Actor's Quotes

[Orofaniel]

If you think about this for a second, you will realize it's not that hard. And there are a limited number of people it could be. So go at it.



Well, I have thought and I don't seem to come up with the person that said this.......My guess is Orlando Bloom... smilies/biggrin.gif

[Eruwen]

Well, what I meant, is it would be easy to tell what this person was talking about. Then it would be a little easier on who to guess. And sorry, try again.

[Samwise]

Sorry, Miss Eruwen, no clue.

Liv Tyler?

[Eruwen]

And sorry, Samwise, that's not it either. If after the next person guesses and no one is still getting the idea of what it could be about, then I'll give a clue.

[Finwe]

John Rhys-Davies?

[Samwise]

Dominic?

[Eruwen]

Uh, let's see, Orofaniel and Samwise {her 2nd} has been the closet to it. Here's a hint, well two hints:

1. This event included a few members of the fellowship.

2. The quote can be found somewhere on the Downs if you look close enough.

But no one's got it right so far, so keep guessing!

[Novnarwen]

Okey then..... I'll just guess.... hmmmm.... Ian McKellen??

*Nova* smilies/biggrin.gif

[Samwise]

Okay, standard answer time...my fave li'l Hobbit portrayer--Sean?

[ June 25, 2003: Message edited by: Samwise ]

[Eruwen]

You are both in the same area of people, but, for once, no Sam is not it, and neither is Ian. Keep guessing, you guys are so close!!!

[Samwise]

LOL..for ONCE....Billy?....and I sure like to know what you mean by the "group of people"....;(

[Orofaniel]

Elija wood then? smilies/wink.gif

[Eruwen]

I'm actually shocked that people aren't catching on quicker. If you read the quote and think about what the person meant by "not in the same place" then you would get it. Or, I hope you would. It's a very popular event that happened while the actors were in New Zealand. Ooh big hint, but, the event was used as a lasting memory of their times together making the movie.

But neither are right. Yes, the choices are dwindling down! This is so exciting. smilies/wink.gif

[ June 25, 2003: Message edited by: Eruwen ]

[Samwise]

Well, okay, you're talking about the tattoo. But....NOT Ian Holm.....
Are you SURE it's not one of the ones we've already said???

For that matter, are you SURE it's not Elijah? (whom Oro has mentioned). Seeing as how he got his in the rather unusual place...

[ June 26, 2003: Message edited by: Samwise ]

[Arwen_Evenstar]

Ok well here's my guess:
Sean Bean?
~nat~

[The Saucepan Man]

Since this thread has become very long, I am closing it in the interests of conserving bandwidth. I will open a fresh thread so that the game may continue and post the question, clues given and guesses made so far.

[The Saucepan Man]

This is a continuation of the original Actors' Quotes game. Simply guess which actor from the LotR films said the stated quote.

The current quote, posted by Eruwen, is:

Not in the same place as their's!

She has given the following clues:

If you think about this for a second, you will realize it's not that hard. And there are a limited number of people it could be. So go at it.

Well, what I meant, is it would be easy to tell what this person was talking about. Then it would be a little easier on who to guess. And sorry, try again.

1. This event included a few members of the fellowship.

2. The quote can be found somewhere on the Downs if you look close enough.

It's a very popular event that happened while the actors were in New Zealand. Ooh big hint, but, the event was used as a lasting memory of their times together making the movie.


The following guesses have been made:

Orlando Bloom
Liv Tyler
John Rhys-Davies
Dominic Monahan
Sean Astin
Billy Boyd
Elijah Wood
Sean Bean


The correct answer is yet to be found.

Please continue. smilies/smile.gif

[Narduewen]

Well, if it is talking about the tattoos. than the only one left since Ian was already guessed, would be Viggo

[Eruwen]

Thankyou, Narduewen!!! I was searching for a Viggo quote since he is hardly ever used and it would be a little tougher. I guess my plan worked. smilies/tongue.gif You know how I said you can find the quote on the Downs? Well here's the link to the topic...A Distinguishing Mark (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=4&t=002153)

Anyway, Narduewen, it's your turn!

[Samwise]

Sheesh. That took awhile, didn't it. Figures...I've always got my mind set in the direction of the Hobbits. smilies/rolleyes.gif
Oh, well. Next quote? smilies/wink.gif

[Narduewen]

Here's the next quote.

"...that was lovely."

I will have a limited acccess to the internet during the next three weeks, so be patient after you give a quess.

[ June 27, 2003: Message edited by: Narduewen ]

[Eruwen]

Elijah Wood. I've heard him say that a million times, but I think this was the time he was talking about having a 5:30 call in the morning, I think. I'm pretty sure. I've watched my DVD so many time, I'm almost positive.

