I like arwen but this is the worst line in the whole movie ARWEN-"Don't give in frodo!Not now STUUUUUUUUPPPPPPPPIIIIDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!
Nessa
October 8th,2002, 02:44 AM
I voted Arwen. ;) She had a line I personally thought was even worse of a clinker, but that one's a close second.
(You'd all better be glad no one has voted for the adorable Sam line, the evil in me tends to come out when hobbits are bashed.... :evilcool: )

I voted on Arwen too... but I do not wish death on anyone lol ;)
personally I though Sams line was awesome and even though Frodo's was obvious, I liked all of his lines... I think....
Lady Ashley
October 8th,2002, 04:45 AM
I voted Arwen...though I do think Elrond's line was really cheesy too. Oh, and maybe Aragorn's "Let's hunt some Orc" line, which is slightly less cheesy, but still is. Good grief. Note that two cheesy lines are by a couple elves...and all by PJ. Coincidence? I think not. Ya know, I want to re-vote and go with Elrond's, but alas, I cannot.
Tolkien had no cheesy lines. Only good ones!!!
Miruvor
October 8th,2002, 08:23 AM
Why did you put Sam's line in there. That is a Tolkien line, only very slightly changed - see page 126. :(
Should only bash PJ's lines, yes yes.

TheRingBearer
October 8th,2002, 08:23 PM
IMO the winner of the cheeiest line goes to *drum roll*
ELROND
(Arwens line may seem to not make much sense but she obviously knows why how much the ringbearer has gone through, hence the 'not now' part)
Ephel Duath
October 8th,2002, 08:31 PM
ok ive decided ur all right. I'm gonna change the poll cos i just thought of this and the cheesiness blew up in my face
ARWEN-"Whats this? A ranger caught off his guard?"
Better people? Down with arwens cheesiness!!:gofatty:

Always so technical Bel. I believe wot Arwen does is being lame, not hormonal.Wow i hope no 1 in here likes arwen, sorry if they do! Dont hurt us! :blush::angel:

lol it makes me laugh tho i agree it is something arwen never would have said
still i hate this one line of hers waaaay worse arg that breathy senseless meaningless voice going oooooooh froodo!!! oh no! let my grace pass to him!!!!!!!!! spare him because i say so!!!!!
sorry :grin: im done ranting now

OMG yes! that's exactly it! lol lol roflmao
I didnt like the Frodo, Elrond or Arwen lines (the Sam one is soooo cute) but.....
i voted Elrond. It really is a bad line-only just saved by the dear pippin. I mean at least in the book he calls them the Company.
Nessa the Dancer
October 10th,2002, 03:19 PM
I had to do eeny meeny miny mo between Elrond and Arwen. Arwen won, but I still think that Elrond's line is terrible.
Bonos-Girl
October 10th,2002, 04:56 PM
i didn't mind it that much *gasps of horror* it didn't really annoy me at all. it was the combination of the song and the line that was kinda cheesy and that was the only reason the line was so bad...thats my theory anyway!
Ephel Duath
October 10th,2002, 10:26 PM
i agree that pippin saves elronds line. and also about aragorns face wen arwen gets him, looks like he's having muscle spasms in his neck lol

October 14th,2002, 08:25 PM
I think all of the choices are cheesy. But, Arwen's won out. I never really liked any of her lines. Something about the fact that Glorfindel wasn't there always made me hate her. :p

ah Glorfindel how i miss him.
Ephel Duath

yeah... but see... my take on this is, armies are for defending guys against bashers... come on now, who bashes Glofindel? Or even some of the others, for that matter....
But I digress... ignore me :grin:
Anyway... least favorite line.... yeah Arwen. Hate that line. :angry: why does it have to be so irritating?

October 18th,2002, 04:03 AM
oh yeah, huh... somehow i thought this thread was about orli... weird...
lol im only kidding catz... yeah I think that line of Arwen's is my least favorite of all the lines in the movie... next would have to be "And I suppose you think you're the one to do! Never trust an elf!" However, on the plus side, Legolas's look after that line is priceless... :loveyou:
lol... look at me... you drag me back on topic and I still find a way to talk about Orli!! I need a life... :rolleyes:

Belaqua
October 20th,2002, 01:25 AM
Of course she will. Its obvious. Why they can't script any decebt stuff for her is beyond me. Its seemed like every line she spoke in FOTR was cheesy or cliched. Or maybe that was just Liv Tyler. I'm just so predujiced against her now that its hard to tell what really annoys me about her. Oh well, back to burning Arwen effigies.
Tar-Ancalimė
October 20th,2002, 01:25 AM
I agree with you Eowyn!! She probably will... its inevitable... and she just wants to make us all furious, I guess... I mean, her only redeeming quality is her looks lol and that's not saying much!

