How about taking a drink whenever someone speaks Elvish.
Or whenever Legolas makes a cryptic Miss Cleo type comment.

You mean his lines like "A red sun rises. Blood has been spilt this night"? Was I the only one it annoyed the hell out of?
How was your trip, Roisin?

It didn't annoy me so much as amuse me...Hello, it's Middle Earth, chances are someone somewhere is spilling some blood.
Ireland was lovely. I learned to drive on the left which was an accomplishment for me.  I didn't think I would be able to do it.

Hey you leave Fortune Cookie Elf alone b/c I think it's kinda cute when he makes those cryptic comments. And besides that, it makes everyone else go, "What the....????" You just know Gimli is grumbling to himself, "My father always told me that those damned Elves were a bit touched in in the head."
Well how about a drink for everytime someone mentions lembas? I just loved the lembas scene where Legolas is doing his spokesmodeling bit for Lothlorien lembas -- "Lembas, enough to satisfy an Elf, but only serves as a light snack between first and second breakfast."

OT, but whenever I eat a scone I think of lembas. I just wish you could get clotted cream in Ireland. 
Lembas with clotted cream...arrrrrrgh

No clotted cream in Ireland? Well, you can't get it in Oz either.  That's one thing I really miss from England. Warm scones, jam and clotted cream with a caramelised top.
In New-Zealand, they have this gorgeous extra rich n' creamy breakfast milk. Hmm. It's got cream on top you have to shake through. Not that *that* much fat is good for anyone but... <sigh>
do.

Lol!
I remember thinking the exact same thing when I first saw the movie. Rohan is under threat, Gondor is struggling with Mordor for decades, the goblins in the Misty Mountains are multiplying (and later Mirkwood AND Lothlorien are attacked...)
somewhere, blood is spilling.
everyday.
so, we should have a red dawn every day. and if it is so, why would anyone notice the difference?
(guess i'm making a fallacy or other here, but alas...)
or is the dawn red only near the place of the spilt blood?
(how?)
Duh.
however, the close up was absolutely gorgeous. |

In defence of dear Legolas, whenever he starts tapping Aragorn on the shoulder and saying "We neeed to GO now!" he's always been right.
So one drink if Legolas gives a warning to Aragorn, who as always, ignores it.
Can just see Legolas thinking What part of "I don't have enough arrows to kill them all" does he not understand?[/i]

ROFL! Now, see, I love that bit. Call me bloodthirsty (ha!) but I am positive the reason they cut that is because they didn't want the big bad Uruk-hai looking all sexy. But I'm aware that not everyone shares my tastes. 
How about this - if you're still actually conscious by that point in the movie, you can either chug what's left in your glass/bottle/shoe, or you can hurl, depending on your sensibilities.

If I may say, I totally share your taste. I find that scene somehow very, very attractive. Heck, I find ALL of Lurtz very, very attractive. |

Same here. Lurtz, Ugluk, Mauhur....grrrrrr! Orcs...eh. Don't much care for 'em, but Uruk-hai are dead sexy and Lurtz can lick his knife all day long and I can't get enough. I am in a bit of a moral dilemma. I love Boromir AND Lurtz equally. Talk about torn loyalties. |

Speaking of Boromir, I think his tragic death scene where Aragorn is hovering all hot and sweaty over him is worth a drink. In fact if you are really trying to get sloshed you should take a drink for every time the continuity people screwed things up and Aragorn switches from having his right vs. his left arm next to dear dying Boromir's head.
