Samwise · 07-17-2003, 06:59 PM

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

Anyway, QUOTE on!~

Cinderella · 07-17-2003, 07:03 PM

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 · 07-17-2003, 07:07 PM

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 · 07-17-2003, 07:12 PM

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 · 07-17-2003, 07:13 PM

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 · 07-17-2003, 07:18 PM

Nope, not Elijah

Eruwen · 07-17-2003, 07:21 PM

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

Cinderella · 07-17-2003, 07:26 PM

Not Sean either!

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

Luthien_ Tinuviel · 07-17-2003, 07:45 PM

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

Eruwen · 07-17-2003, 07:46 PM

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 · 07-17-2003, 07:50 PM

No and no

Think outside both boxes [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

vanwalossien · 07-18-2003, 05:03 AM

Karl Urban?

Eruwen · 07-18-2003, 08:14 AM

Bernard Hill?

Cinderella · 07-18-2003, 10:29 AM

No and no again... a clue perhaps?

Luthien_ Tinuviel · 07-18-2003, 10:49 AM

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 · 07-18-2003, 10:55 AM

Nope but you're ever so close Luthien

Luthien_ Tinuviel · 07-18-2003, 11:24 AM

Ah! It must be Eowyn!

Cinderella · 07-18-2003, 07:20 PM

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 [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Your go!

Luthien_ Tinuviel · 07-19-2003, 06:33 PM

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

Quote:

The Hobbit! The Lorax! The Lorax!

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

Cinderella · 07-19-2003, 06:56 PM

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

Mr. Elijah Wood possibly?

Luthien_ Tinuviel · 07-19-2003, 07:18 PM

noooooo.....

Cinderella · 07-19-2003, 07:23 PM

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

How about Ian Holm?

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

Samwise · 07-19-2003, 09:33 PM

"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 · 07-19-2003, 09:57 PM

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 · 07-19-2003, 10:01 PM

Ian McKellen? [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img] [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img] [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img]

Luthien_ Tinuviel · 07-20-2003, 04:45 PM

Quote:

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. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Samwise, you got it right with your first guess. I figured I'd put up an obscure Sean Astin [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] 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 · 07-20-2003, 10:13 PM

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

Samwise · 07-20-2003, 10:19 PM

Okay, here we go:

Quote:

"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 · 07-21-2003, 12:35 PM

Viggo?

Horse-Maiden of the Shire · 07-21-2003, 12:39 PM

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

Samwise · 07-21-2003, 01:07 PM

Quote:

Or, maybe Orlando Bloom?

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

Horse-Maiden of the Shire · 07-21-2003, 02:52 PM

Woo hoo! Okay, here I go:

Quote:

...looking like this desperate Rasputin character...

Orofaniel · 07-21-2003, 03:05 PM

Is it Elijha?? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Luthien_ Tinuviel · 07-21-2003, 06:36 PM

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! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Horse-Maiden of the Shire · 07-21-2003, 06:39 PM

Neither the Bean nor the Wood.

Luthien_ Tinuviel · 07-21-2003, 07:43 PM

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 · 07-21-2003, 09:59 PM

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 · 07-22-2003, 04:56 PM

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

Quote:

He is forced to act.

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

Samwise · 07-22-2003, 05:12 PM

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

Viggo Mortensen?

Cinderella · 07-22-2003, 06:07 PM

No clue here either, but how about Elijah??
