I'm back!!
It was SOOOO MUCH FUN!! Not as huge as I'd expected, but still a lot of fun! Not as many people dressed up as I'd hoped, but still a lot of fun. I won't bore you with the vendor room, my getting lost when I passed the parking structure, my getting lost going home trying to avoid a huge accident (AND TRAFFIC) going home, or.... OK OK! Here are the Bloopers!
As quoted above, they absolutely wanded us: no electronics allowed.
period. Sooo... I watched it 3 times to make sure I remembered everything... and took notes in the dark!
And I realized, when writing in a hurry, I scribble.... and write over pre-written stuff... and I can't read some of it, but here is what I remember/can read! Also, there's a lot of use of the word _u_k. So I will use Frack or Fark (however it comes out of my fingers! ::giggles:: ) instead.
It opened with the "
Da....DA........DA....DA-DA! BOOM,BOOM, BOOM,BOOM... from 2001: A Space Odessy. There was a horse.... which had people standing in as the front and back of the horse. It was a real looking horse, too! Then you see PJ in the front hall of Bag End and the camera tilts so it looks like he's trying to walk up the walls. Then you see hobbits rolling a barrel and chickens are running in front of it.... and they get rolled over! (they're fine! really!). 2001 music still playing... more of PJ spinning in Bag End, then you see a ringwraith trying to get on his horse.... and failing! Then someone throws an inflateable dolphin over a small model ship in the bluescreen stage... and the 2001 music is done.
Next is Saroun (the witch king? Big pointy helmet, no face...... they look so much alike! I think it was the WK.) trying to pull his sword out of the scabbard... and it got stuck! Then Pete and Sean (Sam) are talking, PJ says, "Sean is hoping to be a spokesman for Gillette razors!" Sean laughs then puts on his best 'announcer/commercial' voice: "Hobbit's don't get facial hair, but actors do. When I'm out on location and need a clean, close shave, I use the best a man can get: Gillette." OMG
that was funny!
Now it's Gimli's turn! They're in Lothlorian and he's saying the line, "Do you know what this dwarf says to that? (all the elvish I don't understand)". Well, at least John R-D is
trying to say the elvish ... "Do you know what this dwarf says to that?... Gimme the line! (elvish messed up)" "Do you know what this dwarf says to that? Noch lur shli..... gimmie the line!" Over and over. Then he couldn't even say Dwarf! and he cracked a smile before it cut to... The battle in front of the Black Gates. It's a side shot with Legolas in the far right side of the screen (actually his double, sorry girls!) and Gimli taking up most of the shot. Gimli says, "I never thought I would die side by side with an elf" (Forgive me if I got it wrong... haven't seen it in a while and we were all a bit loud with laughter), then the LeggyDouble says, "How about with a friend?" **note: LeggyDouble is holding the bow upright in his left hand, with G on his right. He's not holding the bow very still.. it keeps almost crossing G's face.** Gimli: "I can do that.... get that Farking stick out of my shot you trick!(make the 't' a 'p'... filters don't allow the word.)"
OMG it was SOOOO funny! (think I say that alot!)
(had to leave, now I'm back!)
Elrond is in his study talking to Gandalf and saying, "They are looking for answers, Gandalf.... frackit!" "They're looking for... frack!" "They are looking for answers, Gandalf, and they'll want me to.... frackfrackfrack!!"
Now Faramir gets his! They're in the cave in Amon Hen (right?) and Faramir and his "thugs" walk into the shot with a very funny head puppet of PJ.... Faramir holds it up and covers his mouth as if itching, then the PJ head "says", "you must come with me now." I wish I could describe the puppet head... it was realistic in a goofy kinda way. Next is Gandalf telling Frodo (FOTR) to get out quickly and Frodo couldn't get his jacket on and gets the giggles. When he finally gets his jacket on, Gandalf says, 'OK. Ready now?"
PJ and various set hands (about 15 or so) are sitting or crouching in the small scale Bag End and PJ is telling them they've got what they need from this set and they're moving to the Large Scale Bag End set. PJ says, "Ok then? Good! Now let's go!" They all stand up, promptly hit their heads "hard" on the ceiling and collapse, unconcious. Even PJ!!
Now we see Frodo on Gandalf's cart going into Hobbiton saying, "Bilbo brought all the beer and wine... (should be bought, not brought, rolled his eyes and tried again). Bilbo brought all the beer and wine.. from farking hell! Then we see several of the actors right after flubs saying "Fark! Frack it! etc." The one that made us really laugh was.... ARWEN!! TO THE HOBBITS!!
Arwen has a moment at the River when she's got Frodo and has pulled her sword, "If you want him, come and claim him!".... and tries to sheath her sword but "stabs" the horse instead!
Now it's to when Gandalf pulls Sam thru the window. The shot is on Sam, looking over Gandalf's shoulder, "Were you evesdropping?" "I wasn't droppin' no eves, sir, It's just that I'm trying to get a close up of my own, if you know what I mean... (now said very fast) I mean yougotoneandMr.FrodogotoneandIjustwantachance..." At this point, Gandalf has turned and put himself over Sam to be seen in the shot, and is primping with his hair, then he says something like, "Enough, you don't get a close up!" (all while Sam was yammering) and then he
flips Sam over the table and onto the floor! OHmyGawd! Sam pops up in hysterics, and Gandalf takes up the whole shot, primping again.
Moria: Balin's tomb. They've just braced the door, Gandalf turns to the door and says, "What the Fark is this?" As he storms over to the door, and there's a single spear (you briefly see Orli, but not much of him!) leaning against the door. Gandalf picks up the spear amidst laughter, "Typical Elf work!"
On to Ornthanc (no I can't spell it). Outside in the gardens. Saruman has just told Gandalf about the orcs. G says, "Orcs? And so far from Orcland!"
Now in the mountains and the crows fly across. They all hide, someone says, "What was that?" Gandalf comes out from behind a rock and says, "They were spies! From Star Wars!"
And now for the last two! ROTK. Aragorn's been called into Theoden's tent. the Hooded Figure stands, removes his hood... it's Elrond!
in Matrix sunglasses!!!! Completely deadpan, he says, "Your Dunedain Ranger disguse dosen't fool me, Mr. Anderson."
And then, Aragorn has
the sword and says, "Sauron will not have forgotten this sword (or something close)". As he grabs the hilt, oh good lord, the look of anticipation on Elronds face... it was almost.. well...
he looked like he was waiting for a kiss!
But then, Aragorn pulls the sword out
and cuts off the tip of Elrond's nose! Then they do an instant replay.. omg! it was PRICELESS!! It was fake of course, and they didn't rig it to bleed, but it was red and omg we laughed so hard!!!
So that was the 7 minute blooper reel. I hope you enjoyed what I remembered, and could read of my notes!
