Eowyn

[Aletheia]

hehe...they could make a whole movie of E&F and I would so watch it! :blush:

~Leia:rose:~

[Charmander]

I am certain Aletheia we wouldn't be the only ones watching either ;) We could tie a lot of people down and force them to watch!

:bigups: Eowyn! I'm so happy that she's finally getting some bigger roles - she's far too talented to not be seen by the world :love:

[Eowyn of Rohan]

I'm really happy for her, just hope she doesn't get too stressed!
Does she have any plan in terms of enlarging the family??

[Charmander]

I think she says she does want to have children, but her husband Peter works in London and War of the Worlds is being filmed here in the States, so I'm not sure how it will work out...

[Eowyn of Rohan]

mmmh distance is a bad thing.. expecially in weddings. but hey, she would be a great mom!

[Charmander]

She plays a great mom in the movies, but that isn't exactly reality lol

[Eowyn of Rohan]

yes it's quite different! anyway if someone has such a sweet face can't be a bad mom!

[Aletheia]

*still drolling over the concept of an entire F&E movie*
Hey, a girl can dream!

What movie is she a mom in? *poor stupid, uninformed Leia is at it again*

~Leia:rose:~

[Eowyn of Rohan]

I absolutely can't believe this!! read what I found on one ring.net:

Miranda Otto Pregnant:
1/13/05, 8:05 pm EST - Xoanon
From ContactMusic: Australian actress Miranda Otto is expecting her first child with actor husband Peter O'Brien. The couple, who married on New Year's Day 2003, are "thrilled", according to a spokesperson. Otto, 37, who starred in as elf Eowyn in LOTR, recently finished filming Steven Spielberg's 'War of the Worlds', in which she plays Tom Cruise's pregnant wife.

We are witches (in the positive sense of the word!) I'm soooo happy for them! :hooray: :hooray:

[Charmander]

I am too! I just saw this on theonering.net! We were just talking about this :o! Freaky! But there goes our idea for a real romance between Miranda and David - but I am really happy that they are both happy :hooray: I wonder if its aboy or a girl.

[Aletheia]

Wow! *slightly scared of the powers of crazed E&F fans* She is gonna be such a cute mom! Congrats to Miranda!

~Leia:rose:~

[Eowyn of Rohan]

We're really actress connected fans!! yay for us!!
It would be nice if she has a little girl..a little white lady for the next generation!! :)

[Charmander]

That would be so sweet - a little white lady of rohan :love: so cute! Can you imagine your mom being the white lady of Rohan - we are really actress oriented fans :hooray: for us!

[Aletheia]

Oh! her little girl would be sooooooooo pretty!!!!!
then again though, if its a boy we will kinda get to see how Elboron woulda looked ;)

[Eowyn of Rohan]

That would be so sweet - a little white lady of rohan :love: so cute! Can you imagine your mom being the white lady of Rohan - we are really actress oriented fans :hooray: for us!
aww my mom the white lady...now I'll have this image with me for the rest of the day :grin: how cool would that be?!

[Aletheia]

awww...all this talk is so cute! :love:I wonder if Miranda has any clue ppl do this? lol

~Leia:rose:~

[Eowyn of Rohan]

I don't think she does.. as far as I know generally actors don't even try and take a look on the internet! they seem to be scared of it!!
Anyway Miranda should really give it a try..she won't be disappointed!! :) So sad she doesn't have an official site..the ones I know are so rarely updated!

[Charmander]

She doesn't keep up her own site - but I got to http://www.miranda-otto.com and that usually has good stuff on it :thumbs: I know Liv got on-line when she got cast and after our reaction to her appearance at Helms Deep she was a little deterred - as anyone would be ;)

[Aletheia]

lol..well Arwen at Helms deep would upset any Tolkien purist so I wonder that she'd be suprised...I mean..Arwen? at Helms Deep??? :huh: why would new Line even think of doin that? She is perfect just as the lovely elf bride of aragorn, we dont need her to go all Zena on us! lol But this is Eowyn's thread so i will get back to topic....sorry for the bunny trail!

I found a very nice Eowyn site yesterday, all about her & the significant ppl in her life, I :love: it!
I will try & post a link as soon as I find it again.....oops! :trout: to me! lol

lol....I think Miranda wouldnt be dissapointed w/ us...we are very loyal fans!!! we would prob have her blushing! :blush:

~Leia:rose:~

[Eowyn of Rohan]

lol....I think Miranda wouldnt be dissapointed w/ us...we are very loyal fans!!! we would prob have her blushing! :blush:
~Leia:rose:~
I think so Leia! I have the impression that she is a pretty shy person! It has to be strange to have so many people you don't even know talking about you like you were their best friend or something..
I won't add any comment regarding Arwen being @ Helm's Deep...someone had the courage to tell me "what's the problem, Eowyn wasn't there either!" :hmppf:

[Aletheia]

hehe..true! (I mean no offense to Arwen fans, i luv her too :smooch: )

Stumbled across a bit of E/F :love: stuff in home today :)
in one of the original manuscripst, Tolkien wrote a bit more about them, saying a bit that Faramir came & stayed in Edoras w/ Eomer & Eowyn untill their marriage, b/c he couldnt bear to be far from her any more :love:
i think it suffices to say i was :drool:
r we melting yet, ladies? ;)
lol

~Leia:rose:~

[Eowyn of Rohan]

Oh gosh! not sure that melting can express what I'm thinking right now!!! veryhappy
Why there're no Faramirs around???
Leia, did you find this info in the "Letters"?

