Fuck me, Aragorn is so, so fit in fellowship of the ring!

[RedStripeIassie]

Watching LOTR on telly and I'm a bit overwhelmed. Same when I was a teenager. This is my insuring film crush. He's actually perfect.

Anyone else?

No he is the nephew of king thierdon (prob spelt wrong) who leads the rohirim horsemen in last 2 films.
He never cracks a smile and looks menacingly sexy even at Aragorns coronation !

Ahh, my mistake!

Agree. Phwoar.

And no idea what a bit Royston Vasey looks like ?
Trying to work out who you mean !

Can't believe I just googled this

That's Eomer by the way
Nephew of Theoden
God I'm a nerd

Now thats what i am talking about!
Aragorn first choice but Eomer close second though the lack of laughs might get a bit wearing over time!

Love the way Aragon facilitates bromance between Legolas and Glimli the dwarf. He just nods and smiles, slightly bemused.

Aragorn, Eomer, Legolas, Faramir - wouldn't turn any of them down. Or Elrond. Even have a soft spot for Haldir!

I think I must be a bored housewife

The badgers me too I adore Faramir he is the unsung hero, his speech to Eowyn in the books is beautiful. David Wenham isn't bad to look at too

PS my phone corrected those names to "emergency" and "booming"

Excellent

Agree about Strider's beauty as scruffy loner (Viggo Mortensen should never do 'groomed') but I'd take Boromir perfectly happily. I like a bit of torment and doomed hobbit-saving.

I think Celeborn and Haldir were having a camp-off as to who got most Elf eyeliner, though I admit to a lump in my throat when Haldir leads up all those gorgeous, doomed Elves to honour the old alliance in TTT.

My DH has been known to do a breakfast time impersonation of Celeborn looking like he's smelt an Elf fart and saying 'Tell me where is Gandalf, for I much desire to speak with him.'

Is he the head elf that looks a bit Royston Vasey?

This is funny ^ I'm assuming you mean Hugo Weaving (him off the Matrix).

David Wenham is wearing well. He is in Iron Fist in a father figure role. I think I must be getting old, because he's quite easy on the eye.

I liked Aragorn in the first LOTR film. It was downhill after that.

Eomer plays the Russian baddie in a Bourne film and is just fantastico!

I think Aragorn has serious Jesus of Nazareth ishoos. He's rather messianic isn't he?

And please don't talk to me about Arwen in the backlit Timotei shampoo ad. scenes she has, or the tonsil tennis with the groomed one.

At least tom bombadil didn't make the cut: not sure I could handle jolly japes and songs from yellow trousered giants. too much like Malvolio though why Radagast is a shit covered idiot I'll never know.

watchmesoar I've just finished rewatching the films tonight and that's the one image I can't get out of my head. Arargorn going in for a kiss like that disturbs me!

This thread sums up the appeal of LOTR for me. (Apart from it having a jolly good story).

Take a grubby man in need of a haircut, put him on a horse and give him a sword to wave about and I'm sold, every time.

I literally only fancy Viggo when he's playing Aragorn!

Ditto.

I literally only fancy Viggo when he's playing Aragorn!

Me too, I don't know why he doesn't grow his hair long and wear better clothes. In the film he's phwoar. Any other times he's a bit meh. The first movie I watched after LOTR with him in it I was quite disappointed.

I have found my people!

What about The Hobbit cast. Got to love Kili, Thorin and Bard. I think it is that grubby, sword swinging thing that Badgers said.

I literally only fancy Viggo when he's playing Aragorn!

Same here. I was really sad when I saw him all modern and suited I. Something

spawn yes that's the bloke!

I'd like to be a hobbit but don't fancy any of them.

Are inter species relationships allowed in Middle Earth?

I agree always liked rough looking men!
For me the attraction is the mix of strong and tenderness. Aragorn could definitely keep you safe and would die to protect you but he is also loyal and gentle and not afraid to show man love for Legolas and Gimli.
I think that is an irresistable mix and no i am not a delicate little flower who relies on a man but actually a strong independant persn but i guess it is all about the fantasy male.
In real life Aragorn would be working away fighting goodness knows who and slaughtering left,right and centre which would then no doubt get on my nerves so best left to fantasy territory!

Aragorn and Arwyn are inter species so yes

Actually, the Aragorn Arwen interspecies relationship is a horrific bummer because after all that Timotei ad stuff and angst and Elrond saying 'Go to your room!' because eternal-life Elf Arwen can't marry a mortal who will die and leave her heartbroken forever -- she does, and he eventually dies, and she's heartbroken forever.

Though (and I realise that it's probably hidden in a footnote in The Silmarillion or something), I don't know whether their children are immortal or not? Because surely that's far grimmer -- to outlive not only your husband but all your children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren.

Don't do it, Arwen. Listen to Daddy and find yourself a nice, safe Elf in the Grey Havens. That way Eowyn, who, let's face it, is waay cooler, kills the King of the Nazgul, and is not acting in a Timotei ad, can have Aragorn instead of well-meaning but slightly drippy Faramir, with whom she only bonds because they're both stuck in hospital at the same time.

Eowyn was a corrupt CIA station chief/double agent in the Berlin season of Homeland, and she was great.
