I've spent most of today watching the ROTK commentaries and fangirling Bernard Hill. I would watch a Rohan movie. Just Theoden, Eomer, Eowyn, Gamling and their five million horses that no ecosystem could ever support.

Dear Mr. Hill,

I know you're quite a bit older than me and probably married and everything, but you really do look rather delicious in that bit where you're charging into battle and

Love the Dom and Billy too, of course. (For the people I live with, since this has caused confusion before: Billy is the Scottish one. Dom is the one in Lost.) Everyone in the world's mentioned Dom's "I want to hold [Elijah] and make it all better", which made me snerk. My favourite was the fascinated discussion over whether Eowyn was wearing any knickers.

Dear Mr. Hill,

You do have such a lovely voice in the movies, especially that Where is the horse and the rider speech, and if I was Gamling *I'd* find you that horse

Andy Serkis speaking in the Smeagol/Gollum voice got a bit annoying though.

Theoden rules the internets

OMG, the commentaries!!!! I haven't been able to post on them since I've been so busy this week, but AMEN to all of what you said. I love hearing Bernard Hill speak, and to top it off he's funny too. I rank him up there with Dom and Billy as to who I like on the commentary.

I wish they'd split up the commentaries so you could watch the whole thing with just one or two of the actors talking for the whole thing. Because although it may be remarkably shallow, I don't really want to know any deep thoughts the actors had during the scene or how it relates to current events. I want the funny!

Smeagol/Gollum should just stay dead.

Couldn't agree more. Every time they cut back to Sean Astin I sulked. I want to hear the entire commentary by either Dom and Billy or Bernard Hill, making up silly lines at serious bits.

Of course, the movie would probably have to be spread over 20 discs...

I didn't mind the people who played Eomer and Eowyn (sp? I'm too lazy to reach over and look at the book) or Liv Tyler. They didn't suck. They could forget Orlando completely, and I'd be okay with that. Gimli and Saruman had some interesting things to offer at times, as well as Gandalf. But certainly Sam, Frodo, and Gollum could go on their own commentary and you could listen to that neveranytime you wanted to think and be depressed.

I really want Viggo to talk though. Why can't he do commentaries? *pout*
