Okay, I just bought my copy of Main Street from Target a few days ago. I just watched it tonight. I was very well impressed. I'd never heard Colin Firth with an American accent, let alone a Southern accent, and I was quite impressed. I wasn't sure what to think of Ellen Burstyn or Patricia Clarkson, though. Of course, Orlando playing a cop was my favorite! The Southern accent was perfect, his mannerisms as a cop were also spot-on.
As for the characters, Georgiana was quite a pleasant character. I got the feeling there was something between Willa and Gus that didn't develop. I absolutely disliked Mary. I just got the feeling that she was really insensitive towards her parents, especially when she barely said goodbye. I wanted to shake her when she called Harris a "loser." Harris loved her and she was quite mean to him. I felt bad every time Harris called her and it went to voice-mail. I thought Harris was quite the gentleman, especially the way he talked to his "Mama." I really felt for him.
All in all, I was quite impressed. I thought it was a short, sweet movie. I'm glad I bought it.

I have a very funny feeling that we are in for a surprise. I have a feeling that we'll get a surprise like in Sir Peter's blog when we saw Sir Christopher Lee.

I didn't know Mr. Colbert was a Tolkien Geek.
I knew that a few months ago. Colbert had James Franco on his show and they were quizzing each other to see who was the bigger Tolkien geek.
I just can't wait until we see a picture of King Thranduil and his son, Prince Legolas!

I think Tauriel will be great. Sir Peter is a genius, so I believe he can do anything. He gave Arwen a much bigger part in the trilogy and that worked. This is going to be awesome!

After all, if he had not cast Orlando Bloom as Legolas and Legolas had not ridden into Rivendell many of us would not be here.
Legolas didn't just ride into Rivendell. He rode into our hearts.

! I love second breakfast!
Me too! I do it all the time, for special occasions anyway. In fact, Billy's birthday(as well as the day he met Orlando) was the 28th, so I had Hobbit meals from first breakfast to supper.
Hobbit meals are so much fun!
-
Where's the next video blog with King Thranduil and Prince Legolas? I'm waiting, PJ!

If I may say, Orlando once joked about doing Pirates until they were all wrinkled and walking with canes and such. I have a feeling that this is going to be a reality when you consider the fact that Johnny will be 50 in two years!

First of all, welcome, baby Flynn Bloom!
This guy is a handsome little man! I can already see the curls he will inherit from his daddy(and the Elf ears
)
I love little Flynn as I love his father!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ORLANDO!
You have made us happy ever since you donned that blond wig and pointy ears. I wish you all the best with your beautiful baby boy and I hope you have a happy day! :cheers:

Something like Will Legodbalian works.
What about William Joe de Ibelin?
-
YAY! Baby Bloom is here, and he's a mini-Orlando!
I can't wait to hear what they will name him, but I doubt we will have Orlando Jr.
Let's celebrate! Drinks all around!
-
Congratulations Orlando and Miranda! I pray God blesses you with happiness, laughter, love, children, and more.
I propose a toast to Mr. and Mrs. Bloom! :cheers:
-
Oh, Shadow! This made me snort my coffee!!! roll2.gif
Oh wait, I forgot to consider Sean Astin, Hugo Weaving, and Sir Ian McKellan.
We know Johnny won't do it because he's a pirate. Oh wait, Elijah or Andy can't because they'll just claim it for themselves and then dive into a volcano.

Shadow-I would love Sidi to be the best man. It would be fun to see him in a tux. teehee.gif But seriously, I think Sebastian will be the best man.
Marilyn, I don't think Sidi would even have to wear a tux because he's a black dog.
I do agree that his cousin could be the best man. Or it could be any one of his LOTR boys or his friend Chris. Who'll be his ring bearer? Elijah? Andy?
You know, if only we could see his wedding dance. That boy knows how to cut a rug.
When he dances, he reminds me of Jack Davenport in The Wedding Date, so goofy and adorable.
-
Will Sidi be his best man/pup?
just kidding.
I know it's a bit far ahead, but I cannot wait until the babies start coming. I can't wait until he has sons because they'll look like him and we'll all be
-ing over them.
I just celebrated last night by watching Kingdom of Heaven Director's Cut because Balian gets to be everything, and he gets the girl in the end.
-
I am absolutely jumping for joy for them! God Bless both of them.
Cheers to Orlando and Miranda!
:cheers:

To my darling Orlando,
HAPPY 33rd BIRTHDAY!
I wish you lots of love and blessings this year, as always!
Happy Birthday, Orlando sweetheart! :cheers:

Lord of the Rings in 3D? WOW! A 3D Prince Legolas! And the other men don't look bad either!
-
Whoo-Hoo! Happy Birthday, Tolkien!
The Professor! :cheers:
118 years old! He hasn't aged a day!
-
Top 5! YAY!
Course I don't know why he isn't number 1, when he's number one on everyone else's list!
He's the best actor on stage !
:cheers:

I just don't know why Briseis didn't play smart and stay celibate.
Achilles might have saved her from the Greeks, but he treated her poorly still. Even though he tought her something valuable, he still disrespected her faith. He also didn't save her until after the Greek soldiers beat her up and were about to brand her as their slave. And then he tried to strangle her before he killed Hector. And then he gave Hector no honor that he deserved. After all that, he expects her to forgive him?
I think if Achilles loved her, he would've treated her better than that. I think there was no honor or sense in Achilles killing Hector. He didn't feel any better afterwards.
It just doesn't make sense for Briseis to love a man who killed her cousin, whether she expected it or not. It still hurts, especially the way she lost Hector. If I were her, I'd stay as Apollo's servant.
By the way, Lovely Pride, nice Iliad synopsis too!
-
Not to be disrespectful, but they compare Orlando to Kevin Costner?! If I may say, Orlando can play Robin Hood better than Costner!
They were right when they say that it isn't fair to him to be overlooked. Orlando can do anything!
-
It just doesn't seem like love to me because she was literally begging Achilles on her hands and knees not to fight Hector and he just rode away from her.
I think it'd be one thing if he killed Hector, but he didn't just do that. He slaughtered Hector and then desecrated his body. I don't think it's right of Achilles to kill Hector only because of Patroclus. As Priam points out, how many fathers, sons, brothers, uncles, cousins did he kill?
Of course, I don't think Briseis would know too much about warriors being a Priestess in the Temple of Apollo.
I couldn't love a man who killed my beloved in such a brutal manner. It just didn't seem very loving of Achilles to spill Hector's blood and then tell Briseis he didn't want to hurt her because he already did. I think he was more motivated by revenge. If he were grieving, he wouldn't have dragged Hector's body back to his camp, I think.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ORLANDO
