I smell cheeze. - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Simple topic here, what are your cheeziest lines from any of the LOTR films?

Mine would have to be in ROTK, with Gandalf and Aragorn sitting around in Meduseld.

Quote:

Aragorn: What does your heart tell you?

Or...

in TTT EE

Quote:

Legolas: 42...he was still twitching.

That I don't know why PJ decided to give them each an extra kill and just that whole I tied you crap. Anyway...I do like Gimli's line that follows, that I got a laugh out of

He was twitching because he's got MY axe IMBEDDED INTO HIS NERVOUS SYSTEM!

I could go on about the stupid lines from the movies... But, i'll reserve this to the fortunate few who are in a class of their own...

1. "The horses are restless, the men are quiet." - Legolas (yet another update from Captain Obvious) ROTK

2. "I do not doubt his heart, only the reach of his arm. " - Eomer

...And more to come later... once i rack my brain out...

I hate the lines some characters have in the movie... completely ruins them. Like poor Gimli, i swear in the book he is ten times more serious. Not an elves' puppet, but a good friend to one.

"A diversion!" Ack. Wrecks the scene.

I know there are more but I haven't seen any of the movies in several months now.

The cheesiest scene would have to be when Frodo wakes up in the Fields of Cormallen...

*Frodo wakes up, sees Gandalf and says in a dumb voice "Gan - dalf?"
Enter Merry and Pippin (I think), who *leap* on the bed.
Slowly the fellowship appears in the room, as the scene gets progressively worse. Even the music is cheesy. What could be a very sweet and moving scene became an extremely cheesy (and in turn, extremely hilarious) scene.*

The only scene that is nearly as bad is the scene when the Hobbits reunite in Rivendell - cheesy laughter, exaggerated movements...

(Those aren't really lines but they fit the bill).

Here are some more cheesy lines in chronological order. From FOTR, "What’s this? A ranger caught off his guard?" combined with Arwen putting a knife at Aragorn's throat. From the TTT Treebeard saying "Sounds like orc mischief to me." I agree about "what does your heart tell you?" From ROTK the Arwen lines "You have the gift of foresight what did you see?..." and then "You saw that there was a child. You saw my son."

Anything by Legolas. Anything. They turned him into a stuntspiece who spewed one-liners.
Anything likewise by Gothmog. (The Sta-Puft Marshmallow orc.) "Feahhhh...hehthe city is rank with it." "Fah-stahhhhhh!" hatehatehatehate hate hate. I can't wait to see his EE death scene. >

And as good as Gimli started out, they turned him into a bumbling comic relief. Why? Why? Why?

Eowyn: "Why can't Merry fight for those he loves?"

Anything by Arwen. Aragorn's "Dwelling in the days of peace" speech at his coronation. And the style that Gandalf spoke in was cheesy to me. "Theodred's death, was not of your making." Remind me to finish my vocal LotR parody someday...

"The Lord of the Rings" is great to MST. Ha ha ha. That's why I love the New Movie Script and Crazy Scenes sooo much.

I think the most cheezy lines come from Captain Obvious himself. Examples:

"A diversion!"

"Goblins!"

"The horses are restless, and the men quiet."

Woo! Captain Obvious™ strikes again! As Merry so eloquently said in the Stupid Ring Parody, "Thank you, oh wonderous elf, for your overwhelming ability to state the obvious. I am so not worthy of being in your presence." w00t.

Although, one of Eomer's lines really prompted an MST from me:

"That mountain is evil."

Saphy: Aw, that's what you said about all the mountains!

Eomer: *pouts* I just wanted some attention...

Then there are Aragorn's most cheezy lines:

"Legolas, what do your elf-eyes see?"

"Let's hunt some orc."

*sigh* Poor, poor guys. *patpats the purveyors of cheezy lines*

Abedithon le,

"What's this? A ranger caught of his gaurd?"

"Legolas! What do your elf eyes see?" ( thanks for the clarification there, Aragorn, for a second we'd forgotten he was elven

)

The short jokes got really cheezy really fast.

"A diversion."

Unfortunately, the whole sequence following Frodo's awakening in Gondor near the end of RotK was pretty cheezy. From the "Gan-dalf?" line that Firefoot mentioned earlier, to the very fake sounding laughter he was forcing, to the incredibly wierd look he gives Sam when he comes in. It reeked of parmesan cheese 4 months past the expiration date.
