Has anyone ever noticed? [Archive] - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Has anyone noticed the tiny things throughout the first movie that you just see and laugh at because no matter how many times you've seen the movie, you've never noticed them before?Well I've seen the movie 21 times. I have caught a few little things in the movie that just struck me funny. Read through them, and add your own if you've noticed anything different. {From first or second movie, though, mine are all from the first.}My findings: 1. When Gandalf and Bilbo are smoking pipeweed right before Bilbo's party, and Gandalf blows the ship through the circle, his cheeks go in and out like a fish as he blows. 2. This is actually from the book, but it can be associated with the movie as well. Technically, Gollum shouldn't be so into the whole "it's my birthday present, I want it back" ordeal, because Frodo recieved the ring from Bilbo on his birthday as well. So really it was Frodo's birthday present too. 3. When the Hobbits are in the Green Dragon, and Frodo brings the mugs to the table, he slides them to each of the people at the table. If you watch Sam, he doesn't even look at the mug, but somehow it slides perfectly into his hand. How many takes did they go through before they got that right anyway?4. In Bree, when Pippin says his "It comes in pints?" line, Merry answers him making this slightly funny sound inside the mug of ale he's drinking. I just always found that funny when I heard it. 5. When the Hobbits and Strider are leaving Weathertop, and Aragorn says "he needs Elvish medicine", Sam replies with "But we're 6 days from Rivendell. He'll never make it!". Technically, how does Sam know they are 6 days from Rivendell? Wasn't it just earlier in the movie that he said he'd never been that far away from home? Has he ever been to Rivendell before? Not that I know of. Interesting...6. Oh, you'll love this one. When the Fellowship has reached the bank of the Anduin in the almost last scene, and Legolas says "We should move on" {or something like that}, oh, this is horrible. You will die. If you look at Legolas' hair, he has a few hairs out of place!!! Isn't it tragic?!? But seriously, his hair is a bit messed up. I just felt like throwing in that one. It has no real purpose.Well, tell me if you've found anything else like this that is a bit comical. I'm not talking movie mistakes here, cause we've all seen the extremely long list of those. These are little things that aren't necessarily a mistake, but just seem funny to you.

I dont know why it took me so long to notice this one, but when the hobbits fall down the hill from Farmer Maggot's farm, and Pippen says " Oh, that was close." It took me a really long time to see that he only narrowly missed a pile of, uh, unpleasantness. Why I notice things like this, I will Never understand.

This kind of relates to that weird shots thread running around here. When Isildur is holding the ring between his fore finger and thumb just as Elrond comes up and says, "Isildur hurry! Follow me!" The ring looks really cheap and bent almost like it came out of a gumball machine when Isildur is holding it.

I love noting the out-of-place facial expressions. One of my favourites for laughs is at the moment when Aragorn is telling Legolas and Gimli that they will not abandon Merry and Pippin to torment and death. Legolas makes a peculiar face, as though he's just got a good smell of Aragorn and would like to turn around and throw up instead.

When Legolas is running to look at the Crebain, he just barely gains his balance before falling off the rock. On Caradhras, Legolas is walking on top of the snow. When they stop near the edge, Gandalf steps up out of the snow to join Legolas. Seem a little weird to you?In Moria, when the orcs and Leggy are shooting back and forth at each other, Legolas sticks his arrow in the rock, the orc's just bounce off. I thought that was amusing as well.

During the prologue, when Isildur first has the Ring and is holding it, it looks like he only has three fingers, like a cartoon character I had to look really close because it bugged me so much Am I the only one?

1. When Aragorn has just killed Lurtz, he limps over to Boromir, and if you look at his feet, an Uruk lifts his head then drops it again. When I saw that I laughed.2. When Leggy and Gimli find Aragorn and Boromir, Leggy has this look of mild interest on his face, like 'Oh...boromir's dead. Eh...wonder what's for tea?' I always found that amusing.

Well there's the part where Aragorna dn Arwen are having this really meaning full conversation. If you watch Liv's lips when she says the line "I choose a mortal life" Her lip does this wierd twitch thingy that makes me laugh sooo hard everytime I see it.Then there are two parts in the council of elrond: 1.When Aragorn says that the ring has no other master it awnsers to Sauron alone, for some reason to me it always seems like he inhaled helium or something 2. Gimli starts shoutting never trust and elf and he spits on himself, I found that amusing tooThat's all I have, there are few from TTT as well but I just have to mention at the beggining when Legolas Trips, I think that's soo funny.

