Your favorite "Official Site" greeting? (A poll) - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Sangoff · 07-23-2002, 07:57 PM

If you've ever visited theOfficial LotR Site then you know that it has a greeting from one of the actors every time that you enter. So anyways, I was just wondering, which is your favorite greeting?

Mine would have to be either EW's or OB's. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Greetings, Sangoff! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
I think I either like Billy Boyd, Elijah Wood, or Sean Astin, all three of them sound so cheery!(to me, anyway)

Well my favorites are Dominic, Elijah, Sean, Billy and Orlando.
I love listening to the accents...

My favourites are Elijah, Dominic, Sean, Orlando, Billy... I can't decide to one. That's me. I'm undecided.

My favourite is Elijah Woods or Sean Astins cos they sound happy! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] I think Liv Tyler sounds really weird though!

Gamgee · 07-28-2002, 11:47 AM

well Sean and Elijah sound so happy and hobbit-like, and so do Billy and Dominic, but they have spiffy accents, and Orlando sounds so mysterious and dreamy...

Hey Gamgee, welcome to the Downs!!

I love the accents, and even though Viggo doesn't have one, I love his voice anyway, buuuut, if I had to pick one, my favorite would be BILLY!!! His voice is so cheery, his accent is so dreamy, and cute, and his voice is just so....well, yeah. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

The Silver-shod Muse · 07-29-2002, 09:39 PM

Liv Tyler sounds like she's still on her stolen elf-pedestal *grinds teeth*

Ian Holm sounds a little tired and grumpy.

I do believe that Billy Boyd gets my vote, although he sounds as if he's talking down a tunnel. What a cool accent! [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

Samwise · 07-30-2002, 09:59 PM

O'course, the voices of my two favorite "hobbits", Mr. Astin an' little Mr. Wood! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
(anyone log on to that site just to hear the voices.....? Ahem--never mind).

Samwise · 08-01-2002, 02:26 PM

Christopher Lee's voice sounds

kind of

(Probably part of the reason he played his part so well...

Eruwen · 08-01-2002, 02:33 PM

My favorites are Elijah, Billy, and Sean Astin. They all have such...I don't know...welcoming voices. {Ok, I know that just made no sense at all.} Let me re-phrase that. I like their voices. They sound really sweet and cool. Anyway, those are who I like. So I'm done now.

Ruthwen · 08-01-2002, 04:43 PM

I like Orlando, only he sounds... I don't know, sort of foreign. Almost American, really. *Ponders* Maybe it's from hanging out with loads of American people.

Whew! Me, neither!

Billy Boyd's my favorite; I just love his accent!

Samwise · 08-02-2002, 09:05 PM

Yes, he does have a nice accent. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] I just have a soft spot in my heart for Li'l Mr. Wood and Sam...er...Mr. Astin.... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

The first time I went to the site I had no idea about the welcome. I'm half deaf, so I can't tell where sounds are coming from, and for a split second I thought Liv Tyler was standing behind me - well, hoped [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
Liv Tyler's one is the best. she sounds nothing like her father (thank god - one aerosmitb is bad enough).

There was the dear master of the sweet days in the Shire. "Master!" cried Sam and fell upon his knees. In all that ruin of the world for the moment he felt only joy, great joy. The burden was gone.