[Aletheia]

Actually it was randomly spread about 'The End of The Third Age' (HoME), mostly in Christopher tolkien's commentaries & then a bit from an early draft...& when I read it I was all :love: veryhappy :drool: :whoohoo: all at once!!!
*melts all over again*
I love Far!!! I agree, why cant their be real life faramirs? mecry

mini-qoute:"...and faramir abode with him, for he would not be far from eowyn any longer..."
awwwwww! he missed her, and he couldnt stand bein away from her! I will never get over this, I know it! *hugs a pillow* i need to go watch the EE F&E scenes again!

~Leia:rose:~

[Eowyn of Rohan]

Awwww! That's so sweet! I have to buy that book! HoME is History of Middle Earth, wright? written by JRRT's son..
Hope it's available here!!

[Aletheia]

Yup, well, technichally written by JRR, but his son basically compliled all the notes, etc his dad was workin on & then wrote a massive commentary on it....
You can get it at Borders/Barnes & Nobels, though I know www.tolkientown.com has it for less (b/c i am still mad i paid more...lol)
ohoh! before I forget, excelent Eowyn site!
http://www.geocities.com/licia_north/biography.html

k, well thats all for now, it is way past 3am here & i must sleep :snooze:

~Leia:rose:~

[Eowyn of Rohan]

Thanks for the info and for the links Leia! and sleep tight!! :wave:

[Rhianon]

Hi I'm back! I must have missed some exciting stuff while I was gone on Eowyn.

[Vision of the Ring]

:blush: I fell in love with Eowyn when I saw how much love and compassion she had for Gorny. When Gimli tells her "he fell" and then the look on her face as she tears up and gasps for air... *sigh*.. a guy can only dream of having a girl that cares so... :blush:

[Aletheia]

Welcome, Vision of the Ring! :wave: Glad you joined us! :grin:

I first feel in love w/ Wynie's character while reading TT, when it says she was fair & cold, etc...she just struck me as a really interesting character!

~Leia:rose:~

[Vision of the Ring]

thank you Alethia! :wave:

i got scorned in the Arwen/Aragorn thread because i said i thought Eowyn was perfect for Aragorn. but i meant it in the human sense and because they looked like their ages matched while Arwen looked too young. oh boy did i learn my lesson. :grin:

Eowyn is the antithesis of what women's role used to be.. she sort of represents the new age strength and independence of women. she's femininely sensitive, beautiful and caring but fierlessly protectant of her loved ones and questioning the stereotypical roles she was forced upon ("i was told to lead the others into the cave, where's the renown in that?" or something like that). most guys would take Arwen in a heartbeat but she's one of my favorite characters and i'll take her anyday. :p

[Charmander]

I'm a huge E/F fan and I love the A/A thread, so I have to defend them to the point that they are very, very serious about A/A. And you can't compete with their knowledge :nono: I don't think they were trying to 'scorn' you, but educate about the reality of what Professor Tolkien envisioned - that Aragorn and Eowyn could never be together because he was destined to be with Arwen - if you've read the Sil or any part of HoME you'll see this affirmed. To be fair, I could never see Eowyn with Aragorn, Faramir is always the perfect guy for her. I'm happy the way it turned out - and this is me getting of the soapbox lol

[Rhianon]

:grin: I agree with your Char! I mean Faramir and Eowyn have a more interesting relationship because on the surface it seems like they have nothing in common. Its their backgrounds that make their relationship more realistic and meaningful.

[Eowyn of Rohan]

oh that's what a true E/F obsessed says!!
You :rock: Charm And Rhianon! Eowyn and Faramir are soul mates..gosh I have this lame smile on my face again...

[Aletheia]

Oh yes! E&F all the way!!!! :rock:
For me, the first time I read LotR, I was in 5th or 6th grade, and i was bad & read a bit of the end b4 I actually madeit there, so at first I hadnt caught on to the whole A/A thing & i was totally shipping for A/E..BUT then I read all of it, and as soon as i had made it to the Steward and thr King, I was crossing my fingers for Eowyn to melt into Fara's arms...they were perfect for each other!!! & after reading the appendices & HomE & the Sil...I am in luv w/ A/A as well. I think Tolkien planned it out well..both relationships turn out perfectly.
I think its more meaningful anyway that Eowyn has to fall in & out & in of 'love'. She didnt really understand love at first, really it was admiration, and the desire to be/do something that would pluck her out of the obscurity of her caged soul. I dont think it was a true, selfless love, not like what she recieved (& then returned) from Faramir.
I think their relationship shows the power of a heart changed. It frees her, and she can love, really love. But I am getting really wordy, so Ill shut up now.
*shutting up*

[Eowyn of Rohan]

Leia, which volume of HoME you suggest I should buy to read of E/F and A/A?