These are great! I've gotta look for them!--Near the end of FotR, after Boromir trys to take the ring, Aragorn talks to Frodo and says "Run. Run!" He turns to see a group of Uruk-Hai. At first you see them and Aragorn's back, then the camera turns and you see Aragorn's face. Just in the middle of that turn, if you listen for it, one of the orcs makes a really wierd sound like a cross between a goat and a sheep. Baaaa!My friend found that one and insists I give her credit. It was all you, Faith! You can hear it again after Aragorn cuts down a couple orcs.

Marroc Underhill

08-10-2003, 04:42 AM

I was watching the FotR with the Comentary and as they fall down the hill, the two who play Merry and Pippin explain how when they were filming that scene, the actor who plays Sam let out the old Chili Gas, he said that every one fell on him and it squeezed out. I found that pretty funny knowing that actors aren't perfect.

I never noticed this one tiny thing really until my best LOTR-obsessed friend started cracking up. When Merry and Pippin come out at the end of the Council of Elrond, and Merry says, "Oi! We're coming too!" Elrond glares at them, then right after Gandalf does this really weird, wicked funny eye roll thing. My friend started cracking up, and I did too, and we were laughing for like five minutes. We still crack up every time we see it, and everytime someone rolls their eyes. We're sick in the mind, methinks.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>When Arwen goes 'Do you remember when we first met' I always expect Aragorn to go 'No', no matter how many times I see it.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>Cool! 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 ]

Thanks everyone for all the things to look for.The one that always gets me is; Why is it that everytime Frodo puts on the ring it is not on the chain? How does he get it off the chain without anyone seeing him do it?

08-10-2003, 06:21 PM

One thing that always bugs me is the scene where Sam says "This is it."Frodo: This is what? Sam: If I take one more step, it'll be the farthest away from home I've ever been.While this is surely a dramatic scene, it kind of makes it seem stupid when ten minutes later they come upon Merry and Pippen casually running through Farmer Maggot's crops. Sam must never have been very far from home!

There are a lot of things I need to check out here! There are some things that I always laugh at:When Saruman has just spoken to Sauron through his Palantir and the Ord says: What word from Mordor my lord? What does the eye comand? I don't know but it's just the way he says it. He looks so innocent but at the same time... ugly... Im crazy I know!Then at almost the end og fotr Legolas is standing and shoting uruks as they come. In the dvd version he stands there quite longer and shots... I don't know... a lot. I always laugh because they just drop like flies all around him. In TTT when Frodo, Sam and Gollum look at the people from Harad going to Mordor. Gollum has this strange look on his face. I can't explain why on earth I find that face funny... it just is. that's all.

And I can't help saying, "This wall, of course." Then I bust up laughing. And everyone in the theater looks at me funny. I have no idea why... Abedithon le,~*~Aranel~*~

Well actually, if you slow it down a bit when Aragorn limp's over to Boromir, quite a few orcs move around, as Aragorn walks past a pile of them, his traveling cloak passes over ones head, and it's like, "Hu, what was that, oh, still shooting..."

When Strider and the Hobbits are starting for Rivendell and Frodo says "Where are you taking us?" then Strider says "Into the wild" right after that one of his arrows hits the camrea and I thought it was the funniest thing!Also I thought it was funny ever time the ringwraith called Arwen she-elf! hehe!I always thought , when that orc in Sarumans lair thing was born, that the goo was puding!When Sam was drowning in the lake I would always say to myself. "And here ends the story of Sam tune in next week for Pippin!" I don't know why but it always cracked up my friends.And doesn't Saurman's lair thing look like a theme park?

Back in November, one of my friends and I were watching the extended DVD. We were on one of our high on caffeine moods and were basically parodying every scene in the second half of the movie. There was one scene in Moria when Aragorn decapitates an orc and a volcano of orc blood erupts from its neck. In a fit of giggles, the two of us rewinded and replayed the scene in slow motion, then paused it. The paused scene looked as if not only was the orc's head missing, but Aragorn was in the process of losing his own (his head was tilted in an unnatural way). I still can't get through that part without laughing.My friend and I also attempted to watch the part when Frodo gets stabbed by the troll in slow motion, but after about three or four minutes we got bored (the scene wasn't even halfway over). But I laugh each time I watch that part. It's just way too corny. Then at Khazad-dum, Boromir the photographer came to life. But that's a different story....

