Left out Lines from FotR

TinuvielChild · 09-25-2002, 10:25 PM

heeheehee- I was just rereading FotR, and I came across a line that would have been absolutely priceless, had PJ left it in:

"Ai! Ai!" wailed Legolas. "A Balrog! A Balrog is come!"

Can't you just see Orlando Bloom wailing? Ooooh, I would have paid good money to see that...oh wait, I did, and he didn't. Oh well. Anyone else got funny/cool/favorite lines that were left out?

(BESIDES "Come back! Come back! To Mordor we will take you!" and "You shall have neither the ring nor me!" and associated lines

)

Hmm...you are talking nonsense about Legolas, which is annoying to those who don't care, but at the same time, you are talking about rereading FotR, which is always a good thing. My feelings seem to be conflicting.

What would Jesus do?

Probably bore us to death with a lot of sermonizing...

"It is also, if I may be allowed to refer to ancient history, the anniversary of my arrival by barrel to Esgaroth on the Long Lake; though the fact that it was my birthday slipped my memory on that occasion..."

It would have been funny to leave in because it was long and too slow for the action film pace of the movie.

Ummmm, Cirdan? Could you please not joke like that?

I liked the lines between Sam and Merry; Sam mentions something about how Galadriel had spoken to him in his mind, and then trails off, and Merry says,"Well I hope it was nothing more that a dasteredly plot to steal my blankets in the night."

And other silly dialogues like that....