[Charmander]

I like that explanation Leia :thumbs:! I couldn't have said it better myself!

Eowyn, I think E/F isn't mentioned except in the HoME dedicated to LotR - I think it's 6, 7 and 8...and the letters, he mentions them there.

A/A - with the mention of Beren and Luthien you get a lot in each volume, but it's kind of repetitve :rolleyes: Lady Galadriel has a list somewhere - I think it's in the HoME thread...I wonder if this is helping :huh:

[Eowyn of Rohan]

I'll post the question in that thread then Cham, TNX!! :)

[Vision of the Ring]

I'm a huge E/F fan and I love the A/A thread, so I have to defend them to the point that they are very, very serious about A/A. And you can't compete with their knowledge :nono: I don't think they were trying to 'scorn' you, but educate about the reality of what Professor Tolkien envisioned - that Aragorn and Eowyn could never be together because he was destined to be with Arwen - if you've read the Sil or any part of HoME you'll see this affirmed. To be fair, I could never see Eowyn with Aragorn, Faramir is always the perfect guy for her. I'm happy the way it turned out - and this is me getting of the soapbox lol

Charm.. when i say "scorn" i meant it in the "i deserved it" type way. i KNOW i can't compete with most of your knowledge on Tolkien since i haven't read him yet and was not trying to be "knowledgeable". i thanked them for "educating me". i'm on this site to learn more about Tolkien before i get the privilege to read his works in print.. but that doesn't mean i can't offer my ignoramous opinions on Eowyn/Aragorn. ;)

[Aletheia]

Thanks Char! :blush: :cuddles: I love my E&F!
Um, EoR, I found the most E/F references in The War of the Ring & Sauron defeated (or you could get The End of the 3rd Age, thats just the first part of SD)
I havent read the letters yet :hyper: I want to realllllly bad though!!
Have you guys heard of 'vids'? (do they do that on WotR?) I found a song that would make a good E&F vid :) so I am curious....corse I have no idea how to go about makin one! Im way to technologicaly dense!

~Leia:rose:~

[Eowyn of Rohan]

Thank you soo much Leia! I'll buy them immediately on play.com!!

[Aletheia]

No prob, EoH :smooch: Enjoy your reading, mellon nin!

~Leia:rose:~

[Eowyn of Rohan]

I've placed the order Leia, hope that it won't take long!!! :me wants to read more about them: !!!

[Eowyn of Rohan]

On this website http://lotrscrapbook.bookloaf.net/topten/index.html

I found this funny list: top 10 reasons why Eowyn chose Faramir over Aragorn

10.He's available
9. He's not suicidle (Paths of the Dead *cough*)
8. He doesn't wear prissey Elven jewlery
7. Faramir never had to glue HIS sword back together
6. He is a little more realistic about his women (bloody Elves)
5. He wasn't an only child
4. He's also an orphan... now
3. He also has his own kingdom
2. He's a little less depressing (but not by much)

and the #1 reason Eowyn chose Faramir over Aragorn...

1. He's always clean

I laughed so hard!!! lol

[Charmander]

That is too funny!! I love eight!! I hope the A/A thread doesn't see that :scaredy:

[Eowyn of Rohan]

i love no. 7 and 4..! but hey The A/A girls should be happy that "we" don't stalk their Aragorn anymore! ;)

[Charmander]

Wait, we don't :huh: right, right - I got it - can't stalk more than two people at a time, can I just alternate?

[Eowyn of Rohan]

Actually i'm stalking more then 4 guys at the moment...but :shhh:
ps do you have denny deckchair's DVD? are there any good extra?
I'm searching it around but it's not easy here.. :(

[Charmander]

I saw it on-line, it has commentary, but not with Miranda - there doesn't seem much of redeeming value on that DVD - at least the one state-side :huh:

Good, so I can stalk others, excellent :thumbs:

[Eowyn of Rohan]

ah so you don't have it...can you suggest me some film Miranda related which is worthy for you? I wanted to see her in a non-Eowyn role! ;)

Yay! let's stalk the world!!! lol

[Aletheia]

Oh fun, you guys are stalking ppl? (If there cute, count me in k? ;))

~Leia:rose:~

[Eowyn of Rohan]

We generally stalk who Eowyn would stalk...so there's not a great choice...BUT since there're so many men in ME...go on with the stalking!