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Boromir the photographer came to life. But that's a different story....<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> And one that we *SO* need to hear. In the Extended Version of Fellowship, after Aragorn and the hobbits leave Bree, there's an extended shot of the hobbits talking about whether or not Strider is trustworthy (you all know which one I'm talking about). Merry is seriously trashing on Aragorn, and then Sam says, "Well where is he leading us?" And Aragorn, not looking back, replies, "To Rivendell, Master Gamgee. To the house of Elrond." And the hobbits get these stricken looks on their faces, like "Oh crap, he heard all that!!!" Everytime I see that I start laughing so hard.And now I'm going to have to watch for when Aragorn bumps the camera. I've never noticed it before...Abedithon le,~*~Aranel~*~EDIT: Happy 800th Post to me!!! [ August 14, 2003: Message edited by: Sapphire_Flame ]

He wants to get out, Saruman closes one door, he goes to another, Saruman closes it again, and then Gandalf just keep going to other doors, it seems so absurd, you should thing that by that time Gandalf figured that it's no use trying another door...

Another thing that makes me smile is in the part 'Farewell to Lorien'. Galadriel says something like, 'Do not be afraid, young Peregrin Took', to Pippin, but I swear it sounds like she says 'do not be afraid, young Peregrin Pook.' It just sounds so funny.

Lily

08-14-2003, 06:33 PM

I did that too Brinniel!! I watched like the entire movie in slow motion!! It was so funny! I watched the part where all the orcs are coming down the hill to Boromir. And Aragorn like trips one of them with his sword and I watched the orc in slow motion do a flip. Oh! It was hilarious! There were other golden moments too but I can't remember them.....I'm going to have to watch it again! hehe!!

Elianna

08-14-2003, 07:37 PM

I've always loved to parody the Aragorn/Arwen bridge scene: "Do you remember the first time we meet?" "Of course! How could I forget? Umm...It was...uh...it was...." "It was on your 20th birthday." "Yes. I was about to say that. I remember it like it was yesterday." "Do you remember what I told you?" *thinks about it for a while* "That you loved me?" Then Arwen would give an annoyed laugh and just walk away.I had always thought that Aragorn sounded really nasal, like a duck, when he says "It has no other master."Whenever I watch when Merry and Pippin are running up and joining the Fellowship, Elrond looks like he's just about ready to kill them right there. I always think "Watch out Pippin! It's Agent Smith! He's got a gun!"Another Agent Smith/Elrond thing is the parallels in Elrond's lines bashing the race of men ("weak" "because of men the Ring survives" "scattered, devided, leaderless") and Agent Smith: "Humanity is a disease, cancer of this planet. You're a...plague. And we are the cure." It sounds like something Elrond would say.I also think it's funny that the ONE true father/daughter couple in the enitre triology (Elrond/Arwen)only have one scene together in the entirey of the two movies. And in this one scene: he makes her cry! And along the same line: Elrond practically rised Aragorn and in their only TWO scenes together: they argue.Also, it's funny to see who Galadriel looks at while she's talking when she first meets the Fellowship: "and in all lands, love is now mingled with grief... BOROMIR!"And another thing that bugs me...(I do seem to have a lot, last one, promise.) When Gandalf, Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas first get to Medusled: Hama: "You have to give up your weapons" Aragorn et al disarm... Twenty minutes later... Hama: "Okay, now you can go in." Then when they're in the Hall, Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli are fung fu-ing all the guards, kickin' some majorly awesome bootty and Gandalf's just like "Theoden!" with great love and passion. I guess you'd have to hear it for it to be as funny as I find it.Yeah, I totally lied about it being the last thing: In the first chapter of TTT, Aragorn and Co. are looking at the Uruk-hai and see that there's an 's' rune on their helmets. Gimli says "S for Sauron." I always think: "This orc brought to you by the letter S, for Sauron! And by the number 1, for the One Ring!"Sorry to be so long-winded. I'll be quiet now.

Boromir arrived in Rivendell, left Rivendell, and reached Amon Hen in the same outfit. Did these people never wash, or carry at least one spare tunic? Or take pity on the laundry woman?
I don't know their travel dates, so I can't tell how long that same outfit was on Boromir, but I'm guessing it was a long time...

Elianna

08-16-2003, 10:31 AM

How long did Boromir wear that same outfit you ask? Well, it took him 110 days to get to Rivendell from Gondor (as he whines/boasts in the Council of Elrond). Then the Fellowship didn't set out for...*calculate*...92 days after that. Then he wore it the rest of December and all of January...36 more days. Then he died the 26th of February. So that's a total of...264 days. eek! Though, I'd be more worried about how long Strider's worn his outfit. *shudder* (poor Arwen!)

Elianna

08-16-2003, 10:57 AM

Oops...the rest of December to the end of January would be 37 days. So it's...(forgets origional number...*re-calculates*)...265. I'm just a stupid elf, don't mind me. And Aragorn at least has an extra shirt. He wore in TTT after they got to Edoras. Instead of the origional blue, this one's red. And Boromir probably lost his change(s?) of clothes when he lost his horse.

