Re: THE LORD OF THE RINGS

Just wanted to throw in and give Jeffery some props. He was fantastic. He is an added dimension that you guys have not had before: a very strait commentary without trying to be funny or a story teller, a true critic. I would love to hear him on a panel. Love all you guys also, just really liked his takes. It was refreshing and he has a great voice for the show.

Re: THE LORD OF THE RINGS

The burning Ent in the Two Towers has always been called "Jacko" among my friends.

Personally I liked the Treebeard in the movies. It may be a nostalgia as he was pretty much as I had imagined him when I read the books when I was young.

But to me the best part of John Rhys-Davies Treebeard is his rendition of the burárum speech. Whenever my son is sick or is fighting the brave fight against going to sleep. I take the little guy on my shoulder and do my Treebeard impression. It usually does the trick in less than five minutes. I guess it’s the rhythm and the rumbling of the voice that puts the boy under.

Awesome story. Was the ring always worn as a necklace?

Aw, thank you. I was reminded of it listening to the LOTR commentaries smile

No, just the first few times it changed hands. After that it was on the hand.

Re: THE LORD OF THE RINGS

Good grief, is National Treasure the only movie he actually survived?

Who is his agent and what kind of negotiations does the guy do for Bean? I mean, I have heard of having tough roles, but this guy gets some tough death scenes.

God loves you!

Re: THE LORD OF THE RINGS

Sharpe was a fantastic series and that's the role I most associate with Sean Bean - which makes his line of dialogue in FOTR when he cuts himself on a shard of Narsil amusing. Whilst I agree having an interest in the period helps, I'd say it's that good that it could even make one interested in the history.

Re: THE LORD OF THE RINGS

Took me a while, but i just got finished with the podcasts.  bravo.  you guys covered a ton of ground, with limited retelling of stories...not an easy feat.

i'm sort of exhausted after listening...i can't imagine how beat you must have been after (or how good those post cast beers were).

also, my wife and i went to see Fellowship in san diego.  it was opening week, so the place was packed and mostly silent.  about 20 minutes in, a cell phone went off.  the guy next to me picks up his phone and starts talking.

without any hesitation, my wife and i both turn and say "are you fucking kidding me?" at the same time... he sized me up, then sheepishly put away his phone.

the movie (and marriage) continued without any more interruptions.