[Narduewen]

Thats correct. Your turn.

[Eruwen]

Yep, I know Elijah Wood a mile away. {Ahem} Anyway, here's the next quote...

I've changed so much, and I thought, oh God, I would have done that different now. What was I thinking? I obviously wasn't. I was so nervous. I'm so tense. There's things like that.

There was more to this quote, but I figured it not "appropriate" for this site {due to mysterious reasons}, but here it is. So have fun guessing, and it probably won't take long before someone guesses the right answer.

[Orofaniel]

Liv perhaps? smilies/wink.gif

[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

For some reason, I'm thinking Viggo...

[Samwise]

No clue.

Dominic?

[Eruwen]

No, no, and, sorry, nope. but keep on guessing, people. Believe me, it won't take long before someone guesses it right.

[Orofaniel]

Viggo, then? smilies/wink.gif

[Samwise]

Uh....

Cate Blanchett?

[Eruwen]

Sorry, no. Wow I felt like it would be over before now. You see, the one who said this is rarely used for quotes, but this person is ALWAYS guessed. In other words, it's a very common name for guessing, but not so commonly used for his/her quotes.

[Samwise]

Ugh......Brad Dourif? smilies/tongue.gif

[Novnarwen]

Elijah??


*Nova* smilies/biggrin.gif

[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

Sean Astin?

[Orofaniel]

Orlando Bloom? smilies/rolleyes.gif

[Arwen_Evenstar]

The hot scott himself, Billy Boyd?
~nat~

[Samwise]

Andy Serkis? smilies/tongue.gif smilies/rolleyes.gif smilies/tongue.gif smilies/eek.gif smilies/confused.gif

[Gorwingel]

Gosh I have not been to this section of the forum for a very long while.

Well, I am going to give it a shot
Could it be Gimli himself, John Rhyes Davies (I know I spelled his name wrong)

[Eruwen]

Yes! Someone got it! Orofaniel, congrats. Yes, it was the Elf himself. Orlando Bloom is was. There was, as I said, much more to the quote, but it cannot be put onto the site. But Orofaniel, it's your turn!

[Orofaniel]

Yes! Someone got it! Orofaniel, congrats. Yes, it was the Elf himself. Orlando Bloom is was. There was, as I said, much more to the quote, but it cannot be put onto the site. But Orofaniel, it's your turn!

wow, I got it....hm...that was only a wild guess......

Okey, I can't come up with a quote right now, but I'll post as soon as I can.....You'll just have to wait! smilies/biggrin.gif

[Elentári]

oh darn it...i knew that was orli as soon as i saw it...

[Hirilaelin]

Orofaniel? Are you going to be posting anytime soon?

[Eruwen]

Orofaniel...we are waiting...still...it's been 6 days...how long are you going to make us suffer like this?

[Orofaniel]

I'm relly soory!!! smilies/frown.gif

I have been away, without computer access! I promise you'll get one tomorrow, Sunday the 6th..I think it's the 6th tomorrow, isn't it?

THANKS FOR YOUR PATIENCE!! smilies/wink.gif

[Eruwen]

Yes, Orofaniel, it is, and we're glad to know you're still with us. I'll be waiting on the quote! smilies/wink.gif

[Orofaniel]

THANK YOU for your patience, here is the next quote as I promised:

But I suppose it was a way of saying thank you to each other,

I hope it's not to easy.....hehe smilies/wink.gif
(I hope the waiting wasn't all in vain!) smilies/biggrin.gif

[Novnarwen]

Liv Tyler??

*Nova* smilies/biggrin.gif

[Orofaniel]

Sorry, that's not it.... smilies/biggrin.gif

[Novnarwen]

Oh.... not Liv??

Very well...

Elijah then?? (How is his name spelled?)

*Nova* smilies/wink.gif

[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

Hmm...sounds like it's about their tattoos.
Doody doody doo...
Maybe not. Er...

I have an image of Elijah Wood saying that stuck in my head, so I'll go with it.

[Orofaniel]

Oh.... not Liv??
Very well...

Elijah then?? (How is his name spelled?)


No it's not him either
smilies/biggrin.gif

EDIT: and yes Novnarwen, I think it's splled like that... smilies/smile.gif

[ July 06, 2003: Message edited by: Orofaniel ]

[Orofaniel]

Nope Horsie, It's NOT him......hehe smilies/biggrin.gif

[Eruwen]

I have absolutely no clue, but it kinda sounds like Sean Astin so I'll go with him.