[Charmander]

:hooray: for stalking!! Let me think - well 'Flight of the Phoenix' was really good - I really liked 'Love Serende' a very, very different role for her...I have 'Julie Walking Home' - but she has an American accent, so I'm not in love with that move. You see her briefly in 'What Lies Beneath' - she's done a lot more, but that's all I've seen :( I know, my stalking liscense should be revoked :(

[Eowyn of Rohan]

Oh thanks Charm! You are a first rate stalker! Thanks for the advices! :grin:

[Charmander]

First rate stalker :hooray: I never knew there were ratings ;) I wonder where that puts our dear friend Lady Arwen - she is well beyond first rate, ;) I think lol

[Eowyn of Rohan]

Oh Lady Arwen would be a senior member in the stalkers club!! ;)
I just read that "the war of the worlds" will open also here!!! YAY!!!
we'll see it for the end of june I think!! SO happy! Miranda will be on screen again! :)

[Rhianon]

:grin: I can't wait to see that movie too. Isn't it coming out sometime this year? She plays Tom Cruise's wife and she is preggers in the movie too.

[Eowyn of Rohan]

Yes it comes out this year! can't wait to see it and even if I don't like those kind of movies... there's Miranda in it and so it's a MUST!!!

[Charmander]

That's my logic too :thumbs: Miranda Otto in movie - must see movie ;) I don't know when it comes out here - I wonder which premerie she'll be at :mmmm: this could be another opportunity for stalking ;)

[Eowyn of Rohan]

if the US premiere is not too far she will surely attend it and sooo...tons of new piccies and the occasion for you to honour our obsession!!! :grin:

[Charmander]

Ah, you're right - and if US Airways doesn't go under before then I could stalk her all over the US :idea: the possibilities are endless lol

[Eowyn of Rohan]

She still lives in Australia right? If I should ever go there I'd have a great no. of actor/es to stalk!
First of course Miranda, but also Daisy and Nicole Kidman!
Talking abuot Miranda's baby which should be of his/her name?
I love guessing! ;)

[Charmander]

I wonder...I'm with you on the stalking though, she is in Aussie - and so are they, well, at least Daisy - but with all their varying schedules it might be interesting to see who else would be there - to stalk...I wonder if they've already picked names.

I want to say that her parents named her after the Shakespearan character Miranda - but I could be really off :huh: lol so I wonder if she and her husband will follow suit ;)

[Eowyn of Rohan]

oh yes..Admired Miranda..beautiful name!!
I'm not really into Shakespeare (I'm at the basic level aka Romeo & Juliet) so I could not give her any suggestion :(

[Aletheia]

Shakespear :thumbs: Miranda is a good choice, the Tempest is a cool story! & her namesake is a pretty sweet character too ;)
hmmm....other good Shakespear name's....Otheillia/Lucriece/ladyMacbeth/ arent really all that great for baby name....lol, Miranda's lucky she got the name she did!

~Leia:rose:~

[Charmander]

hmm...I think I wouldn't mind Juliet - but that might not fit thier family ;) may be they'll name the child (we still don't know if it's a boy or a girl :huh:) after some one they know :huh: Now that she's pregnant I don't think she's working on anything :( we're going to have to wait a while to see our beloved shieldmaiden again mecry

[Eowyn of Rohan]

Now that she's pregnant I don't think she's working on anything :( we're going to have to wait a while to see our beloved shieldmaiden again mecry
Sadly I guess you're right Char...
BTW I saw a few pics from Denny Deckchair...How much is she EOWYN-ish in that movie??? we wantsss it!!!!

[Aletheia]

Ok time to resurect this thread! roflmao
anywayz, as this is eowyn's thread, I just hafta say that i am getting an Eowyn dress! :whoohoo: Only i cant decide which one :huh: they're all so pretty!
I still havent seen Flight of the Pheonix yet :hmpph: and its out of theaters now....dernit. and as Miranda is preggy, thers not much hope for any new films for a whike, as Char said.
any piccys been released of the mum-to-be yet though??

~Leia:rose:~

[Eowyn of Rohan]

Oh thanks Leia for resurrecting this thread!!! :)
I haven't seen the flight of the phoenix nor denny deckchair... :( I'm not even sure if they will be available for the dvd market here! :o pfbbt
By the way my hopes are in the war of the worlds (tom cruise is the main character so of course it will be in our theatres)
For Miranda preggy piccies...I think Isa posted one in the PF, but then nothing...guess she is a very reserved person!

[Domlegolas]

I just surfing Internet and looking some pixs, so I found pretty Miranda with makeup, hair and dress. Possible some of u already see it but I just wanted to post it http://www.warofthering.net/photoforum/showphoto.php?photo=9685 at PF :)

And I didnt find pix of her of "Flight of the Phoneix", also "War of the World", humm... Only trailor....