- In the council of Elrond in the Theatrical Edition: Just after Frodo puts down the Ring and everyone whispers to their neighbors, creating a nice dramatic atmosphere, and just before Boromir begins his whole 'It is a gift' speach, there's this one guy that says "The DOOM of MAN." That cracks me up every time. It's so loud and random and just sounds so FUNNY. They toned it down for the EE so it isn't as loud, but it's still there. <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>When Strider and the Hobbits are starting for Rivendell and Frodo says "Where are you taking us?" then Strider says "Into the wild" right after that one of his arrows hits the camrea and I thought it was the funniest thing!<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>- It's hillarious! I love that and laugh every time. - There's this part during Aragorn's fight with Lurtz on Amon Hen when Lurtz throws a sheild at Aragorn and pins him to a tree. The expression on Aragorn's face as Lurtz closes in for the 'kill' makes him look like some kind of rabid rodent.- When the four hobbits jump behind the tree roots in the Shire to hide from the approaching Ringwraith, look at where Frodo's hand lands as he jumps after. Lucky Pippin. - This is more freaky than funny, but thought I'd share anyway. While Boromir is saying his "so small a thing" lines on Caradhras, watch the Ring closly. Sean Bean's hand moves ever so slightly, which causes the chain to slowly move beneath the Ring, which in turn makes the Ring to appear to twitch on its own accord. It's really freaky![ August 16, 2003: Message edited by: arianrod ][ August 16, 2003: Message edited by: arianrod ]

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> At Bilbo's birthday party, when Frodo does his chicken dance, you can see Merry in the background pointing at him and laughing. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>And you can see Pippin in the bandstand drinking beer while playing some sort of ukalele (sp?) thing.I also love how when Frodo screams "GANDALF!" you see Boromir in slow-mo look around, with his hair going all over the place. Me and my friend call it his commercial for Herbal Essence. 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. Then there's Pippin abuse, which is different from what you guys are talking about (in a way). There are many instances of it. The first is when Pippin yells "Mushrooms!" and Sam and Merry push him down when he tries to get up to get the mushrooms. Next there's the scene when Aragorn hits Pippin in the head with the apple. Then on the EE, Pippin falls into the Midgewater Marshes (though that was actually of his own doing ). The next part is when Boromir cuts Pippin's hand when they're practicing sword-fighting. 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! Then Pippin almost falls down the stairs in Moria, and Merry scolds him and, uh, yeah.... Now is the scene that is most obvious, when Gandalf says, "Fool of a Took!" 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...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.

Meneltarmacil! 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?

Arwen replies, "There is still hope." 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?

How I love you." Now, whenever I see that frame, I can't help but think it and crack up.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.

Aragorn throws apples to him and he looks up like "Did that just fall from the sky?".

I thought these things in TTT were funny: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?'Also I thought the pine tree ent looked funny! HeheeAnd 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.I also thought it was funny how Gandalf just walks right through Aragorn Legolas and Gimli fighting all around him.Also when they throw WormT down the stairs is funny to me.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!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!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!! 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!((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!!))

I always find it funny when Frodo says "Get off the road! Quick!" It sounds so forced. In Rivendell when Boromir drops the helm of Narsil and Aragorn picks it up and puts it back, he puts it back crooked! This always made me very annoyed.In Lothlorien, when Haldir and the rest of the elves are surrounding the fellowship, I always find it strange that while Aragorn, the hobbits and everybody else have their hands in the air, Legolas is aiming his bow right back at the Lorien elves.

Back on Topic- Did anyone else notice, in Fellowship- During the beginning Concerning Hobbits scene when Bilbo is talking, the hobbits are putting up the birthday banner and setting up for the party: one of them misses when he's trying to pound in the peg! And in the EE when the Fellowship is leaving Lorien, Legolas' "lembas commercial" , and Merry and Pip's faces in the following bit. I'll never see that scene the same after watching the cast commentary.

Saruman pushes him away and Wormtongue looks up at him and gives him this innocent little boy look that says, "I'm sorry, daddy. Did I do something wrong?"A few minutes later, after Saruman shows Wormtongue his army of 10,000, Wormtongue sheds a tear...

After Gandalf and the Rohirrim ride down to the Uruks at Helm's Deep, you see shots of fighting. Look out for the bits they show of Eomer. Behind him to the right is a red clad figure with dark brown hair. It can only be Arwen, unless someone else has managed to turn up as well as her.