EDIT: By the way, that was my 1000th post!!! smilies/biggrin.gif I can't believe I actually posted that much! smilies/smile.gif smilies/tongue.gif

[ July 06, 2003: Message edited by: Eruwen ]

[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

Hehe! I got to my 1000th post today too!
Er...hmm. Sir Ian McKellen?

[Orofaniel]

Eruwen and Horsie, CONGRATS!! Your 1000th post....wow...I'm still on 400th or something....

Well, back to the quote; YOUR BOTH WRONG... smilies/evil.gif

It isn't Sean or Ian....sorry....keep guessing though.....Maybe you'll get your 2000th....hehe smilies/biggrin.gif

[ July 06, 2003: Message edited by: Orofaniel ]

[Neferchoirwen]

My guess would be Billy Boyd

*crosses fingers*

[Samwise]

Just to be different...
Dominic?

[Neferchoirwen]

Then maybe it is Dom...

[Orofaniel]

My guess would be Billy Boyd

sorry, wrong.... smilies/tongue.gif

Just to be different...
Dominic?

Then maybe it is Dom

NOPE, not him either..... smilies/evil.gif

I didn't thought it would be that difficult, well at least you haven't waited in vain for a quote that would be easy... smilies/wink.gif

Keep on guessing! smilies/biggrin.gif

Orofâniel

[Samwise]

*thinks hard, then gets a headache*
Viggo Mortensen?

[Orofaniel]

*thinks hard, then gets a headache*
Viggo Mortensen?


Well, you thought hard enough.....VIGGO IT IS!!!! smilies/biggrin.gif

Your up!

[Samwise]

Whoa....

Okay, I'm going to hunt for a quote. smilies/wink.gif

[Samwise]

Okay, here we go.
It was always something I was interested in. It was always something I knew I was capable of and from an early age my mother was involved in the film industry
It probably won't be your first guess. smilies/wink.gif

[Eruwen]

Awww, Samwise, you got it and then gave a tough quote. But, for some reason, it seems very familiar to me. I orignially thought Elijah Wood, but I'm not sure. Until I find out where I've heard it from though, I'm going to go with him. Elijah it is.

[Orofaniel]

I would go for Elijah too, but since it's already been said I'm guessing soemone else......How about Liv? smilies/biggrin.gif

EDIT after seeing Horsie's post: NP=)
smilies/biggrin.gif

[ July 07, 2003: Message edited by: Orofaniel ]

[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

Thanks for the congrats, Oro!

I am going to guess Ian Holm. I don't know why...it's a hunch.

[Samwise]

Nope
Nope
Nope.
If I had seen it, I would have thought Elijah, too...but it's not.
Not Liv or Ian Holm, either.
(Sorry, Miss Eruwen. smilies/wink.gif)

[Neferchoirwen]

I was about to say Peter Jackson, but wait, not, he's the director...

So has a mother in the industry?

Orlando?

[Samwise]

Actually, Jackson did have a couple of bit parts in the movie...

but it's not either of those guys, either.

[Neferchoirwen]

Now I'm taking a wild guess...

Sean Astin.

[Samwise]

No.

[Orofaniel]

Maybe it's Viggo, again......?? smilies/wink.gif

[Eruwen]

Well I was going to say Sean Astin seeing who his parents are, but it's not right. So, I'm going to go with an out-of-the-blue, but somewhat typical person for you, Samwise, so I'm going with Karl Urban.

[Eärendil]

Which means that you will soon be told your guess was correct and that you can continue. smilies/biggrin.gif
(Okay folks, I am off for a festival tomorrow, yippe!) *smiles*

[Samwise]

Typical? If you say so, Eruwen...go ahead and post a quote.

[Eruwen]

I got it right? Are you sure? I was just guessing. But anyway...here's the next quote.

"These things are like boats with toes."

That narrows down the choices a bit, but there it is and this time I'm looking for who said it and what they are talking about. It won't be that hard.

[Neferchoirwen]

Sam talking about the Oliphaunts?

[Samwise]

Sir Ian Holm talking about the prosthetic Hobbit Feet. That's the very first quote that was in the old thread. "These things are like boats with toes on them!"

[Gwaihir the Windlord]

Are you sure it wasn't Elijah Wood that said that?

[Eruwen]

It was, Samwise? Huh...what are the odds...I actually went to an Ian Holm site to find it. Well, you did a good job searching I guess, cause you got it right. So go ahead Samwise.

[Samwise]

Hm...okay, be back with a quote ASAP...

[Samwise]

Okay, here goes.

"I'm not some complete newcomer who is completely naïve about the whole business."