Well many things don't worth the effort, but we still do them
Voice of reason... you? Stranger things have happened... maybe
I don't mind Liv as Liv, but she did ruin Arwen.. but I don't blame her.. it's the director who makes the movie, she just did her best (which was nothing in this role)
Belaqua
November 1st,2002, 12:19 AM
Poor Liv. Poor Arwen. Poor us. Poor Tolkein. I saw a trailer for TTT the other day, and Arwen has these scenes with Elrond. BUT SHE ISN'T EVEN IN TTT THE BOOK! ARRRGGGGHHHH! Poor me.
Adunauriel
November 1st,2002, 12:23 AM
yea, but we knew when they hired an actress like Liv, they were going to put her in the movie as much as possible. Even if she isn't the greatest of Actresses.
Belaqua
November 1st,2002, 12:27 AM
Alas, she is pretty, therefore she gets undeserved screen time. Shes winning in the poll too. I still think that Elrond deserves it, but thats just me.

Yep that's what I ment, she's pretty. And I agree, Elrond is pretty bad too.:thumbs:

Yeah as I said before Tolkien didn't even mention Arwen throughout Books III and IV
I like Liv, but I hate her Arwen... no need to have more of her, she spoiled enough already hehehe
Elrond was bad... but he didn't take Gimli's place or something

Lady Ashley
November 1st,2002, 10:05 PM
Blah...cheesy Arwen line...I hate her breathy voice. *ick* Liv in real life has a softer voice that sounds more like an elf voice than her Arwen-voice.
A friend put it this way..."Why is she so wimpy in real life?" (i.e. her 'bio' on the dvd. She doesn't even TALK about her ROLE, all she cares about is the CLOTHES. Sheesh, leave the clothes for another section. They're great and all (I love them!), but sheesh). But then again, riding around saving hobbits is NOT Arwen's personality. As in, BOOK personality. She sits at home and sews flags. No wonder she had nothing except clothes to talk about on the dvd! lol
Her breathy voice, and that stupid line, get on my nerves. *grrrr*
*calms down* Ok, enough Arwen-bashing for this thread.
My point: I hate her line. Elrond's too. Gee, the movie was great, why ruin it by cheesy lines?

November 6th,2002, 10:19 PM
I agree with you, Samwise, there were worse lines in the film that Tolkien didn't write and would never have written. The shocker for me was spoken by Aragorn toward the end of the film. I don't remember the exact quote but something close to: "Let's go get some Ork". :elfeek:
Firiel

"Let's go hunt some Orc," I love that line. Mostly cause there's this really cool shot of Leggy gettin angry right after.;)
Tar-Ancalimė
November 7th,2002, 02:59 AM
"Let us hunt some Orc"
and why did that shock you? i think it was in keeping with Tolkien's lines. He delievered it well, and if you didn't think that line was true to the book, it probably follows that you didn't think most of the movie was true to the book :huh: I'll just keep this at "I disagree." ;)

In THE DEPARTURE OF BOROMIR, Gimli says, "Well, after them...Dwarves too can go swiftly, and they do not tire sooner than orcs. But it will be a long chase; they have a long start. "
"Yes," said Aragorn, "we need all the endurance of Dwarves. But come! With hope or without hope we will follow the trail of our enemies. And woe to them, if we prove the swifter! We will make such a chase as shall be accounted a marvel among the three kingdoms: Elves, Dwarves, and Men. Forth the three Hunters!"
These are Tolkien's words but I guess that translates to "Let's go hunt some Ork.." That is why it was so funny to me. I don't recall Aragorn saying that but if you could quote the passage from the book, I will most humbly beg your forgiveness and agree that it is in keeping with Tolkien's lines.
I loved the film, Tar. Some of it was true to the book. Some of it wasn't. For those of us who have read it countless times, we enjoy comparing the two.:read:

i'm sorry i just couldnt take that line seriously. It reminded me of another movie (though i cant remember what it was now). It made me think more of ...o i dnt know..Bruce Willis or someone than Aragorn. That is just me though, i know loadsa ppl loved the line, so i'm not gnna argue :) I think the extended version is gonna be the best coz more of the things i missed will be in there and i wont mind the other things as much then.

Hi Tar: I'd love to know what discrepancies bugged you. For me the biggest one was the presence of Arwen where she should not have been. So of course in the poll I voted for Arwen having the cheeziest line because she never said it. I don't think she speaks at all in Rivendell, does she? :shhh:

Undomiel, That's exactly how I felt when I first saw the film. Bruce Willis! lol That's a good one. But when I saw it again I had to laugh, don't know why, I think the first time I took the film too seriously and was so disappointed, but on seeing it the second time I relaxed more and enjoyed it for what it was and didn't moan mecry so much.