I agree, Brinniel! Faramir looks really funny when he yells "NAZGUL!!!" I think it's the way his nostrils are flared or something.I mis-spoke about Sean Bean. He's going to have some more scenes, but in the extended TTT, not ROTK. They're going to show some scenes of him and Faramir retaking Osgiliath together (before Boromir set out for Rivendell), and some scenes between Boromir and Denethor.

Funny, I loved that touch. I never felt Wormtongue wanted to see the complete destruction of Rohan. He just wanted to reap the benefits of being in league with the man in charge.

HCIsland

09-01-2003, 11:04 AM

As Aragorn points out though, this is more than just a force necessary to dispose a monarch. This is an army designed to wipe out Rohan entirely."This is an army bred for a single purpose, to end the race of men." H.C.

when Legolas cuts the rope and the ladder with all the Uruks, its sounds like an URuk yells Motherf*cker, and in TTT game , it sounds like an ORc yells *ssholeis when Lego trips right before the part where ARagorn finds Pippens brooch....?and, thefunniest parts is when Smeagol and Gollum are talking to each other, and Smeagols says, WE could give it to Her, he gets the most hiariouse face.[ September 01, 2003: Message edited by: Sauron_the_Abhorred ]

I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this, or seen it, but I found something when I rented TTT this weekend...When the battle for Helm's Deep is going on, and Rohan has retreated into the caves, they show a scene with Aragorn, Theoden, etc inside the large stone room. This is when it's light outside already. Theoden starts saying something about how it's all over and they have lost. It's hopeless, blah blah blah. When Aragorn hear's him he says something along the lines of "You said this place would hold as long as your men defend it. They are still defending it!"As he says this beginning of these lines, he begins to help Legolas pick up a large beam to carry over to the door. Lego has the front, and Aragorn the back. When Aragorn says "They are still defending it", he lets go of the beam, and Legolas continues to carry it on. It is funny because Legolas suddenly notices that Aragorn is gone, and he almost drops the beam since he's not able to carry it. It's just funny watching Aragorn leave his companion as his end of the beam hits the floor making it desperately hard for Legolas to carry. But it might just be me...

I think they added that because right before he sees those tens of thousands he doesnt realize that that Saruman had so much power.......So he's like, What? How did this get here? Since this was not exactly the setting for that reaction, they had him weep in amazment.

I just find it amazing that ten thousand troops could have been hiding when Wormtongue rode into Isengard. He had to have known they were there. He has that amazed look on his face like, "Where did all these troops come from?"

samrohan

09-02-2003, 06:17 AM

I agree about him surely having noticed some troops but most of them appear to have been 'created' in the depths of the foundations lying around Orthanc. These crevasses appear to be where PJ has placed the Uruks. Tolkien always left this a little vague in the books, and PJ created a lovely nest of crevasses in the surroundings of Orthanc which subsequently get drowned by the ENTS. They probably could have contained so many Orcs, and don’t forget that Saruman was one of the greatest wizards.

Regarding Gandalf's wink to Aragorn before they enter Meduseld: I always find it a bit funny that there are many guards besides Hama surrounding them, apparently watching them, and not one comments on Gandalf's wink, and Aragorn's even more conspicuous little grin. Some guards they are!

When you are watching TTT next, watch for the tripping scene.

And in TTT when they are all waiting for the empending battle of Helms Deep, It starts raining, and you can see it in Theoden's face, " And I thaught it coudn't get any worse."