[Eruwen]

Wow, um...a little tough there, Samwise...I seriously don't even know where to begin on guessing...so I'll go with John Rhys-Davies. Where did you find that anyway?

[Samwise]

Aw, Miss Eruwen...not much harder than one of yours! smilies/biggrin.gif
I found it surfing around.
Nope. Not Mr. Rhys-Davies. Another guess?

[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

Well, it sounds like someone who has acted before, so...
Sean Astin?

[Samwise]

Nope, not Mr. Astin. smilies/smile.gif

[Neferchoirwen]

Viggo probably, except that the only motivation he had for the film was his son...

[Eruwen]

Well it don't really sound like it could be one of the Hobbit boys, so I'll go with Bernard Hill. Just a random answer there and maybe I'll get lucky. You never know.

[merry03]

It sounds like someone new to the whole acting business, so is it Orlando Bloom?

[Samwise]

Sorry, no one's got it yet.

[Eruwen]

Ugh, Miranda Otto?

[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

Hey, don't say Ugh! Don't get mad, get Glad!
Er...sorry.

Is it Brad Dourif?

[Eruwen]

Oh, I wasn't getting mad. I'm just running out of choices for I have no clue who to choose!!!

Anyway, I'll choose again...Andy Serkis?

[Samwise]

You were right the first time, Eruwen, it was Miranda Otto. No "ugh", though. smilies/wink.gif

Quote on!

[Eruwen]

I knew picking those ones that I never guess would pay off eventually. Oh, and sorry about the "Ugh". My friend got me really fistrated and I guess it got worse when I was looking at this thread. Anyway, ok...here's the next quote...

He's a man that is very easy to respect.

Ok guess who it is, and I'll tell you now I am excited because this might not be the easiest quote. smilies/evil.gif

[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

Christopher Lee about Ian McKellen?

[Eruwen]

Nope, sorry, oh and another thing I forgot to mention. You don't have to say who it's talking about if you don't want to. I'll tell you that at the end, for it gives no hints towards the quote anyway. Just thought I'd share that.

[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

Hmm...arr. Maybe Viggo?

[Eruwen]

Not him either. Lol. This is gonna take a while...I can already see it. Don't you just love when people find quotes like that? smilies/wink.gif smilies/evil.gif

EDIT: Oh, and just so people don't have to keep switching from page to page to look at the quote, here is is again...

He's a man that is very easy to respect.

[ July 12, 2003: Message edited by: Eruwen ]

[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

No, I DON'T love it, Eruwen. smilies/biggrin.gif Hmm...

Is it maybe Bernard Hill?

[Samwise]

Sir Ian Mckellen? (he's been said, but someone spoke of him as who it's about, which Eruwen said dosen't matter...) smilies/wink.gif

[Eruwen]

No and no. Ooh, I am loving this. Sorry, but I love that for once I have found a quote like one Eärendil would always find. It's exciting from my point of view. smilies/smile.gif

[Samwise]

Oi...Sean Astin?

[Eruwen]

No, and since many guesses have already been given with no luck...I shall give a few hints. Hmm...let's see what I can come up with.

1. The quote is done by a male. {Don't that help? smilies/wink.gif}

2. The guy is talking about his own character in the movie.

3. This person is not often guessed, nor used in quotes, nor spoken of in this topic really. I just happened to come across an interview with him and decided he would be a good choice.

Ok, take those and keep on guessing everyone! I hope they help.

[Samwise]

Hugo Weaving? smilies/tongue.gif

[Eruwen]

Nope, sorry, but you are getting the idea of what sort of person he is. As in...not one of the majorly guessed people.

[Samwise]

no clue no clue no clue....Ian Holm?

[Gorwingel]

Sean Bean?

If I got this correct (which I doubt I did), just go on without me. I am leaving tomorrow for Comic-Con in San Diego. I am going to be gone for 2 weeks, and I don't want this thread to go idle.

[ July 13, 2003: Message edited by: Gorwingel ]

[Eruwen]

Sorry, no to both of you. Oh, c'mon, people, anyone who reads this can at least guess at it. That's what everyone here does anyway, so please guess. We need more people here!

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

It's David Wenham! Yay! (Doing research actually pays off for once).

[Eruwen]

Yes, David Wenham, Luthien. Well, that lasted long enough. Your turn!

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

Okay, this is a rather long quote, from a rather obscure interview. Good luck!
You don't just work for Peter, you also work for Fran (Frances Walsh). Peter might have one idea and Fran might have another, and somewhere in the middle is what you need to do. I think Peter was happy with my first (shots), but I don't think Fran was, and Fran scared me more then Peter did.

