What a hideous monster. The orc is pretty ugly, too.

Orc: “I’m not THAT evil!”

"Yes, I follow the dark will of Sauron, but I don't rape people! That's just sick!"

Courtney Love once walked past some microphone-wielder at an event, who asked if she had any advice for aspring young women in the business. Her friend muttered something to her and you can hear her reply, "No, he'll sue me," but then after a second she went back to the mic and said, "If Harvey Weinstein invites you to a party at the Four Seasons, don't go."

Try the roast of Pamela Anderson. It'll make you hate everyone involved.

i watched it years ago, but i was 13 so i was the target audience lol

I do wonder how much of the Courtney hate I've seen over the years was started by Harvey over that.

"Hard to work with" is Hollywood code for "This chick wouldn't suck my dick in my office"

Arwen stepping on an orc's balls, with the orc played by Quentin Tarantino of course
Windex007@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 68d
And Arwen played by Uma Thurman

Samuel L Jackson as Gollum, Buscemi as the Mouth of Sauron
chiliedogg@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 68d
Buscemi would have been a legit excellent Wormtongue or Denethor.
Boardwalk Empire really sold me on his range as an actor.
SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de · 9 pts · 68d
Y'know... I'd watch that
the_mighty_kracken@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 67d
You're out of your depth, Wormtongue!
TastyWheat@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 67d
This made me think of what Gilbert Gottfried would have been like as the Mouth of Sauron
tacosanonymous@mander.xyz · 8 pts · 68d
You know it’s be Galadriel or Arwen.
Also, he’d definitely cast himself as the guy who calls the orcs the n-word 17 times.

I really wanted a Tom Bombadil taking off his boots scene.
Then we could have a scene of Goldberry sloshing through a muddy stream with her feet, in front of a grunting old man willow.

cmbabul@slrpnk.net · 3 pts · 68d
Ok I would watch this, it would be terrible on the best possible way

The Shakespeare in Love guy
Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 68d
Not a much better fit tbh 😄
Maultasche@lemmy.world · 65 pts · 68d
While a lot of people think it's Gothmog or the Orc Inspector, according to the mask's sculptor Michael Asquith it's actually this background orc
GreenKnight23@lemmy.world · 18 pts · 68d
the resemblance is uncanny.

Bummer of a thumbnail for Elijah there.

Now that you mention it, I've never personally seen them in a room together...

I don’t know how he has done it. Before LotR, he was largely unknown. After LotR, nothing big came out. So I understand that film studios were hesitant, as so many people try to pitch their ideas as the next billion dollar movie.
It just had to happen. And it would have never been as successful with Miramax or with only 2 movies. Everything just perfectly fit, something that probably isn’t going to happen again in our lifetimes.

You know we have this thing called IMDB. It could really fill in your gaps in this situation.
