Me and my friend call it his commercial for Herbal Essence. <P>In almost every scene with Pippin, he's wearing his scarf! Whether it's tied around his neck or just hanging there, he's almost always got it on. <P>Then there's Pippin abuse, which is different from what you guys are talking about (in a way). There are many instances of it. <BR>The first is when Pippin yells "Mushrooms!" and Sam and Merry push him down when he tries to get up to get the mushrooms. <BR>Next there's the scene when Aragorn hits Pippin in the head with the apple. <BR>Then on the EE, Pippin falls into the Midgewater Marshes (though that was actually of his own doing ). <BR>The next part is when Boromir cuts Pippin's hand when they're practicing sword-fighting. <BR>Then we arrive at the scene where Pippin gets the most abuse: outside the gates of Moria. Gandalf snaps at him on the EE, then Merry starts throwing rocks in the water. When Pippin goes to throw a rock, Aragorn grabs his arm and tells him not to, though it was Merry doing it the whole time! <BR>Then Pippin almost falls down the stairs in Moria, and Merry scolds him and, uh, yeah....<BR>Now is the scene that is most obvious, when Gandalf says, "Fool of a Took!" <BR>Finally is the scene when the troll stabs Frodo, and Merry and Pippin jump on its back. It grabs Merry and throws him off, then later Pippin gets flung off when Legolas shoots it in the throat. But no one goes to see if either of them are all right...<P>Some of these scenes are pure accident, like when he gets hit in the head with the apple and falls in the swamp, but really, why do they all pick on Pippin? I swear he's gonna have issues by the time ROTK is over.

Oh, if you want to see some SERIOUS Pippin abuse, read some of the entries in <A HREF="http://forum.barrowdowns.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=17&t=000678" TARGET=_blank>New Movie Script</A> from Moria on.<p>[ August 20, 2003: Message edited by: Meneltarmacil ]

Wow-I never noticed just how much Pippin abuse there truely is in this world... We'll have to start a charity or 1-800 hotline or something <P>For some reason, whenever I see that first shot of Rivendell after Frodo's better-complete with the harp melody- I feel like the word "Rivendell" is going to appear in a swirling script, like in a video game...

I think it is hysterical the look aragorn gives gandalf in moria when he said "Swords are no more use here" and pushes aragorn<BR>Aragorn gives him a look like, "who the **** do you think you are pushing"

Meneltarmacil!<BR>Yeah! Someone else said something about it! The scream from Star Wars and Indiana Jones. That scream is Ben Burt's, the sound guy's, signature. He puts it in every movie he works on. Since he obviously worked on TTT, I'm guessing he worked on FotR, but I can't find the scream in FotR. It might be one of the screams you hear from one of the people that Sauron smacks with his mace in the prolouge, but I'm not sure...it doesn't sound like an orc scream, so the prolouge is about the only place he could put it. Has anyone heard it in FotR?

What always craks me up is in TTT when the fellowship walks into the Golden Hall. Gandalf uses hs staff as a walking stick and Legolas holds his arm.LOL! It's as if hes(Gandalf) a frgile old man(well tahts tyhe point). It also looks like Legolas is so proud to hold his arm. You see Legolas is a good actor (not talking about Orli...even though he is).

Here's something I noticed in Towers. It's not really funny, but I thought it was interesting...<P>In the cutaway scene to Rivendell, when Arwen and Elrond are talking, Elrond says something like, "There's nothing left for you here." Arwen replies, "There is still hope." <P>A line demontrating that Arwen has not given up on Middle-earth quite yet, right? Maybe not. Didn't Aragorn used to be called Estel? And that is the Sindarin word for hope. Just a thought. <P>Abedithon le,<P>~*~Aranel~*~

I thought the one from the Two Towers where Legolas trips is so funny. He's like -oh hey I'm running and not watching where I am going because I have to make sure I keep ahead of Gimli...oh and I tripped, stupid rock is in my way-<P>That was my account of what happened.

I read this one hillarious fic called "TTT: The Breadbox Edition" (by <A HREF="http://www.fanfiction.net/profile.php?userid=111237" TARGET=_blank>Evadne</A>, author of 'FOTR: Breadbox Edition') That had Aragorn say just then: "Ah, rock. How I love you." Now, whenever I see that frame, I can't help but think it and crack up.<P>There was another thread on here earlier where someone brought mention to the fact that during Lothlorien, Celeborn gives Galadriel this (as they said it) "I-want-to-throw-you-on-the-floor-and-shag-you-senseless-right-now" look. Now I can't help but see it, and I've never looked at that scene the same way again... Not that I'm complaining, though; it's much more interesting now.