[Eowyn of Rohan]

Oh that's a wonderful pic from ROTK LA premiere, she was glowing!!!
always very coloured and stilish!

[Charmander]

Flight of the Phoenix comes out on DVD tomorrow :grin: I might go get it - though I just bought a laptop, so may be I shouldn't go to Best Buy for a while...

[Eowyn of Rohan]

I know what you mean and I admire your determination...but I could not resist!
miranda stufff ......my preciousss!!! ;)

[Eowyn of Rohan]

sorry for double posting but no one writes and I have another question...did any of you see Emma's war?
it's available for my DVD region on the internet and I wanted to know what's about!
Maybe Charmander who knows pretty much everything of Miranda can help me!! :)

[Rhianon]

:cool: Thank you for resurrecting this thread too. I didn't get a chance to see THE FLIGHT OF THE PHOENIX. I had heard that it wasn't that bad.

[Charmander]

My bad Eowyn, I just saw this post :blush: I know, you can have Ithil turn me another colour ;)

I haven't seen Emma's War, but I beleive she had a fairly prominent role in it...for me that's enough to buy it lol - which is what I did when I bought 'Julie Walking Home' - I know, I push that obsessive envelope lol If I were you I'd jump all over that...www.miranda-otto.com may have a synopsis...I've been so remiss, I haven't been there in forever :(

Rhianon - wasn't bad - it had Miranda in it - it was great!! Plus, she has the first lines which are pretty :nono: lol

[Aletheia]

Oh I just saw FotP last week! Like Charm said...the sheildmaiden was in it, so it was good!!!

~Leia:rose:~

[Charmander]

I think that's the whole reason to see it ;) I can't wait until War of the Worlds comes out...I saw a big standee of it in the cinema and I ran over to see her name :grin: can't wait!

[Aletheia]

OMG, me too!!!! :hooray: I liked the original (despite the vacum-cleaner reminiscent aliens lol) and I am realllllllly excited to see the new one...w/ Miranda!!

~Leia:rose:~

[Charmander]

I never saw the original, so I'm going in blind lol - what makes it worse - I know I'm going to see things thrown my way...but I really can't stand Tom Cruise - but I am seeing War of the Worlds at least once ;) For our beloved shieldmaiden notworthy

[Eowyn of Rohan]

Charm since I have to buy them on the internet could you make a list of the Miranda-is in-it-so-it's-a-MUST have movies? ;)
God knows if FotP will make it in our cinemas.. :(

[Charmander]

Well, I'll be more than happy to - but do you want any of her movies, or the ones where she is amazing - I know, it's blasephemous (sp?) of me to think that any aren't top-notch...but I mean some of the stories are...yeah...so if you have any additional parameters let me know ;) and then I will be list making (lol that's a Simpsons reference - 'I am a new tie wearing - oh yeah' - anyone?)

[Eowyn of Rohan]

Well you could choose the ones you loves the most, I somehow think that I'd love them too! :)
Oh yesterday I found Denny Deckchair's DVD at last :hooray: veryhappy !!!
I'll watch it tonight and review maybe in the weekend!!

[Charmander]

Eowyn - I went to miranda-otto.com (http://www.miranda-otto.com/filmography.php) and found a full listing of her movies. I saw Danny Deckchair over the summer and thougt it was ok - of course Miranda was amazing! I have seen FotP and need to get in gear and buy it ;) Love Serenade is a good movie, she's amazing in that also - the story at the end is a little :huh: What Lies Beneath is a great movie, but not a lot of Miranda in it :( I've heard that Human Nature is good and she's great in it, but I haven't seen it...Haven't been able to see In My Father's DeN or Through My Eyes - but they both sound excellent - hope that helps :)

[Eowyn of Rohan]

Hey Char, thanks for your opinions! :) As I told you I finally got Danny Deckchair....it was really sweet and Miranda was gorgeous (no surprise about that!) ;)
I saw what lies beneath and she was quite pretty in there but yes too little on screen :(
no info in the others...I'll keep on searching! :) :)

[Charmander]

I just saw a trailer for War of the World!! Way too much Tom Cruise, not nearly enough Miranda!! I was a little confused about what the plot is, but that's because I haven't seen the original...she better have a decent amount of face time...

[Eowyn of Rohan]

I saw that trailer too and I'm quite disappointed :nono: ..isn't she supposed to be Cruise's wife? this should be an important role!!

[Charmander]

well - I'll refrain from any commentary about Tom Cruise :rolleyes: but I haven't seen the original - so I don't have much to go on...it looks like it's all about Tom and Dakota - I want more Miranda!!

[Eowyn of Rohan]

Let's be honest, who wants to see Tom and Dakota (that little girl is so good that freaks me out...!) lol we'll go to see that movie only because of her and they cut the shield-maiden?? :nono: if the war of the worlds wasn't about beeing released I'd start a petition!! ;)

[Charmander]

I know!! Tom who? Dakota who? I'm in it for the Aussie! Don't worry - she's in it, but it does seem like much :( I guess we'll see when the movie comes out...so long ago...

