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?

As a teen I adored Legolas but now he does nothing for me. Aragorn is hot but Eomer's smolder tops the list. He's Bones in the new Star Trek movies, totally different look when he is clean shaven.

Flapjackfairy that's a good point. I don't even like it when DH is working overseas at his nice safe desk. Don't think I'd handle it well if he was always off battling evil in Mordor. Best leave that to the impossible fantasy men and save our collective sanity.

(Although DH could challenge any of them in the grubbiness stakes...)

Re. Elven genetics. Wasn't Elrond called Half Elven in the books? He was immortal, or as good as. So Elvapoodles /Elvagorns/ Arwenarags Numenelves/ Viggoflickyhairs or whatever they call their dcs will probably go on and on and on too. Only a matter of time before Peter Jackson rounds them up and makes them into a three part megabuster. The pen is mightier than the sword. But the tongue licks them both. That sort of thing. With orcs.

I have never read the books but now feel there is a whole subtext i have completely missed out on so might have to nick sons copy !

Eomer and Boromir all the way! Wouldn't kick either of them out of bed! Unless it's to make me a cup of tea and a bit of elvish bread

mmm, elves....

As I said before if you want to see Viggo looking rough and ready m, watch Eastern Promises. Great film with Naomi Watts.

LOTR is loooong. I was initially quite impressed that Peter Jackson managed to get rid of all the flabby bits (Tom Bombadil; all the riding, walking, riding, riding yadda yadda yadda) but the he ruined things by turning the slim Hobbit into a sprawling CGI, testosterone soaked yawnfest trilogy. I am about as warm towards them as I am to George Lucas' 3 newer Star Wars films. So, so boring.

Definitely Eomer for me too . Shame he didn't have more screen time..... Probably Boromir after that, though that could be purely due to Sean Bean playing him

Hahahahaa re the camp off, that is the funniest thing I've read all day!

I'd do Aragorn, Legolas, Faramir, Eomer & the Easterlings if they kept their helmets on

Not keen on Viggo's arse chin. Much better with a beard.
Aidan Turner in The Hobbit wins Fantasy Fuck pick hands down.

Phwoar Aragorn.... the bit where he returns and pushes those doors open...

Or "what say you!" In ROTK... or "my friends you bow to no one."

Sigh....

Eomer as well.

Oh and Viggo in a History of Violence...

Actually the bit where he's running to light the beacon is quite hot.

Try 'A Walk on the Moon' for his early work sexing up Diane Lane.

In Tolkien, 'halfelven' is a thing, and you get to choose which side to join.

So Elrond chose the elvish side - he had a brother called Elros who chose the side of mortals. This is who Aragorn is descended from - so Elrond is a very distant uncle and Arwen a sort of first cousin lots of times removed.

Too many removes really to count as a relative, but there you are...

(Apparently hobbits care about this sort of thing even if no one else does - I don't have that excuse but misspent my youth on this sort of nonsense.)

Elrond's children could also choose - so ultimately when Arwen chooses Aragorn she becomes mortal and does eventually die (after a very long life). Mortal half elves can also choose when they want to die.

I was all set up to judge the success or failure of TFOTR purely on the basis of whether I came out of it with a huge crush on Aragorn. He really is so so crushable in the books, and Viggo does not disappoint in the movie.

Robert Stephens in the radio adaptation has the most phenomenal sexy voice as well.

This thread has reminded me of the Very Secret Diaries of LOTR. Are there any other pervy hobbit fanciers out there?

Definitely fancied thorin too, and aidan turner's character (kili?).
Maybe I just like grubby brooding men with long hair and beards...

That takes me back to my fandom days, little!

STILL not King.

Robert Stephens in the radio adaptation has the most phenomenal sexy voice as well.

He did... and that's the one thing wrong with Viggio, his voice is a bit nasal and he can't always keep his accent straight. (Yeah, and the kissing and not choosing kickass Eowyn ... though I suppose if she got to rule Rohan rather than being a mere consort maybe for the best...)

We've been watching LOTR this week too, and the other thing I can't help thinking is that the bloody ring would have got to Mount Doom with a lot less fuss if it had been given to solid unimaginative Sam who'd have just got on with it, rather than Frodo with his habit of wandering off into danger and falling into swamps etc.

OMG Eomer is Scotty. HOW DID I NOT SEE THAT. On the other hand, have you seen Faramir as the baddie in Iron Fist...?
Deafening, I bow to you. I thought I was the biggest female LOTR freak-out there...but apparently not!
Agree on comments about Viggos tongue action...revolting. And Eastern Promise...naked Viggo in sauna fight, anyone??
Love this thread, made me laugh, which I need right now! Thanks girls (?)

Also Eomer is Judge Dredd. Great film if you don't mind people being skinned alive and not getting to see Mr Urban's lovely face.

OMG Eomer is Scotty. HOW DID I NOT SEE THAT

Not Scotty, Bones! Newscotty is Simon pegg - can't see him leading the Rohirim.