In FotR :When Frodo is walking in Rivendell his head is grazed by this thing that must be a leaf but it looks like a bell. I can't help but notice it everytime."The doom of man" at the council gets me every time. When Gimili comes out of the snow he sounds like a boar.When Gimili cries in Moria I always laugh, then stop laughing so that I can hear the little *clump* of his helmet against the stone, then I laugh some more. When Aragorn says, "Legolas, Gimili, get them up," he sounds like there is a clothespin on his nose.Galadriel sounds so evil when she says,"I know what it is you saw, for it is also in my mind." Also during that scene when they are telepathically speaking to each other I like to mute it. Imagine shooting that! It must have been hilarious. "Okay, Elijah, we're gonna have you stare for five minutes, then Cate, you for ten." When Aragorn tells frodo to run at Amon Hen, Frodo turns and his cloak does this awesome floaty thing that I just love!TTT: in the EE edition as Gollum is leading through Emyn Muil (I forgot how to spell it) he gives another hilarious, "AAAAAHHHHHHHH!"When Frodo falls in the marshes and you see Gollum's hand begin to pull him out, make sure and watch Frodo's face. It is hideous!In the dead marshes, right after Gollum remembers that his name is Smeagol, the Nazgul cry sounds out. Sam wakes up with a jump/scrambul looking thing and it is so funny! When the first warg eats Hama it shows a shot of Eowyn and Aragorn and they are just looking in that direction with a sense of interest on their faces. It cracks me up that they aren't screaming and running to help. No, they just grace Hama with interested expressions as he dies.In the flashback to his conversaion with Elrond, Aragorn gives him the most priceless look as Elrond says, "There it will be evergreen." You gotta see this one! If looks could kill!In the EE, the scene where Eowyn gives Aragorn the stew, at the very beginning she offers it to Gimili. The dwarf knows how to escape! I love that whole scene.When legolas is "despairing" and he says, "They will die!" Listen to the elvish words, they are something like, "Naga Daga Thyre!" sounds too funny!EE, the scene where Merry and Pippin find the food, as they are walking into the storehouse watch Merry. As he walks his arms do this freakish jerking thing that leaves me laughing just thinking about it! Its great!RotK:I haven't seen it enough to notice many small things, but two things that I noticed the second time that I had missed the first was: when Aragorn is looking at the path to the Paths of the Dead the leader ghost thing begins to form in the gap of the mountains. I just barely saw it before it was over and I am going to look for it again next time!When the eagles come the moth flies in front of Gandalf! so cool!There are lots of parts that aren't suppose to be funny but I laugh my head off despite that fact: I agree with drowning in Frodo's nostrils! But not only his, I can't help but laugh at that poor elf guy who has to call after Arwen! TeeHeeheeeheee.And when the Palantir is stuck to Pippin's hands and it slow-mo's on his face... well, it kills me.When Aragorn sees the beacon and he runs to Meduseld, oh my word it's great.When Frodo falls down when the eye is on him in Mordor, I'm sorry but it looks so funny.Denethor's death is suppose to me terrible, but to me it's terribly humorous! I had to bury my face as not to disturb the people who weren't laughing.Last one I promise! (you people probably hate me!) When Frodo wakes up in the bed and says Gandalf!!!! Then everyone comes in one at a time all in slow motion. The whole thing is hilarious (except Sam, thats sweet). But it would have been so much better if it had not all been in slow motion. Also, watch (I think its Pippin) his cheeks. If it's not him then it's Merry. Oh its so funny!That is my extremely long list of the things that stuck out to me that no one has mentioned already or that you have metioned and I mentioned again. I am also gonna try the "Pippin Abuse!" thing!

I was going to write my reply with all the things that made me laugh in the films, but they were already mentioned (save the Captain Obvious "A diversion!" line from ROTK. <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> When Aragorn says that the ring has no other master it awnsers to Sauron alone, for some reason to me it always seems like he inhaled helium or somethingAragorn, Legolas and Gimli are fung fu-ing all the guards, kickin' some majorly awesome bootty and Gandalf's just like "Theoden!" with great love and passion.Just after Frodo puts down the Ring and everyone whispers to their neighbors, creating a nice dramatic atmosphere, and just before Boromir begins his whole 'It is a gift' speach, there's this one guy that says "The DOOM of MAN." That cracks me up every time. It's so loud and random and just sounds so FUNNY. They toned it down for the EE so it isn't as loud, but it's still there.During the scene at Bag End when Frodo is packing--Gandalf carefully folds up a shirt and hands it to Frodo, who proceeds to shake it out & cram it into the bag.Boromir has a hold of the troll's chain, and the realization suddenly dawns on him that he's about to get flipped around like a rag doll.I feel like the word "Rivendell" is going to appear in a swirling script, like in a video game...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.Anyhoo, one thing that I've found amusing is when that one Ent puts himself out in the river water during the Ents' storming of Isengard.I was watching the Two Towers dvd this morning and I noticed Arwen fighting at Helm's Deep.In Rivendell when Boromir drops the helm of Narsil and Aragorn picks it up and puts it back, he puts it back crooked! <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> I'm sure there will be plenty more to laugh about (all in good fun) when ROTK comes out on DVD. I can't wait till November!

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> That is my extremely long list of the things that stuck out to me that no one has mentioned already or that you have metioned and I mentioned again. I am also gonna try the "Pippin Abuse!" thing! <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>Oh yeah, that's right! I have yet to make a list of instances of Pippin abuse in TTT and ROTK. Better get started...