[Eruwen]

Was it Dominic?

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

Nope. Not Dominic.

[Samwise]

Um....'Lijah?

[Finwe]

Sean Astin?

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

Nobody has it yet. why do people always guess the hobbit actors first? smilies/smile.gif I think it's the saying that the actor was scared of Fran that does it. Somehow it just seems like the hobbits are more vulnerable.

[Samwise]

Okay, then....Liv Tyler?

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

Nooooo.... I can see what you mean, Eruwen. This is fun. I think I'll give you all a hint. The actor who said this is male, and his character is rather, um, odd.

[Samwise]

Brad Dourif?

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

You got it, Samwise! Your turn! smilies/biggrin.gif

[Samwise]

Whoa...okay...
(Goes to look for a quote....)

[Samwise]

Here we are:
One thing that makes acting in films a worthy endeavor for me is how the movies take on a life of their own over time.

[Eruwen]

Ian McKellen? It sounds like him...kinda. Oh, did I spell his name wrong? It looks wrong to me, but I'm not sure and this is strange cause I have been spelling his name forever.

[Samwise]

Mmm...I don't think it's wrong, Eruwen. The spelling, anywhoo. That's not the person who said the quote, however.

[Eruwen]

Oh, Samwise, you almost got me...for a sec there. smilies/wink.gif Oh well, my next guess is Christopher Lee. I don't know, it just doesn't sound like a really young person, like the Hobbits, who would have said it.

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

I'm going to have to agree with Eruwen and guess someone who is older. Ummm... Ian Holm?

[Samwise]

Well, no one has it, yet. The person who spoke this quote was saying this in a reference to a movie they had previously done.
I will not be on again until possibly late tomorrow, 'cause at my house we are SWAMPED with company, so keep guessing and I will be back on ASAP.

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

Viggo Mortensen? (shot in the dark)

[Eruwen]

Um, Karl Urban? I'm just guessing here, really, I have no clue.

[Tarien Ithil]

Cate Blanchett?

*prays that it would be right*

[Samwise]

No, no one has it right yet...the actor might not be as old as you think he/she is.

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

Okay, sort of young person. Miranda Otto?

[Cinderella]

I say Elijah Wood...

[Samwise]

Nope, and nope, but you're closer. The movie this person is talking about was out in 1985. I know that won't help some people, but...

[Cinderella]

oh oh!!! Sean Astin!!

[Samwise]

You would of course be right. smilies/smile.gif I'm guessing you know the movie he's talking about, too..... smilies/wink.gif

Anyway, QUOTE on!~

[Cinderella]

Quite! since the answer was quite litterally right in front of me! alright then...

"Yes we trained for about three or four weeks before I started but unfortunately I didn't get to do more sword fighting - I wanted to do more."

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

Someone who didn't do much swordfighting... um, Billy Boyd? (You beat me! I had the nagging thought that it would be the famous Mr. Astin, but I didn't act on my thought. Grrr... Oh well.)

[Cinderella]

Sorry not Billy...

I didn't have a clue until I saw the 1985 clue and then I suddenly noticed Samwise's Sig and Avatar!

[Eruwen]

Elijah Wood? HOPES!!!! Cause I've heard this one before!!

Oh, and Samwise, I shoulda known it was Sean. How clueless could I be?

[Cinderella]

Nope, not Elijah

[Eruwen]

Sean Astin? He was upset about swordfighting at some point.

[Cinderella]

Not Sean either!

I knew this one would be tricky smilies/evil.gif , try and think outside the box a bit

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

Think outside the box... um, David Wenham? Didn't he have a sword?

[Eruwen]

Well it's not Viggo cause that's who I thought. And which box? The fellowship box or the hobbit box or what? Well anyway, I'll guess again...is it Orlando? He did mostly archery so I'll go with him though I doubt it's right.

[Cinderella]

No and no

Think outside both boxes smilies/wink.gif

[vanwalossien]

Karl Urban?

[Eruwen]

Bernard Hill?

[Cinderella]

No and no again... a clue perhaps?

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

Was it Liv Tyler? Because she has a sword with her during the flight to the ford, but she doesn't ever really use it, and her scenes got cut out of Helm's Deep (thank goodness!)

[Cinderella]

Nope but you're ever so close Luthien

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

Ah! It must be Eowyn!

[Cinderella]

Close enough Luthien, I got your point anyhow. Yes it was the lovely and talented Miranda Otto who wished she could have used her sword skills a bit more smilies/wink.gif

Your go!

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

Oops, I was in a hurry when I wrote that. Sorry I didn't give the actor's name! smilies/smile.gif

The Hobbit! The Lorax! The Lorax!

I'm being really evil here and giving you only that short quote to work with. smilies/evil.gif smilies/biggrin.gif

[Cinderella]

Ok...just a wild random first guess from the peanut gallery...

Mr. Elijah Wood possibly?

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

noooooo.....

[Cinderella]

Is it just me Luthien or have you and I completely taken over this game? smilies/evil.gif

How about Ian Holm?

(I'm now v. curious as to what said actor is talking about in this quote...)

[Samwise]

"The Lorax" is a very DEEP book --(well, DEEP compared to some of his other books) written by Theodore Geisel (aka Dr. Seuss).

As to who said the quote....

No clue. Sean Astin?

[Eruwen]

Dom? If I get it right, which I won't continue without me because I'm going to be gone for the next week. Strange quote by the way....strange...

[Samwise]

Ian McKellen? smilies/confused.gif smilies/confused.gif smilies/confused.gif

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

Is it just me Luthien or have you and I completely taken over this game?

Cinderella, I'd pretty much have to agree with you on that one. Although Samwise seems to be frequenting this thread as well. And my failure to reply to everyone's guesses was not an indication of the correctness of the quote, by the way. smilies/smile.gif

Samwise, you got it right with your first guess. I figured I'd put up an obscure Sean Astin smilies/biggrin.gif quote to see if you would recognize it.

You were wondering what the weird quote was about. It's from an interview on theonering.net, where Mr. Astin speaks about the books he likes to read to his daughter, among other things. My quote is from a part where he starts talking about how he likes the Lorax, "I speak for the trees", etc.

It is now Samwise's turn.

[Samwise]

AGAIN??? Goodness sakes.....
Off I go to find a quote... smilies/wink.gif
Speaking of books Mr. Astin likes to read to his daughter, anyone ever heard him read, "A Bad Case of Stripes? "

[Samwise]

Okay, here we go:
"I can't believe most of the opportunities that I've had...I've sort of lived most of those boyhood, childish, backyard dreams..."

Have at it!

[vanwalossien]

Viggo?

[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

Hmm...opportunities. Elijah Wood? Or, maybe Orlando Bloom?

[Samwise]

Or, maybe Orlando Bloom?

Horse maiden's got it! Not too hard, that time. smilies/wink.gif

[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

Woo hoo! Okay, here I go:
...looking like this desperate Rasputin character...

[Orofaniel]

Is it Elijha?? smilies/wink.gif

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

I'm thinking I should know this. Uh... could it be Sean Bean?

Oh, and Samwise: I saw him read "A Bad Case of Stripes". It was cool. Lima beans! smilies/smile.gif

[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

Neither the Bean nor the Wood.

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

I think I just remembered. Could it by any chance be Viggo Mortensen, talking about his appearance as Strider in the Prancing Pony?

[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

Ding ding ding! The nightingale has it! It was Viggo, but he was talking about when he was on the street after a gym workout and someone called the cops.

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

Oops. Oh well. I guess I was close enough. Thanks, Horsemaiden! Okay, here's a new one:

He is forced to act.

This is the actor speaking about his character. That's the only clue. Good luck!

[Samwise]

No clue, so here I go with my usual round of guessing....

Viggo Mortensen?

[Cinderella]

No clue here either, but how about Elijah??

[Orofaniel]

Wild guess: Liv? smilies/biggrin.gif

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

No one has it so far...

[Samwise]

Mmmm...

Bernard Hill ?

[Orofaniel]

Dom, then?

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

No, and no. I'm afraid this is turning out to be quite a hard one. A clue, perhaps?

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

Your clue, and it's a very obscure one, is "city". This has something to do with the actor's name. smilies/smile.gif

[Samwise]

City ??? Er....no clue at ALL. smilies/frown.gif

Sean Astin?

[Rochelle]

My input would be Sean Bean Wild guess...

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

Still no. Think of last name and words that have to do with a city...

Another clue: This actor does not appear in FOTR.

Just as a refresher, the guesses so far have been:
Viggo Mortensen
Elijah Wood
Liv Tyler
Bernard Hill
Dominic Monaghan
Sean Astin
Sean Bean

The quote was
He is forced to act.

This is the actor speaking about his character. Good luck!

[Orofaniel]

Is it the one who plays Denenthor?? I can't remember his name!! smilies/frown.gif

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

Sadly, I cannot remember his name either, and it's not him.

[Orofaniel]

The one who playes Faramir then?

