Dragon Warrior

No, they didn't burn it done, but they did take it done for the purposes of not being allowed to keep it up :) Like so many other sets. Rohan was built on Mt. Sunday, but the owners said they had to leave it the way it was. So they scooped up squares of the ground to make roads and such and then preserved the pieces of ground and plants in a special garden until they were done with the scene. They actually did burn one set, but mostly by accident XD And yes, Weta Workshop made all the props and such by hand. Even some guys worked for 3 years by doing nothing, but chainmail. They had to put little plastic rings together everyday. Eek. They didn't have fingerprints on their thumbs and index fingers after that!

Episodes? >: o Shame on you, Ms. Deeds! They're movies ;_; But yeah, thanks ^_^ Elmo is a seperate evil. The koalas are as well.

Well, it's not so much as to when they graduate from a school or whatnot, it's more of how well they act and as we've all seen in LOTR and Pirates of the Caribbean both, he's a splendid actor. I for one want to be an actor when I grow up and I recieved good news a couple of months ago about a large play for 14-19 year olds called "The Hobbit". No coincidence there. It's the Tolkien book! I almost died because I just had to have a part in there. I was aiming towards more Bilbo Baggins, at first, but then my friend Matt kept telling me I'd make an excellent Gollum. I was like "Damn Gollum! He's not like me." But dangit, when I tried the Andy Serkis version of his voice, I could do it! Everyone was like, "Dude! That's his voice!" So I said "Meh, I'll audition for him too." Now, a few weeks ago, my mom revealed a paper that had news on the auditions for The Hobbit since long ago when I first heard about it, they didn't have a scheduled date. I felt kind of down since the auditions were done on tape and had to be sent in and after my last (and I must save terrible) experience with taped auditions, I was afraid it may turn out bad. But I put that aside and said to myself, "You can do it, Gavynn! You're a sexy beast!" Then another thorn broke the skin when I saw the performers had to be able to SING! Damn, my voice! I can't sing worth shizzle. I moped about that, I did. Today, I asked for that paper about the auditions, but it turns out my mom threw it away ;_; I must figure out how to get an audition in before it's too late! Gollum doesn't sing pretty anyways O.o I'll be doing his voice.

Thanks for all the votes, people.

I liked Gimli too. John Ryes Davies was an excellent choice to play as him. Though, the funny thing is he's such a big man and dwarves are smaller than the average human size so it's just a crazy thought. If any of you know what I'm talking about, John played as that arabian friend of Indiana's in the Indiana Jones series. He's the one big dude with the fez. So yeah, he's big. He also does the voice of Treebeard :)

Meh. They are quick drawings so they're nothing special. If I spent real time on detail and actually doing full potential, you wouldn't see these animations for another month or more XD

Actually, u didn't do anything >: o I just came up to you and said I needed another OB member to be the narrator and TOLD you you have to be him. So meh XD

Pippin's my favorite character. Ye,s it use to be Legolas, but after every got all giddy about him, I didn't like him that much. In other words, goofy fan-girls ruined it for me XD Say, I was reading my Gollum book last night and I read about how Andy figured out how to do Gollum's voice and it was quite a crazy experience. Ya see, he was thinking Gollum was in pain and misery all the time, which he was, but he needed to sound like it. So Andy believed he should have some kind of choking sound in his voice. As he pondered that in his kitchen, his cat, Diz, waltzed in and coughed up a huge furball on his kitchen floor. Not a charming sight, if you know what a furball looks like. So he cleaned it up. But later on when he was in bed thinking, he thought of the sound the cat made when it made it's "excretion". And BAM! That soon became the voice we now relate Gollum to. So, he was now with a voice and had to go to the audition for Gollum, which he was told to go to by his agent. When he performed his audition act for John Hubbard (casting director), John was amazed and asked "How did you do that?" I can do a Gollum voice, but Andy will always be the true Smeagol in our eye :)

Oh, it's an amazing film. In the first week, they made, like, 22 million dollars or so. I was amazed :) It's also one of the only trilogies ever made that the sequel to the last movie makes more. What I mean is the TT made more than FOTR and ROTK made more than the TT. :) Yays!

I've been slowly introducing new people. Note that Baron Samedi, Xra, and Zidargh are all new to this one. And my connection between the two I promised is the narrate not only mentions that he was in How the James Stole Christmas (even though he wasn't XD) and the midget beating, I guess you could count.

Heh. I know [i]all[/i] about how they did Gollum. Not only do I have those extended DvD sets, but I got a book on how they made movie magic with Gollum for Christmas. It's much simpler for them than you'd think. But Andy Serkis (Man who played as Gollum/Smeagol) had his rough points. One scene in the Two Towers, I recall from the behind the scenes junk, where Gollum is chasing a fish through a small stream, Andy actually did all that in the freezing cold water and on all those hard rocks. He most likely was bruised a bit. Though he was wearing a warm suit over the one he has to wear for the computer to work, he was still very cold after it and they ended up wrapping him in aluminum foil and a blanket to keep him warm XD