I kinda liked both of Arwen's lines. (becomes really tiny and timid) But the one line that HAS to go? I can't think of one! I love them all! (now THAT was cheesy)

Hi guys! I just found this thread (I don't come into this forum very often). It looks like most everyone hates the Arwen line.........hmmm.........I don't like it much myself, but I had to vote for the Elrond one, simply because it makes me laugh out loud every time I watch the movie! lol Especially with the music building right then! I used to think that maybe it would sound better without music. But then he says it on the behind the scenes without music and it's even funnier!
Oh, and shame on anyone who voted for the Sam quote! :nono: I thought that was the cutest line! Especially when he says it at the end. It made me cry! mecry

November 12th,2002, 06:35 PM
Oh, by the way. I just thought I would mention that the Frodo quote goes "Shire....Baggins? But that would lead them here!"
You said Baggins.....Shire. Anyway......... : D

November 12th,2002, 10:54 PM
yeah. i think it's difiicult for any actor to carry off saying a line that has already been said straight before. It just doesnt ever work. (i noticed this the other day in HP)

Oops. I accidently voted for Sam's line when it's one of my favorites. It's so sweet.
I guess my least favorite line would have to be either Arwen's or Elrond's because I also love Frodo's line.

January 17th,2003, 07:54 PM
Sam's line isn't cheesy--it's important to the story! It shows just how dedicated he is to Frodo and his intent to keep the promise he made (to the elves in the book, to Gandalf in the movie).
What about the dwarf tossing lines? Hasn't anyone thought those were the least bit cheesy????

My vote for Elrond also. I alomost assumed he would be able to count to 9, living for 2 ages od Middle-earth now!
But I am quite perplex why you put in Sam's line?????? I LOVE THAT LINE!! It's my very favorite, it makes me cry everytime because he is so honest and simple when he says that!

Agreed - Sam has to explain to the audience that he's sticking by Frodo, since the scene where he actually promised was cut out. It's an important line. :thumbs:
Yeah, the dwarf tossing reference made me groan. pfbbt

Elrond's line was so cheesy it sounded cool. lol
And I agree, Sam's line wasn't cheesy at all. It really moved me and showed me how much dedicated and loyal he was to Frodo and we get a sense of strong friendship that will build as the story progresses.
I did however cringe at Arwen's lines. :mmmm:

Boromir knew. The line before it was "A-Aragorn... this is Isidur's heir." Hoho, Boromir knew.
It was basically for the non-book people who didn't know. Also to add some drama, and of course lines for the Lego-lovers.

I think Boromir knew that a man named Aragorn was Isildur's heir, he just didn't know that the man sitting in front of him was Aragorn.
Yeah, it was a total intro for the audience. And we'll take just about all the Legolas lines we can get our sweaty little palms on, thank you. ;)

Maybe Elrond was a bad host and didn't introduce everyone.
Maybe he could have made sure everyone had nametags.
"Hello, My Name Is: Gimli
And I Am A: Dwarf"
lol
All he said by way of introduction was that they were all there representing their races and to discuss the fate of this Ring.

Nawwwwwwww... I only meant that he wasn't told that this person was Aragorn....he knew of Aragorn but didn't know that
Viggo's character was Aragorn.

I really wanted to vote for both Elrond's and Arwen's line. They are both soooo cheesy! pfbbt Arwen's "Frodo! No!" scene was so weird. She was in such a hurry to save him until she passed the river! lol Oh, and by the way welcome, Beleriel! :wave:

Yar, Frodo's and Sam's lines aren't that corny.

No, they're not. I always think Elrond's line seems even more corny when you hear him say it on one of the features on the DVD (the one which allows you to see how scenes were pieced together) roflmao
Winyaél Greenleaf
March 22nd,2003, 04:40 AM
the council of elrond editorial right? I don't know if it's just me but I thought that when he was doing certain takes, he seemed to say that line slightly faster than the norm.
YayBoromir!
March 22nd,2003, 11:10 AM
Yeah, I thought that too. A lot of the lines sounded different - probably because of the ADR or the music playing over the top. It sounded strange to hear him say it quickly!

well, I didn't like it at all... pfbbt

Love the vote - most amusing debate thus far also :-)
I have to say I voted for Frodo's line. I agree with what people have said about Arwen's line - it's very cheesy. But Frodo's apparent blinding flash of realisation is so bone-headed.
'But...that will lead them *here*!'
Gee, ya think so!? By Eru's codpeice Mr Baggins, I'm glad you mentioned it because I sure as hell couldn't see it that one marching over the horizon under a vast pall of dust, beating drums and setting a crown of fire upon the horizon.

I guess I'm a sap, because those "cheesy lines " are some of my favorites!
Arwen's seem faithless - like she has no clue of Frodo's strength
P.K. Brandybuck
April 16th,2003, 01:19 AM
See I understand Arwen's line this way: She just finished busting her hump trying to save Frodo and she knew that his safety was important to Aragorn and she probably felt frustration and sadness as he was a hobbit and elves look upon hobbits like innocent and small creatures that need protection.
She was probably also upset that she was going to fail Bilbo also.
well...that's just my take on it, anyway.
I actually like Sam's line - I voted for Elrond's line.
Luvara
April 16th,2003, 09:56 PM
hmm... maybe your right! I like the way you think! ;)
And I lilke Sam's line too! :thumbs:
