h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Better than being a tough cookie.

so we have a lemon, a potato & a cookie watching the LOTR DVDs?

And a sheep? Sorry to butt in but can I join in too? But only if you become the 'We like Legolas League'. I won't go as far as LOVE Legolas because Wonderful will kill me.

Did anyone else think that elijah wood looked like a plastic figure all the way through the film? Plus his eyes are FAR too big for his head.

Hmm, mayb, i want to rewatch the film now, pay more attenton to litle details.

O and Laura, of course can watch the film, just Legolas isnt interested in relationships with

i did notice his massive eyes actually! i liked the way they did sam. thats how i imagined him (more or less). Go Samwise!

His eyes were rather large... but I saw that as an asset to his part It gives him the innocent, uncorrupted, cheery look that I find characteristic of Hobbits, especially since the movie doesn't have the time to build up the quaint little shire

Yeah they do say that a baby face is the most believeable and lovble, big eyes, lips etc, pronouced but not harsh features. They were portrayed well though, they looked harmless, afraid and in need of help.

Frodo looked like he might start crying at any moment. His face had that sort of smoothness to it.

am i the only 1 who thought 'woah, freaky!' when i saw it?


ok, i dint feel that strongly about it. rather i noticed it as an oddity, not am asset

I din't notice it at all. I guess it just added to the whole object that was his face.

It wasnt somethign that I picked up on, but as I said i would like to see it again to pick up the details.

The best films in the world are the ones you can see over and over again, because they have so much detail. It works especially with comedy, but other film types have it as well.

"other film types" ie this 1!

In fact, whodunits sort of depend on it.

Like the Usual Suspects. You have to watch it once to find out who it was, and then again to see how it all fits in.

Yes but the prob with whodunnits are that once you know who it is, you know who it is.

Yeah but the thing about the Usual Suspects is that it's such a shock when you find out that you just HAVE to watch it again! Plus it's just an all round damn good film.

Hear hear

But are we not drifting away from relevence to Tolkin and the flaws of Legolas here?
