FINALLY getting around to reading the LotR series after years and years of getting distracted every time I start it. I read The Hobbit in two days (couldn't bring myself to put it down for more than a few minutes ^^  and have discovered that Bilbo Baggins reminds me of Arthur Dent in the whole unwilling-hero aspect; except Bilbo gets dragged off by dwarves and Arthur gets dragged off by his best friend and semi-mad Betelgeusian hitchhiker, but they're both miffed enough about getting pulled away from their cozy home and missing tea and meals and all that vitally important business. So, I can see why they've gotten Martin Freeman to play him. I thought he did excellent as Arthur Dent and was one of very few parts of the HG movie I wholly approved of... so I guess I have to approve of him playing Bilbo by default. Right? *confused about own opinions* Either way, I think I'm already turning into a bit of a fangirl... and I'm not even halfway through Fellowship. I'm practically going to be armflailing by the last book if this keeps up. Though finding out that the rumors of David Tennant playing Thranduil weren't true broke my spirit just a little teency bit. *believes David Tennant needs to be in every movie ever* >_> Doctor Who has ruined me. *facedesk* I rather wish Matt Smith would unregenerate back into David Tennant. |

I saw 'Thranduil' in your post and I've come to fangirl with you... -yay- O.o I see what you mean about Bilbo being like Arthur; that's so cool! Though for me right now Freeman is Watson in Sherlock. I'm going to be in stitches for the Bolbo & Smaug scenes in the film cause he's gonna be voiced by Benedict Cumberbatch who Sherlock in the same series. Bilbo is epic; he is the best of the hobbits. Personally I can't think who else could have played him.. apart from Ian Holm again but to be honest I don't think that would work and Freeman can mimick Holm's voice fairly well. -hug- When I saw Tennant hadn't been cast I just stared at the computer screen for a bit... okay a while. But Lee Pace has grown on me; he can yell and has a cute smile. Hehe. He's so tall though! I can't imagine him blond... but then if I hadn't seen the LotR films I wouldn't be able to imagine Bloom blond either. (And don't worry; I don't like him but he was the comparison that sprang to mind.) After hearing his 'French' accent I really wanna hear Pace speak in Sindarin. XD I'm really worried about what they'll make the Wood-Elves look like; they're tweaking even the old costumes so they won't all be in something like what Legolas was wearing in the LotR films. I think they're making everything darker but don't quote me on that. People tell me not to worry and that Jackson will visualise it well and I wish I could agree with them but the Dwarves look terrible. DX K, I'm going to stop myself now but one more thing: as you read would you agree that Legolas acts like he's on something?  |

Yay! -tackleglomp-
Martin Freeman as Watson! I'm going to hunt down this series immediately. Though he'll still probably always be Arthur Dent to me -yay- he played Arthur exactly as I pictured him even with the crumby script he had to work with. He and Alan Rickman were the only highlights of that movie for me. Can't wait to see him as Bilbo, though. I ended up poking around behind-the-scenes stuff on youtube to see if I could find anything filming of scenes with Bilbo but I didn't manage to. Just a few videoblogs about the filming that made me spazz a bit more.
Weeellll it might be good on my part that Tennant wasn't cast. He and Freeman being in the same film would just be fuel for thoughts of Doctor Who/Hitchhiker's Guide crossover, and I already push enough of that out of my head on a regular basis without further encouragement. It would have been brilliant, but I really don't want Death By Fangirling written on my gravemarker so I know absolutely nothing about Lee Pace except what I've seen on imdb and that's mostly just that he's going to be in The Hobbit playing Thranduil >< Though honestly, I think I could see him blond quite a bit more easily than I could Orlando Bloom. Even though we've already seen him blond. If this makes any sense and I'm not just rambling pointlessly. Honestly, I think I'll be at least remotely okay with the wood elves as long as they look like actual elves and absolutely nothing like the wood elves from the Rankin/Bass animated movie. They looked like tree-goblins or something there. And I don't even know what a tree-goblin is. *shudders*
LOL only a bit xD Though I may not honestly be far enough to give any real opinion yet on Legolas. I've been reading much more slowly than usual because I've been distracted by NaNoWriMo preparations. Which is also why I didn't even notice your reply until just now, I haven't looked at my journal lately... *-shakefish- @ Janus for not letting her do anything but NaNoPrep with her spare time*

When I'm not interested in having a social life, everyone's like "Omg you're so cool come hang out with me plz  ." And when I am interested in having a social life, my phone lay silent. I give up. When I grow up, I wanna be a hermit. ~_~ |

My newest muse has taken to referring to me as authoress, mistress, or Mistress Comma. Don't get me wrong, it's nice having such an obedient muse for a change, but it still seems awkward when your main muse's nickname for you is Schitzo or the Schitzo.

I cringe when I read over sentences in my writing that start with proper or improper nouns representing a person or people, and I've just remembered why. I had a teacher for a gifted-and-talented program in my primary school that made me absolutely paranoid of starting sentences in my writing with "I," "He," "She," "They," "We," or the name of a character. It affects me to this day and keeps me in check from using traditional and blandly plain sentence structures too often. To be honest, I'm not sure if I'm mildly irritated about it because it makes up at least 30% of the reason I get irritated with most of my own writing and criticize myself so harshly; or thankful to her for keeping me in check in my writing despite my not having seen her since early middle school. Can I be a little of both, maybe?

GAH, that's done... except now I'm stuck in productive mode. >.> Maybe I'll work on fixing up my journal. I have a few too many threads pinned...

Well, I'm supposed to be going to the movies tomorrow, but if I'm still feeling like this by then, I think I might just remained curled up in the corner of my bed all day tomorrow, feeling like death and waiting for medicine that isn't going to kick in to kick in, as well. Since that's likely what I'll be doing today.

Star Wars in digital 3D? Sure! Even if I'm not quite as big a fan as my brother. He went from, "Well, I'm going to wait a couple weeks to go see it so it's not so crowded," to, "Okay, maybe a few days," to "OMG IT'S STAR WARS IN 3D WE MUST GO NOW."

Star Wars Episode 1 ---> imdb ---> Ewan McGregor ---> He's almost 41?! WTF. ---> I don't care, he's still adorable. ---> Oh jeez, brain, really? What is it with you and Scotsmen and Irishmen?
I need to go to bed. As soon as I reply to that RP thread I'm in, I'm going to bed an passing out.

*facedesk* But I just got over being sick! It's not fair! GODS I can't wait until I'm living alone. Then I'll at least have the option to stay away when everyone else is sick.... Got one RP post done. Going to have to wait on everything else until my head doesn't feel like it's trying to split in two  |

Part of a review on one of my many Death Note fics.
Needless to say, a certain shinigami of mine has just gone off on an excessively lengthy ego trip. At least this means he's not mad at me about being turned into a human for a week any more, I guess....

Obviously I'm not allowed to be happy for more than twenty-four hours at a time.

I hate being empathic. I hate that every argument around here, no matter how I try to ignore it, whether it involves me or not, both physically and emotionally hurts me. Now I'm sick because of my nerves, again.
I don't know how I'm going to survive if I stay here for any longer.

That awkward moment when you realize that your male friends only seem interested in hanging out with you when they're single....
