Ohhh, how quickly they turn when they come across an elf with a pair.

I've been set up! That was Space that said that not me. I am still a loyal Legolas fan!

Well the movie ruined Legolas for me. In the beginning (1year and 7 monrths ago) I liked him but he's not that interesting anymore 
I have never read the Hobbit or the Silmarillion but I plan to, but for now I don't have opinion on First Age elves. I am a PEF myself and I can blame Lotr 
My favourite is Elrond, but not because of Hugo, he is great but that's not what made me like Elrond. I love all elven-lords  though Glorfindel in the movie is not Glorfindel to me. And did you see the one they cast as Gildor? I don't think he is the same actor, but he is quite terrifying as an elf, now as a man it's another story 
Haldir is interesting for now, but I don't know in the future
PS: I'm driving you crazy with all the Emoticons lol. Sorry |

I'm curious Space--do you like Elrond or do you like Hugo (of, course I know you like Hugo, but I mean--did you like Elrond so much before Hugo played him). Just a (possibly rude, sorry) curiosity. I like Hugo myself. I think he has a very interesting face. |
I know you asked this to SpaceWeavil, but it's something pertinent to me as well, particularly since, like Space, I am a dyed-in-the-wool Degenerate Perverted Elrond Fancier of the First Order.
I'm going to confess: I love movie Elrond, but book Elrond makes me roll my eyes. As far as Tolkien goes, I hate LotR, but the Silmarillion and the History of Middle-earth really strike my fancy. This is a key element of my attraction to film Elrond as opposed to novel Elrond. From movie Elrond, I get the impression that he is a real person. He seems to be more complex than his narrative role indicates. He comes across as someone who has issues beyond the fate of the Ring. I empathize with him because I can see how the events personally affect him. I can understand his anger, his sadness, his disappointment. After reading more about him, I appreciate film Elrond even more. If there is anything about movie Elrond's demeanor that I find abnormal, it's that he is not crippled by a host of psychological problems. However, since Tolkien provides little of Elrond's internal workings, you pretty much have to project your own knowledge and experiences upon the character.
After learning more about Hugo Weaving, the more I convinced I became that no one else could play the part. Through his portrayal of both Smith and Elrond, I realized that this man is able to imbue or channel powerful subconscious forces and emotions into these characters. It leads me to believe that the characters have natures and drives deeper than their lines and actions indicate. In so many words, Hugo Weaving makes Elrond interesting. And for me, interest leads to attraction because I cannot separate my sexuality from my imagination.

Not really, because Orlando Bloom does as little for me out of costume as he does in it. I'm beginning to wonder if I might be missing a gene or something, but I don't find him attractive in the slightest. Admittedly he seems to have lost some of his 'prettiness' in Kingdom of Heaven, but still he's a little too flawless for my tastes. |
If you're missing a gene, I am too. I personally find Orlando Bloom sort of . . . bland. I find myself not watching him so much as what he's doing. Maybe the "perfectly pretty" features have something to do with it. Speaking of "perfect," I think there may be a reason why some are put off by it. Michaelangelo's David, probably the finest artistic rendition of the human form, is not in perfect proportion (go here for more info). Yet, no one can deny that he is beautiful specimen of a man.
Now Hugo Weaving, that's a guy I can watch all day. There's something about his face and body language that I find completely fascinating. He's just interesting to look at. But it's not just Hugo Weaving. Just about any guy I'm sexually attracted to has a quality that sparks my imagination. This makes me want to look at him constantly to find that thing that I find irresistable. I call it Wolf because it reminds me of the wolves of fairy tales. Let's put it this way: I understand why Red Riding Hood didn't do as her mother said. I cannot describe it any more rationally than that. Even the stereotypical Bad Boy falls short of the Wolf. It's very hard to describe except in metaphor. |

It's just a question of taste (ok, now you can start laughing at me and I'm putting on the Captain Obvious hat). I admit Orlando is handsome but I don't like him. I also think that Craig looks better out of costume.

Or Sam, with the frying-pan
IMO two actors would have been the perfect movie Glorfindel: Gary Cooper ("A Farewell to the Arms" or "Morocco", he just looked gorgeous) and young Clint Eastwood (remember "Dirty Harry"?)

Obviously PJ's major idea was that they all were arrogant.

Nancy, I'll be by to pick you up at 4am, apparently you and I are going to live in a convent and we have to get up really early so we can go sing sound of music as the sun comes up every day for the rest of our liiiiiiives. Its okay Nancy, don't cry, i hear they have lots of wine and Frangelico  |
I am not crying ... I'm riding shotgun!! it's just the wind in this convertible making my eyes tear up.
You just keep your eyes on the road; I've got coffee, coke, snickers bars, doughnuts and a good map. Yeah, and nix the convent idea ... we're off to N'awlins, Baby! or to whatever party town it is where sensible folk gather who dislike hairless pretty-boys. That's where you can find us from now on.
Weavil, you coming?
Truly, Gang, I don't mean to sneer or to be rude; I have said it before and I'll (Obviously) say it again: I just don't get this cult of the non-character ... How you can 'adore' someone who is barely a presence on the page with no history (or future in some cases) is more than I can fathom. Then, top it off with actors/characters whose very appearance is everything I tend not to find attractive ... well, I think you get the idea.
Now, please don't feel moved to defend your choices as I haven't really impugned them - just said they wouldn't be mine - and I think we've covered this ground elsewhere on the forum.
Just, go back to what you were doing.
No, Ghetto! - the other right!!!!

LMAO Vana, a cry in the wilderness. 
This is all so Thelma and Louise, I feel durrrrdy.
Actually, after I finish laughing my ass off and dry my eyes, I'd like to say a couple things.
I've been on this forum for a while now and I finally get Nancy. I'm so relieved! She really is lovely, just let her grow on you a bit. Many times I disagree with her, often her take on things escapes me and at one point, I honestly believed her to be snarky. But after getting to know her a bit I find this is not so, she's just...Nancy in all her refreshingly straightforward and unapologetic splendor. When Nancy gives you crit, there's no question, that's exactly what she thinks. Invaluable commodity this is. Beta aside, I have friends on this site who I talk to every day and are barely getting to that comfort level with me where they feel they can offer up anything other than praise without hurting my feelings.
Above all things, I admire your balls Nancy. Don't ask her a question if you're not prepared for her honesty, that includes forum posts like these so all of us who also adore the smooth skinned, gentle souled, ephemeral elves of the third age just suck it up. She's got a a right to say exactly what she did, every bit as much as we have a right to request that she take Aragorn to the showers immediately!  , he's making my eyes water. (I'll handle bathing Eomer, thank you)
Now before anyone decides to hump my font; no I don't owe NB money, no she doesn't have pictures of me playing poker with Satan and no, aside from her tenacity in remaining one of the few regulars on the forum to not only occasionally disagree with the more...ahem...vocal element on the boards but always give as good as she gets, she has nothing I covet. Just making an observation about life is all because I'm on a mission to break the world's record for outrrunning the muse and becoming queen of avoidance behavior. That and the fact that I labor under the impression that anyone gives a flying tit what I think.

You know, I just noticed poor little Hope18's original post, hands up those who agree that we've probably driven this poor thing to seek medication. Sorry Hope, please don't let the fact that we highjacked your thread and drove it off a cliff deter you from starting any more threads. Really, we here in the, savage felines of the wild, section of the zoo, consider this fun. along with chasing string and toying mercilessly with our prey before we kill and eat it.

I don't believe either one of you sweet little things would ever do anything so nasty.
