I'm in the shower.
I've never heard him speak without a script but 'A History of Violence' was great.
No.
But he's destined to become King of Gondor...
A moose stuned my beeber.
Amazing, isn't it, how he makes a great movie about standing up to evil, and in real life he is an appeaser.
I bet Hugo thinks he's hughly series.
I can understand why Viggo was dying to play the part.
Another Hollywad Lefty displaying his geopolitical genius.
He's a hero in Dummyland.
Wasn't he in a horror movie called Ghostbusters?
You're talking about Aragunt?
These Hollywood commies are laughing all the way to the bank. Vigo Mortensen's latest is very violent. The liberal movie reviewers love the movie.
He even said that Bush was as evil as Saddam Hussein
Another courageous cue-card reader standing up and boldly
repeating what every other BB-brain in Hollywood is saying.
I'm really glad there wasn't an article here, so I wouldn't have to decide not to read what that idiot might be saying!
What show?
Mr. Mortensen needs to be reminded that entertainers and prostitutes are on the same level. They both give you a certain amount of pleasure in exchange for money. That's as far as the relationship goes. No self-respecting person would ever be seen in the company of either an entertainer or a prostitute.
I liked the movies, but had several complaints about them. One was Faramir, who was stupidly made into a Boromir clone instead of a complete contrast to his brother as in the books. Another was Gimli, who was made into a one-liner joke instead of the rather complex role he plays in the books. Another was Aragorn, who was made into a typical Hollywood style pretty boy instead of a strong, kingly aristocrat in disguise. Another was Merry and Pippin, who were also played for cuteness and laughs without any concept that they both belonged to proud ancient families in the Shire. Another was Theoden, who remains a decrepit fool for far too long, instead of recovering his majestic heroism as in the book. Another was . . .
Well, most of these problems arose because the movie was too Hollywoodish, too modern-egalitarian, too ignorant of the heroic world of the Anglo-Saxons on which Tolkien drew, with NO IDEA of what it means to be a noble hero--stress on nobility, honor, duty, and knightly courage. The director was pressed hard by Tolkien fans to be true to the books, but he only partly succeeded. Where he departed from them, it was always for the worse.
Actually, it's not entirely a joke to say that Aragorn plays a minor role in the movie, because he does. He never really rises to the challenge.
