<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Actually quite interesting, Lyta. If it can be felt... <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Actually, that is a VERY scary thought! Hmmmmmmm....don't need nightmares...don't need nightmares...go away, nightmares! <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>I completely agree. And was also pleasantly surprised with Miss Tyler's performance; she and Mortenson speak elvish quite nicely. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> I did read one analysis of how Elvish was pronounced in the movies some time ago, and I believe the writer gave Hugo Weaving the laurels for that one, although Sir Ian got honorable mention as well. He beefed on Cate Blanchett for leaving out a syllable in E-a-ren-dil...but, then again, none of these people are native speakers of Quenya or Sindarin! Viggo and Liv always spoke so softly, so I couldn't make out what they said a lot of the time, but it wouldn't have made sense to me anyway! I do like the Bruinen raising Liv did, although I'm still mad at them for draining poor Frodo of his power in that scene! Enough of my complaining! Enjoy!Cheers, Lyta
