[stone of vision]

Hi guinevere! <BR> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> I haven`t got the DVD yet (am waiting for the director`s cut in nov.) but just 2 weeks ago I saw the movie in the cinema again (for the 5th time! And it`s STILL running now.) <BR>The effect in the cinema is just more overwhelming, I`m not aware of myself anymore. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>Hey, you are lucky! LOTR movie .... and STILL on MOVIE! wow!<BR>I bless dvd tech though, it really allows me to notice details i've missed in the movie since we are so caught by it, right <BR>What i like most is to pause on " them eyes" for example, or rewind endlessly certains scenes, i'm such a freak totally addicted to lotr! lol!<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>And I love Gandalf, too! Ian McKellen is just perfect! <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>Speaking about the casting , i ran across a mail from another LOTR fan about a casting in 1999, tell me you think of it?<BR>I admit it make me really laugh ( with all the respect i have for thoses wonderful actors below) hahaha!<P>Gandalf: Sean Connery<BR>> Aragorn: Sam Neil<BR>> Legolas: Liam Neeson<BR>> Elrond: Daniel Day Lewis<BR>> Arwen: Finola Hughes<BR>> Sauraman: Malcolm McDowell<BR>> Denethor: Anthony Hopkins<BR>> Grima Wormtongue: Anders Hove<BR>> Theodan Alec Guiness<BR>> Galadriel:Emma Thompson<BR>> Bilbo: Dudley Moore<BR>> Eowyn: Kate Winslet<BR>> Farimir:Gabriel Byrne<P>You are absolutly right, Ian is being perfect and did a real great job protraying the grey pilgrim! <BR>I like the scene when Gandalf is entering Bag End bent, trying not break the the lustrum or anything and then bumped into the ceiling. <BR>The way he looked at the hobbits with this amusing glance, but sure he is having as much fun as they are at the Bilbo's party!<BR>One of my favorite moment is the Gandalf's JIG?!!! among the dancing pairs of hobbits, mmmh yeah, Gandalf is a star dancer!lol
