I'm not the only one whose imagination fills in things like that... Although they are usually quite hilarious...Okay, I don't know how this is going to turn out, I am laughing as I type it... These get me every single time: 1. Everything Aragorn says in the Council of Elrond up until "...You have my sword." sounds like he's either just sucked the helium out of a balloon, or is stifling a burp or something. My should-have-been-twin little brother comes in all the time when I least expect it and does his great helium voice and says "You have my sword" or "You cannot wield it! None of us can!" and his favourite, dispite my continuing attempts to convince him that Aragorn has no line at all like it is this: "I will take the ring to Mordor!" He usually paralyzes me for about five minutes with laughter.2. Once, I was watching FotR:EE with my Dad and best not-quite-as-obsessed-as-I friend, we were watching the scene just after the Council where Elrond is bidding everyone goodbye. Right at the end of that scene where Aragorn and Arwen exchange looks a few times my Dad filled in the conversation: *Stark white Arwen gazes pitifully at Aragorn* My dad says: "I'm not gonna cry, I'm not gonna cry!" *Aragorn gazes back a moment, then gives a nice twitch of a lopsided smile* My dad, just as he smiles: "You're gonna cry." Ah, we lost it, we were laughing so hard! Ever since then, I can't watch that without cracking up. 3. I don't know why, but every time I see Frodo's feet as he is coming down the stairs to the Mirror of Galadriel, I laugh. 4. There were a few lines that were a bit iffy, sort of modern, so they didn't quite fit. The two that are currently most prominent are Sauron's "I see you." in Bree, and Aragorn's "Let's hunt some orc!" at the end of FotR. They just breach too many gaps, and instead of being dramatic, they are funny. 5. Last one, I promise. On Caradhras, in the blizzard, when Aragorn yells "This will be the death of the Halflings!" etc. He has snow stuck in his nose! I think I might be the only one, but I always laugh right there.Okay, sorry it was so long. I hope it's intelligible. I'm still laughing.. [ August 10, 2003: Message edited by: Arwen Eruantale ]
