TownAgorn looks too young. And his hair isn't messy enough. And he doesn't look particularly like a great leader of men- reminds me more of someone in The Mummy. I am still staunch supporter of MortAgorn.

Lol-we have created our own strange names for things. Townsend would have been pants, I cannot say this enough, but there's just something about Veeeego (I think it's the smell) that means you can't imagine any other actor playing the role. Townsend would only have been about 27 at the time, now Aragorn looks younger than he is, but not that young.

Was his smell that pungent?!
I think it's cos Viiiiggo is a 'character acktoor' so really inhabits the role. I;ve never seen Townsend in anything actually, so I don't really know what he's like as an actor- any good?

I think he is, I first saw him as Lestat and went completely mad. He managed to capture the character really well, though I'll not go into the differences between his Lestat and Tom Cruise's.
I know Veeego really immersed himself in the role, I can't imagine doing that, I quite like to switch off once I've got off stage.

Sorry but I don't think he was a good Lestat, I prefered Tom Cruise as Lestat...probably as I saw him in the role first, also because..no offence but QotD is PANTIES!
I had not choice but to post more, people begged me...ne really they did.
I think that being a method actor Viggo did a good job as he really stepped into the charachter and tried really hard. From what I hear and what I can gather Townsend is a bit lazy and standoffish, in that interview he said really horrible things about LotR and how he didn't like the atmosphere, excuse me but which other film have you heard of where they are so attached to each other that they have a tattoo to represent forever how much they enjoyed this film. From what I have seen of the onset films they look reli happy, I think it was just townsend not getting into chrachter and from what I've heard (speculation) he was a bit slack and was late etc and didnt really seem to be trying. I think PJ got annoyed in the end and just said you are not trying and that is eveident, youre not what oim looking for but Townsend took it as him haveing something against him.
Have just had horrible though...try imagine the coronation scene with TownAgorn sining instead of Vig..in fact imagine any scene with Aragron in with Townsend instead...scary.

Now that's just scary. That's worse than the picture. Valar save us! OK, I'll say it. Townsend's a w*nker. Lol, Tom Cruise is definitely a funnier Lestat but I do like Townsend. I know QotD's pants, but it's so pants it's funny. How can you not laugh at: "Who is she?" (Big pause) "She's your mother." That doesn't sound funny in itself. Maybe it helps to see Marius. Shh, don't tell Clo hehe.

d**n...erm...well we are sort of debating, it's just more man vs. vampire than man vs. elf.

does man vs vampire include such ones as Spike (hehe) and Spiranduil and Angel?
I completely agree about Viiigggo putting in a lot of dedication. I read a report that said Townsend was bitter about getting turfed off (go PJ). Close shave when you come to think of it! I mean, Viiiiiggo arrived at the airport barefoot with a copy of one of Tolkien's influences from when he was a child.

does anyone know where all the cast had the tattoos? All I can remember is that Orlando Bloom had it on his wrist, but what about the others? (or are they places that are just too rude to mention?)

Yeah I heard he was bitter, I read and interview and he certainly sounded it. As for Spiranduil, NEVER mention IT again, but good job on the pic Lei it was fantastic! even if PURE EVIL!
OH, I remember right back when FotR came out that all of the hobbits and Bllom were on SM:TV and they showed the cameras their tattoos, they are not that rude, I seem to remember that Elij had his on his tummy (aww) but apart from that I forget, hold on I'll just go look....
Apparently it is a secret but I did find a site with them all listed...perhaps it was a lie, Elijah dd have one on his tummy tho, that's all I remeber, I seem to remeber it was mostly on the wrist, hip/tummy or shoulder.

Ah-ha have found a site all bout celeb tattoos andam looking up all the fellowship in order -
Sean Astin - Right ankle. Sean Bean - On his Right shoulder along with one on his upper left arm which reads 100% BLADE(! is it still sharpE!?), and a Sheffield United tattoo. Orlando Bloom - Right wrist as well a that sun on around his belly button. Billy Boyd - On ankle, doesn't specify which, I'm guessing right like Sean AAAstin and seeing as all the rest if the cast had it on the right hand side. Ian Mckellen - Right Shoulder. Dominic Monaghan - Right Shoulder. Viggo Mortensen - d**n doesn't specify, but I seem to remeber it was his shoulder, he also has an American tribal image on left arm. Elijah Wood - YAY it was indeed on his LOWER stomach...awwwww!
Only Bllom and Wood got it in different places from al the others, sorry as I dont know the name of Gimli's scale double I can't look that up!

oh wow! that's sooo cool. It'd be amazing, i think, to somehting like that- then again, filming a film for 4 odd yrs must have had some impact!
I wonder if they all had it done at the same time sort of in a group, egging each other on and grimacing and holding each other's hands in support...hehe