[b]Battle![/b] DW: I'll teach you for not knowing what Family Guy is! Little Kid: Huh? [i]Dragon Warrior casts Kill Little Kid and kills the kid.[/i] [b]BATTLE OVER.[/b] DW: I win :< Doctor: You killed my son. Come with me. [i]The doctor leads Syk and DW to a mysterious cave outside the town. Putting aside the fact that DW was decapitated, Syk had been kicked where it counts, and an old man is still in the village battling a broom, they enter.[/i] Syk: What is this place? Doctor: I dunno. (leaves) DW: I smell farts. >: o Audience: Ewww... Syk: Oddly the entrance we just went through is closed off. We must find another way out. DW: Aye, aye! [i]And so they were off...[/i] [b]Meanwhile, at James' computer...[/b] James: Why do you keep coming back to me? >: O

Nope. I don't come to OB for anime anyways :) I come for movies/animations/stories, etc... anime is actually one of the last things I come here for. Though, I do like some. If an Otaku was a person who has been here a long time and enjoys himself here, I'd be it. But for anime purposes, nope :)

Oh, aye, they do. Good thing Jackson got that Weta Workshop to make the props and costumes for them. I've watched the extended DvD versions for both Fellowship and the Two Towers and all together, that's about 12 hours of behind the scenes junk. It truely is a magical way they make things. To think that lots of the forests (especially the one Treebeard lives in) was made inside a studio and it's a fake forest. They actually redid that forest about 6 or 7 times before they got what they wanted :) And as for the dragon... you mean Smogg? (Smaug, Smog... God I can't remember how to spell it XD)

Thanks, Kyokokeiji! I believe after another day, I shall finally stop the poll and take the winner as the main character. Yays! Go Mr. T!

[i]The door opens and they collapse in the Middle Ages.[/i] Syk: How come we collapsed? DW: It's so magical :< Syk: What's that coming toward us? DW: I want to touch plants ;_; Syk: Is that a black knight with a mace? DW: That cloud is shaped like Rod Stewart in an erotic pose. Syk: I think he's coming to kill us! DW: Oh... wait... now it looks like Goldie Hawn. Syk: OMG! *ducks* DW: *gets his head chopped off* Syk: OMG! You okay, DW? DW: I feel... a bit dead... but yeah. I'm good. Syk: Stupid black Knight. Let's get you a doctor. [b]Later, in a medieval village...[/b] Syk: Why we didn't use a time machine to get to present times to save DW, I don't know... Old Man: Wanna fight? Syk: No. Shoo now. (sees a doctor) I say, sir! Can you help? Doctor: Sure. What you need? Syk: My friend seems to be decapitated. Old Man: Wanna fight? Syk: NO! Now go! (back to doctor) Can you sew back on his head? Doctor: I can try. Old Man: Why won't anyone fight? Syk: FINE! I'll fight! [b]BATTLE![/b]

Well, to satisfy you all, I couldn't look like a mage like last time since I had to resemble Mario in a way so meh ;_; Shinmaru was close to Luigi :)

Absolutely nothing. In fact, I love the guy who played Mini Me in Austin Powers. He's awesome. Midgets are great :)

This shall be a sucky show-like RPG where Syk3 and I will take turns posting parts of it. Feel free to read ;_; I have no idea what the real plotline is. [i]Dragon Warrior was working in his garage one day when Syk3 walks in eating a monkey's tail.[/i] Syk3: What's that? Dragon Warrior: I call it a time machine :) Syk: Looks stupid :< DW: JUst shows how much you know. Syk: What's it do? DW: Why, it takes you back in time! Syk: You built a machine for time travel and yet you can't even clip your own finger nails? DW: Meh. I've gotten use to them being this long. *chops off Syk's arm* Syk: Giggle giggle! DW: Let's go back in time to fulfill our life long dream of being Knights of an Oddly-Shaped Table! Syk: I thought our dream was to be on a Talk Show with Mickey Rooney :< DW: NO >: o Syk: Okay! Okay! ;_; [i]They both hop in a machine, it starts up, and they disappear through time![/i]

Yeah, but that's okay. My aunt didn't like Legolas because she didn't like his blonde hair-look and stuff, but she loved Aragorn even if her husband is a blonde :P Anyways, she later found out in real life Viggo (guy who plays Aragorn) is blonde and Orlando Bloom (Legolas) is a brunette. Oh, how things are so strange :) And I'm not trying to make another thread like my star wars one. I just used the 411 part because it was catchy =P

Correcto, Ms. Noelle! :) 1 point for you. Second question for KKC... [IMG]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?postid=537201[/IMG] [b]Q:[/b] In Episode 16 of Season 2 ("There's Something About Paulie"), who does Peter go to in the end to finally call off the hit on Lois?

Well, I am aware of there being threads for all of the books/movies, but there isn't one for all of them combined. Close this if you wish, mods, but I was just thinking there are things to discuss that involve all 3 (or 4 if you want to include The Hobbit). Things such as the making of the sets, the actors/actresses, the workers of the movies, the people who worked with Tolkien, and as such. There's more or less a wide variety of dicussion within the combination of these fine literatures and films. If this allowed to be here, let's talk LOTR. :)

Since dark_dragongirl didn't post within two days even with my PM to her, she'll have to sadly be taken out :( Noelle has kindly filled in. This question is for her... Noelle... [img]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?postid=536046[/img] [b]Q:[/b] In episode 6 of Season 1 ("The Son Also Draws"), what type of place does Lois bet the car and lose it?

*cough* Copied me. *cough* XD I'm in because I like the Simpsons. I don't know as much about them as Family Guy, though. But why not.

Heh. Yes. I made sure people knew who people were since, unlike in the last film, I didn't have them say who they were. :) Thanks, guys.
