I'm having scary visions of Fordim hanging around security at an Aerosmith show and begging them for a laminate so he can go backstage and 'meet the band'...

I've got a Saruman poster hanging right above my PC - not pretty at all. Now, surely this can't be called 'girlie'? Well, apart from Christopher Lee's false nails...

A delightfully eccentric friend of mine has a rather bizarre fan-lady thing for Gollum. I bought her a postcard of him and she said 'Oh, I wish he was real. I want to marry Gollum'. Now, I think Gollum may be one of my favourite characters, but....

I'm not so far gone that I would seek to become a full-blown groupie for The Smith.

Now KISS, on the other hand. . .

"YOU WANTED THE BEST. YOU'VE GOT THE BEST. THE HOTTEST ROCK AND ROLL BAND IN THE WORLD!!!!!"

Well I am at college, so I didn't bring any of my posters because of this exact reason. I do though have a ton of little LOTR things that I brought with me (bookmarks, pins, keychain, lanyard, etc.).

But I completely understand what all the other young girls on this board have been going through. In some ways the LOTR has been hijacked by the people who went straight from Titanic, to boybands, to LOTR. So thus all of us who are not those type of people, who are the people who enjoy the films, but are primarly into the books are instantly being labeled. And, yes, this does make me angry

(well maybe not that angry)

But, yes, just ignore them. Whip out your copy of the Sil and just walk away

Fordie, the ultimate KISS Mary-Sue Fangirl. I heard him squeal, I did.

Well, at least the polystone bust business is fair! Yay for small Grima statues! And yes, the orc poster is worse...

It's not Orlando's fault that his character was dumbed down (which I don't think it was but whatever). Elves are beautiful. That's all there is to it.

Yes, I've been thinking about this and all I can say is "Poor book-Legolas." He was not all that important, but I love the part in which he "goes to find the sun." Book-Legolas is deadly, elegant, and thinks rather a bit too highly of himself. We should start a support group for poor neglected Book-Legolas.

The awesome thing would be that if we did that, there would be no girly fangirl-types squealing about how hot he is, because he doesn't have a face! Well...I'm sure he does, but they don't know what it looks like.

Encaitare · 09-10-2004, 03:37 PM

Indeed, MadBaggins! Then we could go all fangirl on Book-Legolas and squeal, "He goes to find the sun! How hot is that?? Squeeeee!"

Just like that.
