Thumbs up

My absolute favorite Gandalf quote, and it has me wanting to rewatch the movies too. It's been a long time!

Just got the chance to watch it, and I couldn't agree more. Although it dtill doesn't make me want to rewatch the movies. But maybe listen to more Ian McKellen Gandalf quotes. Won't be able to watch it live, but hopefully will have a chance to see it later.

That was amazing. Best moment was when Liv Tyler was being kind of mediocre with her lines, and then suddenly drops into fluent, rapid-fire Elvish. Jaw-drop!

Here is the link; it's 50 minutes long, and entirely worthwhile.

Thank you Huey. Sort of typing as I'm listening...

Hehe, Viggo casually throwing out his passion for Celtic myth, as in a "doesn't everyone do this" way.

Hey it's the entire Fellowship. And I really would like to spend a day in John Rhys-Davies' library...looks like it would be interesting.

Ian McKellan mixing up his line "A wizard is never late Bilbo Bagg...I mean Frodo" Poor guy. Elijah Wood had a small cameo but Ian is the only actor to reprise his role in a major part in The Hobbit. Naturally he stumbled up a bit.

How does Smeagol/Gollum social distance? Big question I think we all wanted to know.

The nod to Christopher Lee. Well done.

Bernard Hill showing up at the very end after everyone's left.

Very revealing that PJ would contrast "boring dialogue scenes" with doing "something cool."

And this (during filming): "We believe that Gollum is going to be even bigger than Jar-Jar Binks."