[Eowyn of Rohan]

yeah still ages to WotW release, are you going to spoil yourself?
I'm trying hard not to, but I'm just so curious! ;)

[Charmander]

lol - no, I think I'm going to try and hold out - I don't want to go in with high expectations of seeing a lot of our shieldmaiden only to have them dashed to bits ;) I am curious though :)

[Eowyn of Rohan]

I have to resist! I have to resist! thanks God I don't have access to the internet in the next days!

[Charmander]

I am going to avoid looking too...I think I can hold out - I wonder what she's doing now - these are times when I wish we had access to more Australian media ;)

[Eowyn of Rohan]

yes unfortunately our press does not talk about Miranda a lot, but hey finally a good news!
our cinemas will show the flight of the phoenix! at least now I know that its dvd will surely come out!! :)

[Charmander]

:thumbs: that is so awesome! You get to see the shieldmaiden in an interesting role! And she speaks in her native Australian accent :love: which is so great!! When you get to see it I'm expecting a full review ;) even though I've seen it!

[Eowyn of Rohan]

'course I will! even if I think that we'll comment first the war of the worlds!

[Charmander]

I'm just glad we're able to see any of her movies! I was on her site earlier and there is another movie called 'In My Father's Den' and I want to see it, but I don't think it's being released here :( I'll have to keep my eyes open ;)

[Eowyn of Rohan]

I think that since it's a New Zelander movie, it will be pretty difficult to find, but we'll manage to... ;)
What about Julie walking home? I read a few reviews and it was well considered, another un-findable one... :nono:

[Charmander]

I have Julie Walking Home - it is OK - she was excellent in it :thumbs: of course. The plot kind of left me wondering a little...but some times I'm not so bright :p

[Eowyn of Rohan]

Well I only saw the screencaps and read a few reviews so I can't give you an objective opinion about it...but she looks really amazing!
oh TFotP will be released on 29th of april..can't wait!! :grin:

[Charmander]

That's less than a month away! I think I'm going to try and get that this week...I do love electronics stores...

It is worth seeing, I guess - we are die hard fans...it should be like one of those cards...a scavenger hunt, where yuo check off things as you go :p It's getting late, may be I'm not making sense lol

[Elanor_dh]

Knock, knock... Hello Charm :wave:
Do we already know the name of Miranda's baby? Or do we have any picture of them together?? Ooooh how I wish to see it...

[Charmander]

You know, I haven't heard anything yet, but I will keep my feelers out ;) In the meantime we need to gear up for War of the Worlds!! Can't wait to see Miranda in that!!

[Eowyn]

oooh didn't know she was in that! Excellent. I don't think I've seen her in anything non-lotr related :(

and I want to know the name of her baby. I'm so pleased for her

[Charmander]

well, I checked http://www.miranda-otto.com/ again, but no news yet...although it was last updated ealier this month...I'll keep my eyes open ;)

[Eowyn]

and I shall keep an eye on this thread for news from you lol I think it's a great system ;)

[Rhianon]

Miranda finally had her baby! Is it a boy or a girl? :yahoo: I am very happy for her and her husband.

[Eowyn of Rohan]

It's a baby girl Rhianon!! but unfortunately we don't know her name or her face yet :(
Hope that she will look like her gorgeous mommy!! :grin:

[Charmander]

Hey gang! Our very own Eowyn of Rohan has reported that the name of the baby is Darcey big ups on excellent sleuthing my dear :smooch:

[Elanor_dh]

:yahoo: :hooray: We know it. Finally !!! Thank you Eowyn of Rohan :smooch: and Charm :smooch: for getting over this news to us :) What we only need now is a picture of them together :)

[Eowyn]

EoR thanks for letting us know and CHar thanks for passing on the message :thumbs:

Darcey... it's nice I'm certainly glad she didn't go all out and call her Tinkerbell or something equally daft

[Aletheia]

Finally we know the baby's name! Darcey! Lovely! :)

[Charmander]

Well, haven't we seen some strange celebrity children's names of late? Didn't Gwenth Paltrow name her baby apple? Like there aren't perfectly good names out there :huh:

[Aletheia]

Yeah, she did name her kid Apple :rolleyes: poor kid...can you imagine going through life as a fruit? lol Apple Paltrow....wow.....