Can't remember his name either, I'm totally stuck!! *asheamed* smilies/frown.gif

[ July 25, 2003: Message edited by: Orofaniel ]

[Narduewen]

It is Karl Urban. He plays Eomer.

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

Well, that was a hard one! I finally found a hard one! Hehehehe..... (choosing obscure quotes from obscure interviews really pays off)... smilies/evil.gif

Narduewen has it! "Urban" refers to cities, therefore the clue was city. Get it now?

Proceed, Narduewen! smilies/biggrin.gif

[Narduewen]

Thank you! As for the next quote.

"Broken toes and pulled muscles"

[Samwise]

Ow.....

Viggo Mortensen?

[Narduewen]

Well, that is correct. On the first guess too. It's your go, Samwise.

[Samwise]

Ow....

Okay, here you go.

"I did a film once where the producer said, 'I want everyone to feel like they're at holiday camp' - the shoot was terrible. So you don't expect the process to be enjoyable."

[Orofaniel]

Elijah perhaps? smilies/biggrin.gif

[Samwise]

Nope, not the Wunderkind. smilies/wink.gif

[Orofaniel]

How about Orli then? smilies/biggrin.gif

[Samwise]

Nope.
Clue 1: The actor/actress is not American.

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

Wild random guess to break the hobbit-actor-first habit: John Rhys-Davies.

[Eruwen]

Miranda Otto?

[Samwise]

No one has it, yet.

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

Christopher Lee?

[Samwise]

Nope.

This actor/actress' character appeared...about midway through FOTR.

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

Surely you don't mean Hugo Weaving?

[Samwise]

You're right, I don't. The character of this actor/actress appears...a bit later than Rivendell.

[StarJewel]

Cate Blanchett? Or her character's husband, Marton Csokas (probably spelled that wrong)

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

StarJewel probably got it right, but I'll venture to guess Lawrence Makoare (he played Lurtz).

[Samwise]

StarJewel is correct. smilies/wink.gif Welcome to the 'downs and the thread! Find yourself a quote and post for us to take wild guesses at! (well, okay, MINE are mostly wild guesses...) smilies/wink.gif

[StarJewel]

Ok, I'm kind of new at this, so here goes

"They were fond of playing loud music in the mornings and it wasn't always to my liking."

[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

A-HA! Finally one that I know! And I have to grab it before anyone else does! Muahahaha!

Ian McKellen.

[StarJewel]

Wow. That was quick. Yout turn, Horse Maiden!

[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

It comes from watching the special features in the EE over and over... smilies/biggrin.gif

So we had more champagne!

[Eruwen]

Billy Boyd. He was talking about how it was his birthday and he and Orlando had champagne on the plane, and then when they got to NZ it was his birthday again due to the time difference so they had some more champagne. Yes, I've watched the special features many times as well.

[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

Wow! A whole four minute interval on that one! smilies/biggrin.gif

Your go, Eruwen.

[Eruwen]

Yeah, I think I have watched the special features about as many times as I've watched the movie. {And I have the movie memorized now seeing I've seen it 20 times.}

Anyway, here's the next quote:

I got my dirt...

This is really of an easy one, but it's all I could come up with off the top of my head. It won't take long, but go at it!

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

That would be Elijah Wood. (Once again from the special features, and I have seen them numerous times as well). smilies/biggrin.gif

[Eruwen]

Yeah, I figured it was really easy. I even tried only putting in a segment of the quote to make you think a little harder, but I guess it's just too familiar of a part in the DVD. Your go, Luthien.

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

Thankyou! Let's see... I now have a list of funny quotes to be used on this thread, so it is hard to choose which one to use... How about this one?

...doing the drunken Sam walk...

Try to solve that one! smilies/biggrin.gif

[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

The drunken Sam walk? *laughs*

Hmm...how about Elijah Wood? I can't get him out of my head saying that...it's quite annoying. smilies/wink.gif

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

Yes, it actually is! First guess too! Very good job, Horse-Maiden! It is Elijah Wood on the EE commentary talking about BK the stunt double "doing the druken Sam walk" aftr leaving the Green Dragon Inn. Your turn!

[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

Hey, cool! I knew it was off of the commentary when I thought about it. Ah...good times.

Yeah, a couple times.

[ July 31, 2003: Message edited by: Horse-Maiden of the Shire ]

[Orofaniel]

hm......Christopher Lee??

*don't know if I wrote it correct* smilies/frown.gif

[Eruwen]

Finally someone comes up with a difficult one!! And yes, Orofaniel, you wrote it right. My guess is Sean Astin for I have no clue. But hey he's been used alot recently so I figured I go with him.

[Samwise]

Hm......
Dom?

[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

No, no, and no. Sorry there.

EDIT: Oro, you did write it correctly.

[ July 31, 2003: Message edited by: Horse-Maiden of the Shire ]

[Orofaniel]

I know Eruwen said it too. smilies/wink.gif Thanks anyway!

Okey new guess; Ian? smilies/biggrin.gif

[Eruwen]

Viggo?

[Samwise]

Pip--er--Billy Boyd? smilies/wink.gif

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

That sounds to me like something Elijah Wood would say, seeing as "a couple times" is kind of an American expression.

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

*bump* Horse-Maiden? Are you there?

[Eruwen]

Horse Maiden? Are you out there? You know, very often we get people who are supposed to post a quote and dont come back to do it, but rarely do we ever have the situation where the person doesn't come back to say who got it right. Is there a day limit on this type of thing as well? I mean, how long should we go like this?

[Orofaniel]

Eruwen, I have no idea. smilies/frown.gif I really hope she'd come back soon so we could hear the answer.

Anyway.....Wait and see?

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

Hellooooooooo?

[Eruwen]

Ok, it's been 7 days now and I'm not a very patient person. Are we gonna keep waiting on Horse Maiden of the Shire to come back or can we continue this at some time? I'm not trying to be mean or anything, I just have a problem with not being able to wait very long for things. I say give her 3 more days. Anyone have any other ideas?

[vanwalossien]

I PMed her to remind her, but it doesn't seem like she's checking her PMs. Ten days is the rule, isn't it?

[Eärendil]

Actually, seven days is the standard rule... (is it different in this thread?)
Post a quote, someone!
I can´t though, not enough time... *sigh*

[ August 08, 2003: Message edited by: Eärendil ]

[Eruwen]

Thank you, Eärendil! I didn't want to wait 10 days, but it seemed that every time this happens that's how long we wait, so I just threw it in there. But here's the next quote...cause I have enough time to post one.

"You can't really figure out what he's saying,"

This is sort of an easy one, but in spite of recent events that may be taking place in about 5 months, I decided to do a quote by this particular person. So go ahead...guess...if you even have to.

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

Isn't that Elijah Wood talking about Ian McKellen's protests to the hobbit actors playing loud music at five in the morning?

[Eruwen]

Yes, Luthien, it is Elijah. The whole quote:

"Ian shared our trailor. So if you can imagine, the four Hobbits ina trailer with Ian McKellen...So that became kinda difficult...You know, you'd kinda hear him sort of...aargh!!! in the back of the trailor, aaarrrgh!!! at some point just protesting in some sort of, you know...you can't really figure out what he's saying, just protesting."

I love that part of the DVD. But your go, Luthien. Wow, it seems like I've been saying that a lot on this thread. smilies/tongue.gif

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

your go, Luthien. Wow, it seems like I've been saying that a lot on this thread.


smilies/tongue.gif Yeah, I love this thread.

So here's the new quote:

Well you need to just-kind of-learn!

Yes, I've started a funny quote trend. Everyone of mine is going to be slightly offbeat for a while, so be prepared! smilies/smile.gif

[ August 09, 2003: Message edited by: Luthien_ Tinuviel ]

[Eruwen]

Yes, I've started a funny quote trend. Everyone of of mine is going to be slightly offbeat for a while, so be prepared!

What do you mean by that? And for the quote, I'll go for Orli. It just sounds like him...kinda.

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

Oops, I wrote "of" twice! Must fix that...

I meant that I have compiled a list of quotes to use on this thread, and everyone that I post will either sound funny or else be from a funny conversation.

(And no, it's not Orli).

[ August 09, 2003: Message edited by: Luthien_ Tinuviel ]

[Eruwen]

I don't know why I'm guessing this, but I have this idea in my mind that I think I might have a lead on what the quote is talking about, so I'm going to say Sean Bean.

[Samwise]

As usual, no idea, but for some reason I'm thinking:
Liv Tyler?

[Orofaniel]

Is it Ian? smilies/wink.gif

[Novnarwen]

Viggo?

*nova* smilies/biggrin.gif smilies/wink.gif

[ August 10, 2003: Message edited by: Novnarwen ]

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

Sorry, but all are wrong. We all seem to have reversed our patterns of guessing, but it's not working very well. Keep trying! smilies/biggrin.gif

(Oh wait. I guess a clue might be nice. The quote is a response to someone saying something along the lines of (this is a rough paraphrase): "How did you find that out? I didn't know that! How did you know that?")

Good luck! smilies/wink.gif

[Eruwen]

Ok then, Sean Astin?

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

No, but getting closer....

[Samwise]

Elijah ?