Okay, fair warning all, this is a sick one, and I admit it's probably just a product of my own sick mind, but you may never be able to see this line in the same noble light after you read the below...In the TTT, just after the Rohirrim evacuate Edoras (right at the start of Disc 2 of the EE), Theoden is riding beside Aragorn and talking about his regret at missing out on his duty to Eowyn. There is a moment when he urges his horse forward a little, but since he is only shown from the waist up, it looks like he is pushing his groin back-and-forth in a sexually suggestive manner. And at that precise moment, he says: "I should have loved her as a father!"So every time I watch him make that rutting motion when he says that I'm thinking, "Wow, those Rohirric family units are DAMN tight." Enjoy.DB.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> For those of you who haven`t noticed, in The Two Towers when the Uruk-hai that are holding Merry and Pippin captive are being attacked by the Riders of Rohan, Merry and Pippin`s hands are tied together, right? Well when Pippin is about to be squashed by a horse, he rolls over on his back and his hands are at his sides! But that was before he cut them! I wonder why Peter Jackson didn`t catch that? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>And I wonder why you & I seem to be the only two people in the world to notice this!?!?! It is the biggest and most unforgiveable gaffe! (Easily fixed in editing.) The other one is a sad one to me, because it detracts from Boromir's death scene--watch his hand/arm move from one of Aragorn's shoulders to the other. Someone please tell someone at Weta to fix these things!Funnies to me are (I call them Monty Python Moments): The old geezer guy doorman/gatekeeper at Bree opening the peephole, and having just enough time to get wide-eyed before he's flattened by the door as 5 Nazgul gallop over it.Gimli's helmet hitting Balin's tomb--wah haw, thunk!The bruhaha as Gandalf strides purposefully down the middle of Meduseld toward Theoden while Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli run about doing the biff! oof! smash! and other assorted comic book onomatopeia type stuff, including the obligatory back armed fist of Legolas crunching the baddie behind him. S'just so silly!Last, in TT, just what is that whitish glob of stuff Aragorn spoons into his mouth from Eowyn's stew? Eeeeeyew!I've made notes of 2-3 things mentioned and am looking forward to spotting them. I've always marvelled at how, after at least 80 viewings, I still notice things in FotR EE I hadn't before. They're not often funny or gaffes, but nuances and story connections. It's odd, but the same thing doesn't happen in TT.

Eeeeeyew!<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>Well my sister and I have decided that the "glob" is most likely a large cotton ball. From the scene in the film we find that to be the only possibility.But we really don't know what it is. I guess only the guys at Weta, and Viggo himself know truely what it is made of But it sure is funny

In TTT at Helm's Deep, Gimli kills one orc, then another one climbs up a ladder and gets hit by Gimli's axe. Did anybody notice where the axe hit him?Ouch.

There are countless things in these movies that make me crack up, but i wont waste the whole day saying them. here are a few-

-FOTR: At Parth Galen when you see all of the orcs going to kill Boromir there are some orcs that go the stairs. The first ten sprint down the stairs but the last two walk down each one of the stairs and its so un-orkish. its really funny.
-FOTR EE: After the gifts of Galadriel when Galadriel says "Do not worry young Peregrin took you will find your courage." look at merry's face, he looks really silly.
-ROTK: When the rohirrim are charging down onto Pelennor fields Eomer is holding a spear and making the best face ever. He is baring his teeth and he looks rabid.
-ROTK: At the end when the fellowship comes in to frodo's bedchamber there two things.
1) When Gimli is standing in the doorway look at his eyes. They look like crazy eyes from mr. deeds
2)when pippin and merry are on the bed merry kind of does a belly flop. in the next shot they focus on frodos face and you can see pippin mouth "what was that?" (at least thats what it looks like hes saying) its my favorite billy and dom scene in all of the movies because it looks like peter said go ahead do whatever you want!
-ROTK: If you watch the part right after eowyn kills the witch king and look at her face she kind of just stands in the background like hmmm... what to do next and then the camera focuses back on her and shes like omg! i have to act! thats right!(its especially funny because in the book eowyn is supposed to completely lose all of her strength right after she stabs him)
-ROTK: At last scene when frodo kisses sam before hes about to leave middle earth look at either billy or dom (i forget) one of them makes a really silly face like they're scoffing frodo and sam for taking so long.

Okay, like everyone, I haven't read all of this thread, so this might have been out, but...

When Frodo is stabbed on weathertop he makes this really exhausting scream, like he just did a lot of work, and then exhales loudly. It really reminds me of a child birth. But the real killer is that Sam rushes over and Frodo says"O, Sam" in such a weird, almost queer, voice. That always cracks me up.

I mentioned something about this earlier, but having seen ROTK a few times I thought you might like to know.

At Helm's Deep, one of the elves gets shot off the wall. On the way down, he screams "AIYOWWW!" or something like that.

