LOTR not-30 Day Challenge Post 6

Here we go, my last post for The Lord of the Rings 30 Day Challenge. I enjoyed this so so much and would love to hear from your LOTR nerd-lings out there about your answers!

Off we go!

Day 26: CHARACTER YOU WISH HAD BEEN FEATURED IN THE MOVIES

Tom Bombadil

Haven't actually read the books before, I learned from my older brother the importance of Mr. Bombadil in the Fellowship of the Ring. Apparently he was the only creature in the whole of Middle Earth who couldn't be affected by the power of the ring. He was supposed to have met Frodo and Sam as they journeyed to the Prancing Pony at Bree in the movie. Interesting. I hope Peter Jackson includes this scene (if ever he shot it and he better have) in the ultimate edition of the Lord of the Rings where absolutely every scene, extended and deleted is included.

Day 27: RE-EDIT THE MOVIES: WHAT SCENE WOULD NOT MAKE THE CUT

Absolutely Nothing. To me, every scene in LOTR was exceptional and I just love, love, loved each scene! Even the deleted scenes in the extended edition is a part of my heart. Nothing, absolutely nothing.

Day 28: A SCENE THAT ALWAYS MAKES YOU CRY

Sam carries Frodo

The movie was far too epic for me to shed some tears but there were a lot of scenes that really saddened me.

Fellowship of the Ring:

• Gandalf's falling to shadow
• Boromir's tragic death.

The Two Towers: Hmm, I can't really remember anything that made me that sad. Aragorn's supposed death wasn't really that sad because I knew he'll live.
Edit: I found a sad one! Haldir's death! Ugh, stupid Uruk-Hai! Haldir was the bomb!

Return of the King:

• Faramir's facial expression when his father told him to take back Osgiliath even if it means he'll die.
• When Denethor said that he wished Faramir died and Boromir had lived (so shattering) instead.
• Theoden's death
• Eowyn's supposed death especially when her anguished brother, Eomer cried.
• When Sam said his infamous line to Frodo, "...I can't carry it for you, but I can carry you!"

Day 29: WHATEVER TICKLES YOUR FANCY

I very much disliked Denethor so I can't help but scream, "You go G!" Gandalf did me proud... :')

Okay, I'm a sucker for romance stuff and I have to say that this scene was incredibly sweet! Dear old Pete didn't include this in the final cut (yet again!) but did show the coronation of Aragorn where we see the two sweethearts together and I knew that they were together! This scene just proved it after I watched the Return of the King extended edition recently. They didn't give their relationship enough depth as it should have been given and besides, they're so cute together! My favourite male character and my favourite female character. Yay love!

Oh my gosh

Alright, I had my fun, onward then, to the very last question of the challenge.

Day 30: FAVOURITE LINE OR SCENE FROM THE TRILOGY

"I am no man!"

As a girl and proud of it, I absolutely, magnificently adored the fact that my favourite female character in the movie, namely the beautiful Eowyn, destroyed the Witch King with those powerful words. Definitely my favourite line in the trilogy. You go girl!

And that is it fellow LOTR nerd-lings, LOTR fans, non-fans (and you're missing out), anonymous and those who have no idea what these last 7 posts meant, but though I bid thee farewell, there are still more interesting things to come.

 Day 16: THE UGLIEST ORC OR URUK

Gothmog

Epitome of the word 'Ugly'. It was just retardedly ugly! I don't know exactly what happened to his face. Actually I do. Peter Jackson just couldn't help but splatting moulds of clay-ish type things to the pre-made sculpture during his production. Disgusting. 'Nuff said.

Day 17: A SCENE THAT MAKES YOU CRINGE (CHEESINESS)

"Gan-dalf?"

The way Frodo said "Gandalf" in a rather stretched and just plain weird way, was just so cheesy I can't help but cringe everytime I see the Return of the King. asodnisgaposuweh gives me the shivers...

Day 18: BEST FIGHT SEQUENCE

Battle at Pelennor Fields

I loved loved loved the bit when Theoden, with a smile on his face says "Make safe the city!" and then turns around when he hears the stump stump stump and the bellowing of the Oliphant/Mumakils as they approached in line. That was beyond epic! Especially when good ol' Legolas comes into the play and kills one by himself. Eomer killing two was pretty epic too and the darling Eowyn killing one as well was heroic. Brilliant battle!

Day 19: WORSE FIGHT SEQUENCE

This isn't it.

Once again, I must say there was no bad fight sequence in the movie at all! I enjoyed every single one of them. But what I thought wasn't up to my standards was the battle at Osgiliath with Faramir, during the Two Towers. It wasn't really a battle, it was more like 'escaping' so I guess it doesn't count.

Day 20: IF YOU WERE FROM MIDDLE EARTH WHERE WOULD YOU LIVE

The Shire

I wouldn't mind living in the Shire and doing what Mr. Frodo is doing up there. I love a good book and the Shire with all its green hills and pastures and its peace and happiness that surrounds it sounds like a very great place to stay. But I'll be a big traveler and I wouldn't mind living in the greener parts of Gondor. Its provinces would be good. Rivendell's not that bad either but somehow there's just something pulling me away from a place that's way too perfect.

 Day 6: FAVOURITE SONG

Pippin's song entitled "All Shall Fade" moved me the first time I saw it in the cinemas. It had a powerful tune that was both eerie yet beautiful. It was filled with emotions of sadness, grief, despair and of a man who longed for the love of his father. Billy (Pippin) sang it so beautifully that that I was not surprised when the crew cried when they first heard it.

Day 7: FILM YOU'VE SEEN THE MOST TIMES

I am very sure that I've seen all three films in par in the number of times and I mean that to be hundreds of times. I'm actually going to be watching the extended of the Fellowship tonight. YAY!

Day 8: BEST USE OF MAGIC OR SUPERNATURAL GIFTS

 YOU SHALL NOT PASS! 'nuff said.

Day 9: FAVOURITE MEMBER OF THE FELLOWSHIP

I absolutely refuse to choose a favourite. Though I know that a lot of the "Favourites" would be answered to be Aragorn, I believe that each member of the fellowship brought something to the movie and the journey. They are all special all, my favourites. 

But then again, I know that I must properly answer this question so I'm going to admit that I do love Pippin A LOT. But >sigh< Aragorn is in par with him as well.

Day 10: FAVOURITE MAN

FARAMIR

Not Aragorn. I really love Faramir, and re-watching the extended edition of The Two Towers and ROTK, I fell in love with his character even more. He was a man of nobility and of courage. Against the wishes of a father who did not show a single love for him, Faramir was such a strong character, wise, kind and generous, sweet to his dearest lady love (though not much seen in the movie) and most of all, he stood up for what he believed is right.
