Elijah Wood - a bit of a weirdo? - Page 11

Entlover · 03-04-2002, 03:18 AM

You're probably right, Gerbil. But I don't think Frank Herbert is a good example of a great writer.
Will you please define "weird"? i think Elijah is weird because he appears to be bright, articulate, empathic, and incredibly talented. Could we say "unusual"? I tried to get my son interested in acting when he was 7 (when Elijah started) and he would only stare at the lights as if stunned. So EW must have something.
How could anyone prefer Sam? The problem with Sam is that the actor who plays him is much more intellligent than Sam is supposed to be.
Samwise, yes I am a Christian, but I'll try not to annoy anyone with it. What are the Redwall books?

Gerbil · 03-04-2002, 07:33 AM

Frank Herbert being a great writer is I suppose totally up to people's opinions and tastes. But he WAS a great visionary - in the same realms as Tolkien and the others I mentioned, that's all

As for Elijah having something, it's commonly known as 'pots of cash'

Here is a question I would like to ask you, why do you think she sounds like a Git in real life? Did you meet her somewere and ask what she if she was a git or what? Are you friends with her? Or did you find a Magazine somewhere that said "Liv Tyler is a git"? Just Wondering.

I have two words for you CBG: TV INTERVIEW!
I've listened to her on TV INTERVIEWS and I can barely HEAR her AND what's more during her interview she only talks about her ears and her elvish lines.
The Redwall Series is this series of books about animals that live in an abbey and have to protect it against all types of evil animals like rats and ferrets. It's a good series.
Gerbil you shoud have discovered by now that I am VERY literally minded. Stuff like that goes straight over my head. And sorry if I sounded like I was being sarcastic(as CBG's post seems to be hinting at as it is as equally sarcastic). It's an end of winter thing I guess.

I love Sam because he is funny, practical, helpful, loyal, loving and an all around awesome guy. While Frodo's worried about the ring and leaving and all (okay, admittedly I would be too...), Sam's getting all the practical things like cooking pots and rope. And all that. *Sigh* I don't know. I just think he's awesome, that's all.

Let me get this straight - you are saying that rodents are evil?

FrodoFriend · 03-05-2002, 10:56 PM

Nooooooo!! Ferrets are NOT evil!! Especially white ones!

Starr Polish · 03-05-2002, 11:25 PM

Actually, almost every animal in the book is a rodent. The abbey is run by mostly mice, so no, not ALL rodents are evil!

Tanoliel · 03-05-2002, 11:26 PM

I love ferrets, too...but it's a redwall thing, they even have a book about it, how they adopt this baby ferret and then he turns out to have to leave because he's inherently violent or something. I haven't read those books in a long time.
I want a ferret! Ferrets are really cool. And special, and nice and wonderful and they don't scratch furniture.

Actually, they might...I'm not sure about that.

<------------------- LOOK! I'm an enting!

(only I sorta liked being a hobbit...oh well. soon i shall be an elven warrior! haha!)

FrodoFriend · 03-05-2002, 11:45 PM

WHITE FERRETS!! They bounce too!! Tee hee.

Starr Polish · 03-05-2002, 11:46 PM

I remember that book, it's my favorite. The ferret's name is Veil, because the badger mother predicted how he would turn out.

Remember though, he's quite like Boromir.

samwise of the shire · 03-06-2002, 07:10 PM

The one about Veil is the Outcast of Redwall. I cry SO hard at the end. But I LOVE the Bellmaker and Marlfox. Those are my FAVORITES! I like Ferrets too. I want to get one someday. Name it Pippin.
DOes anyone know of any magazines where there are interviews with Elijah and all the others? Just wondering

Hey...I second that....I'd like to know too. But if think if you do a search on a good search engine you can find stuff. Or if you go to magazine's websites (www.time.com, i THINK, don't kill me if it's wrong), and search for LOTR interviews, or check the archives.

Gorhiriel · 03-11-2002, 07:48 PM

Gerbil, i most strongly suggest you RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!!!!!

I AM COMING!!!!!! You bag Elijah, you answer to ME!!!

FrodoFriend · 03-12-2002, 12:23 AM

LOL, another one! Our ranks are swelling! Flee, all ye non-fans of Elijah!!

Gerbil · 03-12-2002, 01:22 AM

You think I can't handle you lot?

*squeaks menacingly... sorta*

Tanoliel · 03-12-2002, 02:03 AM

I'd like to hear a menacing squeak....

It...uh...somehow loses something in the translation...
*sQueEeEe* Yahhhh, another ally to our cause...of...um...what really IS our cause, besides defending Elijah so we can drool--uh...*cough* ADMIRE--more freely?

It's implied menace see?
Something so cute turning out to be something so utterly bloodthirsty. Seen Monty Python's Holy Grail? I'm related to the rabbit.
And Elijah WON'T rule forever because I'm going to bite him and he'll die of the black death so :P

FrodoFriend · 03-12-2002, 07:56 PM

Does that mean you're a flea, Gerbil?

It was the fleas that carried the plague, after all.

Gorhiriel · 03-12-2002, 08:04 PM

One word mousie: FLAMETHROWERS!!!!!
Black death my foot: that was wiped out years ago! ELIJAH STILL RULES!!!
