I know, I need to send some PM's out and try and get people to come back.

Muse of Kindness, maybe?

Jazz - Ah, I see. I understand now.

**KervyQT16** · 02-13-2007, 07:07 PM

I'm sorry, I had to go into archives and this was what I found.

Mandy

**Jazz** · 02-15-2007, 07:32 AM

That's okay...it wasn't saved that long before the crash...we had to work with what we got!!!

**KervyQT16** · 02-15-2007, 08:33 PM

We did indeed, besides you do have a nice name now at any rate.

Good morning, Muses!

It's been too long since I've watched any of the movies. Think I'll try to find some LotR time this weekend.

**tonka17** · 02-18-2007, 03:21 AM

I was recently watching the a/a scenes so beautiful especially the evenstar moment...so beautiful!

Anla · 02-18-2007, 05:41 AM

Yes, that was beautiful. The scenery, the lighting, the words they exchanged - all so lovely.

**Jazz** · 02-19-2007, 07:37 AM

I still have my Evenstar, so gorgeous. I also have Aragorn's pipe and ring too.

Anla · 02-19-2007, 09:32 AM

That's cool. I love wearing my evenstar necklace, too.

**KervyQT16** · 02-20-2007, 12:04 AM

I still don't have one. One of these days I'll buy one, it's so stunning. Also it's a great representation.

Mandy

**tonka17** · 02-20-2007, 12:21 AM

Ohh i wanted one of those yet, i never have, and my mum was gonna buy me one too or was it my sister? I dunno but they never did....ahh!

I was looking back at the old threads and i LOVE all these quotes:

Quote:

"(My character) knows that Aragorn loves her. He's just having a little moment -- the wandering eye syndrome. Look, her father's like, "Leave her alone, you can't be with her. Accept it. Deal with it," he's trying to do the right thing. Then Aragorn suddenly meets this woman, a human, who's the ancestor of kings like he is, and they have a lot in common. They can share something that maybe he and (Arwen) can't, but he's not in love (with Eowyn). It's not destiny, it's not fireworks -- it's a little more practical. Whereas our relationship is not practical at all, it's just sort of.. beautiful" ~Liv Tyler

"She's very relaxed and surprisingly mature. She was so convincing, I honestly began imagining she really was an elf princess. As an actor, you learn to make the best of where you're living and who you are with at the time. People like Liv were so warm and welcoming to me, it made the work a pleasure" ~ Viggo Mortensen

I was with Viggo [Mortensen] and [sword-fighting coach] Bob Anderson, and I was surrounded by about 20 Uruk-hai who were all hitting me, and I had to attack them. It was terrifying! I just hid behind Viggo" ~Liv Tyler

"And what about Arwen? "She's really the love of his life," Mortensen says, "But he's not always sure how he feels about her because they're so seldom together or able to be at peace. So, he's not sure whether he can love her or be worthy of her. He knows how much she will have to give up to be with him, and it weighs on him." ~Viggo Mortensen

"[Arwen] is Aragorn?s inspiration, on some level, throughout. She is his muse. There is a fated aspect of that relationship. He is always conscious, in some way, that it is his destiny to be with her somehow. I think also he feels guilt over his own heritage, and what damage was done by his forefathers. He also feels guilty about being with her. If he would be with her, he would rob her of her immortality. If an elf is with a human, they lose that." -Viggo Mortensen

"There's an interesting moment in all of this. Later on there's a moment when he's [Frodo] with Sam, and he kinda looks out over Rivendell, and you don't ever see what he's looking at. And we had shot a sequence where he sees me, and I look up at him, and Aragorn comes and meets me and you see us have this kind of tender moment, and then walk away. But that little moment didn't end up in the film, so..." -Liv Tyler

?I was staying with some friends in England, and it was New Year?s,? says Liv Tyler by e-mail. ?My husband, Roy, and I were sleeping, and I woke to the sound of our friends? two little boys. They were going around the bedrooms opening the doors and looking in. When they got to our door, one little boy went to open it and the other said, ?No! Don?t open that door. The princess is sleeping in there.? It made my heart leap out of my chest. I think that was the first time I really realized the impact these films had on people.? -Liv Tyler

"I always feel really shy and a little bit needy when my ears are out! When they are not showing, I feel more confident. Viggo is completely obsessed with the ears! Every single scene we shot, he tried to throw in a moment when he touched the ears purely for the audience. He thinks that there are going to be some people out there with a fetish for elves' ears! (Laughter) Every single shot we did together, he would stroke my ear, and I was trying to keep a straight face and act! He would be looking at me lovingly and stroking my ear. It is so funny!" - Liv Tyler

"People don't think that we ever look at the stuff, and I once made the mistake of going and reading some of the stuff, and I cried so hard afterwards 'cause they were calling me like, 'Liv Tyler: Xena Warrior" - Liv Tyler

"But I think they found better ways to do that by mining the appendices of the Lord of the Rings, of which Tolkien himself said that the one concerning Arwen and Aragorn was the most important one." - Viggo Mortensen

"And what we came to realize was that you don't have to put a sword in her [Arwen's] hands to make her strong. And I mean this is an incredibly powerful and fearless woman filled with so much hope and belief and that is strong enough." - Liv Tyler

And I really respond to it and really enjoyed getting to work with him and do all those scenes. When I saw this film, there is this scene where we get these kisses and even when I was watching it, I was like "Whooo.." It's really sexy, but when I was actually kissing him his beard is so coarse and straight, it sticks out straight and kind of trimmed to be this stubbly look. And i couldn't actually get to his lips I was actually just sorta of kissing his mustache, but it doesn't look that way. I kept saying, "I can't find your lips. It's like I'm not kissing you." But you can't tell that on-screen it does. - Liv Tyler

Also does liv/arwen have athread on this board?

**KervyQT16** · 02-20-2007, 12:32 AM

I was thinking of restarting it. She did at one time.

The quotes are so wonderful because they both support the Muses but also a shared respect between Viggo and Liv.

Mandy

Anla · 02-20-2007, 02:31 AM

Yeah, one of my favorite things about the DVDs were all the extras, the commentaries and interviews, because the cast really seemed to like and respect each other. (Which, considering how much time they had to spend together to make the movies, is undoubtedly a good thing.

)

This is really the only thread I ever visit on this board.......

**tonka17** · 02-20-2007, 02:40 AM

I think you should restart the Liv one, lol!!

I agree they all resected one another, and i loved that liv and viggo got along so well cause it really came across on screen and made their couple so believeable!