At least Miranda picked a decent name! :angel:

[Eowyn]

Yes and I agree Apple is a silly name for a child :rolleyes:

[Eowyn of Rohan]

I agree guys Darcey is a lovely name! :)
I knew that our Lady wouldn't have named her daughter with some strange name!
Hope that we will get a pic of them soon! :grin:

[Charmander]

yeah, I couldn't imagine Miranda doing anything outlandish :)

apple :rolleyes: does that mean if she has other childern they'll be named Orange or Banana - how cruel...like kids aren't mean enough already :(

[Rhianon]

:grin:Darcey is a very pretty name! I happen to agree with you when you say that naming a child after a piece of fruit is ridiculous. I always thought that Gwyneth Paltrow was an intelligent person who was very down to Earth. I am however not saying that Gwennie is not smart. I think that naming your daughter Apple is just plain weird. :blink:

[Eowyn of Rohan]

I agree with both of you! I'm quite traditional with names! ;)
btw, still no pics??? I want to see them! :grin:

[Rhianon]

Yeah. I would love to see her cute little face. :cuddles:.

[Eowyn of Rohan]

Rhianon if you go to my gallery in the photo forum..you'll get a sight of lovely Darcey! :grin:

[Charmander]

less than a month gang! then War of the Worlds is out here :) Can't wait to see our beloved Miranda! I don't think she's doing any projects since having the baby - I wonder when she'll next start working again - she can't leave us without something to see her in :o

[Eowyn of Rohan]

Yep Charm..can't wait to see her in War of worlds!
As for her return the the screen..I don't know...I imagine that she will enjoy her time with Darcey and hubby for a while! :grin:

[Rhianon]

:love: What a pretty little girl Miranda and Peter has.

[Charmander]

went to see War of the Worlds yesterday, and despite the tart commentary in the movie section about Miranda here :rolleyes: she was fantastic! Yes she was only in a small portion of the movie :( but overall, it was amazing - I don't think you'll be disappointed at all :thumbs: very scary though...

[Eowyn of Rohan]

I will see the movie tonight..I know that she has a pretty small part but I'm sure I'll love it! :grin:
I'll come back here tomorrow to comment it amongst fair obsessed!! lol ;)

[Charmander]

so :grin: wasn't it charmanderific ;) but now there is nothing to see Miranda in :( I think I'm going through withdrawal :(

[Eowyn of Rohan]

Yes..no movie to wait for now :( ...btw did you see her movie called tree legged fox (or something like that?)

[Charmander]

:mmmm: never heard of it...but you have a point, we can go back in time and snag some of her older movies ;) though some are a little mediocre...

[Eowyn of Rohan]

It's a pity that she was not chosen to be in some good film in her youth! (not that she's too old now, but she's almost in her 40s..)
I was also looking for Julie walking home..but I can't find it anywhere... :-/

[Charmander]

Julie Walking Home is ok...it isn't great - of course its great to have that much Miranda, she's in basically the entire movie - but the story is kind of...odd...I'm not sure how better to describe it :p Love Serenade is interesting - and Danny Deckchair is amusing ;) but you're right, she isn't getting any younger :(

[Eowyn of Rohan]

Love serenade..heard about that too but..kinda impossible to buy...
Denny deckchair is really cute...she also makes some shieldmaiden expressions!
PS did you notice that Tom cruise has an Eowyn moment in WotW? lol

[Charmander]

really :huh: *taps poke head* I don't recall :blush: I know :trout:

[Eowyn of Rohan]

mmmhh SPOILER :grin:

when Tom and Dakota are at Tim Robbins' house and the alien gets into the basement. Tom grabs an axe and cuts the alien's loooong neck....I almost expected him saying I AM NO MAN!!!! lol

[Charmander]

ohhh *slaps poke forehead* I totally zone out sometimes :p yes, that was very :eowyn: like ;)

[Jenny Chen]

Why didn't Tom say: "I AM NO WOMAN"? lol

[Elanor_dh]

Why didn't Tom say: "I AM NO WOMAN"? lol
:blink: :lmao: It's good that he didn't say "I AM NO MAN!" lol ;) As EoR pointed out. That would be a little confusing... ;) lol

[Rhianon]

:grin: I would only see WoTW because Miranda is in it. And Dakota Fanning too. I however think that Tom Cruise is not that great an actor. Plus his belief that psychology is a psuedo science is irresponsible. :angry:

[LuthienT]

*Lt peaks in timidly to see all is quiet* Where is everyone?
Oh well! Go Eowyn! lol

[NeatNicki]

Yay, it DOES exist!! :hooray:
Sooooooooo, where IS everybody???

