out of that rotten mouth is enough to make me give up sex for, I dunno, at least a few hours.
Another thought just hit me. How 'bout Aragon and Borimor— at the same time!
Okay, I’ll admit to being something of a Frodo lover. I don’t even really mind the neck thing much. In fact I’ll take the whole set of hobbits. They’re all pretty cute.
(One odd thing is that Elijah Wood doesn’t really look all that much like Frodo, really.)
Aragorn does it for me, too, though–just so you don’t think I’m too weird. Especially that evil little smile just before he goes postal on someone, or an army of someones.