In ROTK, when Faramir and his men are retreating from Osgiliath, one of the Nazgul's beasts picks up a guy in its talons and then drops him. The guy screams, and it sounds exactly the same as the scream mentioned above.

But that's not all. That scream has been in many other movies. In Star Wars, a storm trooper gets shot off a ledge and he makes that scream, then later in Return of the Jedi some random alien falls into that pit on Tatooine and makes the same scream. It's also heard in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade when a random guy gets machine gunned by a Nazi out in the desert during the "tank scene". I've heard it might be the sound guy's signature, but I'm not really sure.

The funny thing is, at least among my friends and myself, I am the only person who notices this scream popping up all over the place. Am I going crazy or something???

This morning before school, I walked into my brothers room to find him scrubbing at his bed sheet. For some stupid reason he had slept with a pen in his pocket and it exploded. I couldn`t help myself. Grinning at him in a Gollumish way I replied, "What`s it doing?! You stupid fat Hobbit! It ruins it!!!" Then I ran out of the room lughing my head off. It was so funny! The way he looked at me looked just like the way Sam always looks at Gollum!

I feel sorry for your brother, he seems not to be the only one with a Gollum-wannabe brother... My brother is only five years younger than me (in other words he's about 17), and loves to visit me, which his main reason for the visit is to annoy me while i'm trying to fill out bills, paper work, ect. He never visits on the weekends, he insists that weekend visits are for "the normal". Anyway, my brother happens to be a human version of a walking stick insect, as along with me was raised on fish (We both love sushi, and consume other sea-life with utter bliss) and loves Gollum. So, whenever he stops by for a visit, i become (in his eyes) a frodo/sam and as such crawls around on the floor poking at my pockets asking, "What's in its pocketsssss preciousss?" Last time i just gave up ignoring him and gave him what resided in the side of my pocket, a paper clip and a week old peice of gum. He wasn't amused, and gave up. Then he crawled and sat on the couch and watched the sundance channel on television. That's how most of my thursdays are spent.

The strange thing is, My brother looks like Sam (His head, as I explained before, he is very, very slim.). As for me, people have said I look like a female Aragorn... :confused: I really don't see a resemblance though. Ok, i'll stop talking and typing now, though i know most of you have died from boredom by now. Sorry.

Has anyone noticed that in the T.T movie when the ladder is cout down and it starts to fall that one of the orcs makes a funny sound. It sounded like Fozzy Bear going "Waka waka waka". After i heard that I commented that Fozzy's career had down falled and so he became a stunt double for movies!

I noticed that too, so I watched that part around 20 times to hear what he was saying. I came to the conclusion that it was "cowabunga."

According to my dad, one of the Gondorian soldiers says "d'oh!" while being hit with a large rock in ROTK, but I haven't had a chance to confirm this.

Meneltarmacil, I too have noticed that scream in all of those movies. I suppose that when you are looking for sounds for a movie, that is the "man falling" scream. Who knows?

At Pellenor, Glamdring (the semi-old aide to Theoden) is pretty much standing in up on his horse, whacking his his horse with the flat of his sword to make it go faster, and giving a really terriifying yell while charging the orcs. Very Creepy.

I think Aragorn's soup glop is crab meat. How they got it? Theoden's private stores, I bet (fresh from Umbar!).

The bed scene with the (surviving, lets not forget Boromir people!) members of the Fellowship in ROTK always reminds me of The Wizard of Oz. :smokin:

ah well I thought I'd include my own personal favorites from ROTK that haven't been mentioned thus far...

--One line: "It's sticky!" I don't know why this line always makes me crack up, it just does. Yes. Spider webs are sticky.
--When Pippin is pushing Faramir off of Denethor's pyre, he's pushing Faramir's face right into some flames. ouch!
--When the orc in Cirith Ungol says, "Hands off that shiny shirt," it sound like he says "Hands off that shiny sh**." I've had friends ask me, "did he just say what I think he said?"
--When Faramir is in Osgiliath and he's telling everyone to "Go back! Go back to Minas Tirith!" I always think he has a funny look on his face. It looks like he's putting his lips inside his mouth - you know like how you would do to pretend you didn't have any teeth. I don't know that face always looks odd to me.
--When Ian McKellen was on Conan o'Brien, they showed the clip of him (Gandalf)talking to Pippin at Minas Tirith the "Is there any hope, Gandalf, for Frodo and Sam?" scene and I remember Mr.McKellen saying that they had Pippin kneeling in that scene so he would look hobbit size. I know they probably use that simple trick many times throughout the movie, but at that scene I always picture Billy on his knees behind the railing.

oh man I love this thread...