This is one of my favorite: While Saruman & Gandalf are in Orthanc, Gandalf asks Saruman how he knows what he just said, then Saruman looks at the camera rather queerly & says..."I have seen it."

I also noticed in FotR SE, when Boromir first meets Aragorn and asks who he is, Aragorn says "I'm a friend of Gandalf the Grey", it sounds like he's saying "I invented Gandalf the Grey". Okay...I know Viggo suggested a lot for his character, but that's going too far.

*nods* Aragorn's voice at the council gets me every time! I also like when the hobbits and Aragorn are heading to Rivendel and Pippin talks about hobbit meals. Aragorn throws apples to him and he looks up like "Did that just fall from the sky?". However the best part of the movie is when Arwen finds Aragorn in the woods and says "A<BR>ranger caught off his guard." I always expect Arwen to go <I>swing</I> and chop off his head. I love it!

You're quite welcome. <P>I finally watched the entire Moria scene in slow motion. Try watching any battle scene in slow motion and you'll find it hilarious. <P>I now find the part where Frodo is stabbed by the troll even funnier then before because I accidently paused the movie with him in an odd expression. Let's just say Frodo looked a little, er, bloated.

It's the attack of the ferrets! <P>One thing I noticed was that when Pippin crawls over to Merry when they're captured, Merry acts like he's like half-dead or something, but then the rest of the scene he's wide awake. I would have thought his head would be bothering him more, but I guess not...

Last night I was watching TTT and noticed something I hadn't heard before. During the Battle of Helm's Deep, when Legolas shoots the rope that's hauling up the enormous ladder filled with Uruk Hai, one of them yells "Cowabunga!" as the ladder falls.<P>Actually, I sort of wish I hadn't noticed it. There's enough surfer dude stuff in that scene as it is...<P>Boromir's "They have a cave troll" gets me every time, too! I'm so glad Sean Bean is coming back for the third movie!<P>Cheers!<P>-Lily<p>[ August 28, 2003: Message edited by: Lily Bracegirdle ]

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> I thought the one from the Two Towers where Legolas trips is so funny. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>I finally got to see that. While watching the movie, I told my sister to keep an eye out for Legolas. When we saw him trip, we both burst out laughing. That is now officially the funniest part of the movie. <P>At Helm's Deep, theres's a part where the Uruk Hai pull up their ladders and one of them fall backwards (thanks to Legolas). When the ladder hits the ground, I can hear a loud "squish" and all the orcs that were on the ladder look like little squished black beetles. I always find that rather hilarious.

Yes Lily I also love Sean's line. I didn’t know Boromir was coming back! Yay! <BR>Every time Sam says "Mr. Frodo" I crack up. I can't explain it. It just sounds so funny.

I thought these things in TTT were funny:<P>When they're all standing in Helm's Deep waiting for the Orcs to get there and they have a close up shot of Theoden and the two guys in the back. As soon as you hear the crack of thunder one of the guys in back looks up like 'Could things get any worse?'<P>Also I thought the pine tree ent looked funny! Hehee<P>And how in the world could Legolas pull up Aragorn and Gimli by himself? Unless there was a person behind him that I couldn't see.<P>I also thought it was funny how Gandalf just walks right through Aragorn Legolas and Gimli fighting all around him.<P>Also when they throw WormT down the stairs is funny to me.<P>When it starts to rain in Helm's Deep the rain makes a ting sound on their armor and I always think they would say 'We're melting!!' haha!<P>After when Eowyn asks "Who is she the woman who gave you that jewel?" and later when Aragorn says "She leaving with the rest of her kin." I bet Eowyn was thinking 'Alright! When's she leaving?' lol!<P>When the three of them get surrounded by the Rohirrim and Eomer asks "What business does a man an elf and a dwarf have in Rohan?" and Gimli says "Give me your name horse master and I'll give you mine." then Eomer gets of his horse walks over to him and says "I would cut of your head dwarf if it stood a little higher from the ground." and Legolas pionts his arrow at him and Gimli has this surprised look on his face that's priceless!!LOL!! <P>Also any of the Gimli moments are priceless when he falls off the mountain or this funny line "Breath that's the key...breath!!" hehe!<P>((I also love The Emporer's New Groove, especially the part when Cronk's devil is listing this reason's why he should do the bad thing. hehe!!))