[Ranger of Ithilien]

*steps into Eowyn thread* HELLo!! *waves* :eowyn:

[LuthienT]

*Hugs Ranger of Ithilien and NeatNikki* Welcome! Come in, come in! Don't be shy! *Pulls out a some comfy couches* I can't believe how well hidden this thread was! lol

[Ranger of Ithilien]

*hugs back* ;) I've never actually noticed it before. When I did, I was like, 'Im a Eowyn fan!!' lol Well, there we go, I'm a very slow person. :p *sits down on the comfy couches* ;)

[NeatNicki]

I couldn't even find this thread, so tried to get another going on our lovely lady! :blush: I'll sheepishly take this seat in the corner... lol
I sparked an interest anew with LotR and all its character, first, by re-reading it (round three! with notes this time!) and also by buying a hunky Faramir doll creation. Oh, yes, an Eowyn doll is in mind. I have to find a good place to commission one first. I think I've decided on the Green Gown for the dolly!
Hey, is there any espresso around here? I'm quite the coffee adict! :grin:

[Ranger of Ithilien]

*hands Nicki a espresso coffee* ;)
oh and I love the green dress best! :grin: that was my favourite of all her dresses. :)

[NeatNicki]

*takes espresso gladly* Oh, thank you for that! Between this and the latte I had at Mocha's, I'm wired for the week! lol

Sad to say, but I gave away, as part of a trade, the doll I was going to use for Eowyn. :-/ It's OK. I'm getting a free repaint in exchange some of the dollies that I wasn't that fond of to begin!

I will be getting another of the same doll in a week or so, though! :grin: Maybe in April I'll be able to submit her for my Eowyn project. I'm excited! I've seen some gorgeous costumes designs for Eowyn, but haven't found a doll repaint that's really looked like Miranda Otto. And, yes, they've been using her as a model! :( Some dolls they us just have the wrong nose completely!

Hey, can I share my dolly passion with you guys and ask if this girl in this auction has any Eowyn potential in her at all? Here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5650107782&ssPageName=MERC_VI_RSCC_Pr4_PcY_BIN_Stores_IT
I can definitely see her chin. and kind of her nose... is it just me? :blush:

At least I'm happily decided upon getting the Green Gown made! lol It'll better match the green/brown in Faramir's Ranger costume.

[Ranger of Ithilien]

Its definately her chin, alright! ;) and her nose. :) Yup, I think that'll make a rather good Eowyn. Her lips look a little Wynish too!! :grin:

You're getting the green dress made!! :hyper: Your lucky dolly!! :p Yes, that and Faramir's costume will suit just perfectly I think. *sighs* Aw sweet!! ;)

[NeatNicki]

Oh, good. whew!! I was beginning to see Mirando Otto in every doll from this company! :-/ Going a little LotR happy! :p Oh, what else is new?
I have to wait til Spring until the artist's schedule clears up a little and I've saved a little more moola for another dolly! (Faramir was expensive!!) When choosing a dolly, I was looking for critical points in order to lessen any facial sculpting (and save me some money! lol) - lips, nose, chin, face shape. I'm glad you think she looks like her! Yay, I think I made a good choice!

Now... do we have any good Wyn discussion ideas? lol

[Ranger of Ithilien]

yep, I like the Eowyn dolly very much!! :grin:

Any Eowyn discussion ideas? Hmm, :-/ where can we start?? :p

[Eowyn of Rohan]

Any Eowyn discussion ideas? Hmm, :-/ where can we start?? :p
Pick me, pick me! I have a discussion idea!! :grin:
Do you think that she had a love story before Faramir?? (And here I am with my serious question!!! lol )

[NeatNicki]

Ooooh, a good topic!! Hmmmm... did she have a previous love story? Besides her infatuation with Aragorn? lol

Actually, come to think of it, I did read somewhere that Eowyn might have been so busy taking care of her ailing uncle and watching over their people in his stead, while her brother was away patrolling the lands, that I think she didn't have a chance for love. I think her surrogate leader role would have taken up all her time and energy that there was no opportunity to meet anyone or have a courtship. She is about 22/23 when she meets Aragorn. Goodness knows how many years Theoden had been dwindling under the influence of Saruman... It does seem though, that a good amount of her "eligible dating years", so to speak, were wasted away.

[Ranger of Ithilien]

She had Grima chasing around after her... (poor lass) :p He was definately inflatuated with her. But do you think he loved her?

[NeatNicki]

Maybe Grima did love her, in a sick sort of way. It's more like he was an obsessed-stalker. I'd almost forgotten about the Grima problem! So, that would definitely have hindered any time for courtships and relationships! poor Eowyn! :(

[Eowyn of Rohan]

I'd almost forgotten about the Grima problem!
I just can't forget about Grima...look at my avvie!! ;) gals I love that scene! :blush: Not as much as the HoH one but still...

[Ranger of Ithilien]

I really enjoyed that scene too!! :grin: One of my definate favourites with Eowyn. :) and EoR I've always loved your avvie!! ;) :smooch:

[NeatNicki]

Hi fellow Eowyn lovers! :wave:

I only have Eowyn-dolly news.... I've commissioned a Green Gown for my dolly that is destined to become Eowyn. She comes complete with boots, staying true to the film-version Eowyn. Once that's done, I'll post it in the photo-forums. :grin:
I still have yet to get her repainted. No one's commission-book is open at the moment... but the year is young, still, and there's hope that I'll find someone who will do a good job on her. veryhappy I'm aiming for a Mirando Otto look for the dolly. Anything close would be great!
How's everyone doing in here? :)
