Sean Bean not right for Boromir - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

ninlaith · 07-13-2004, 06:43 PM

Sean Bean was an ok Boromir. The only reason I say that, however, is because they didn't go as in depth as I had hoped. You can only fit so much into 3 1/2 hours. But what really sparked my interest in Sean Bean was extra footage he was in concerning Faramir's flashback in the Two Towers. His work in that one scene was otherworldly or Middle-earthly....ha ha ha....oh nevermind...

Can no one recognize good satire and whimsey anymore? Danny DeVito was a JOKE suggestion folks, nothing more.

Although I think Don Knotts might have done better as Aragorn...

For those of you who didn't recognize the Danny DeVito suggestion as a joke: how about casting him and his wife, Rhea Pearlman (Carla on Cheers) as the Sackville-Baggins'...now that I could see

Mirabella, that's positively inspired! And you wouldn't have to have any special tricks to make him look hobbit-height...

I responded to the Danny DeVito thing and realized a little later that it could have been a joke. However than it was already to late.

Doesn't matter, it is just that sarcasm doesn't get to me very well on internet.

Ah, now you know the mystery behind my misuse of smileys (especially in the bd chat room)
