What's their best line? What's their worst line? - Page 5 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 11-07-2002, 06:42 AM

Oh lord Boromir has so many excellent lines. "They have a cave troll!" is so damn funny! And his dying words were phenomenal. But my favourite is"What is this new devilry?"And the worst one is that "Gondor needs no King" one. Not for delivery, just shouldn't have been used.

LadyElbereth · 11-07-2002, 08:10 AM

Boromir's Best: "They have a cave troll!"Boromir's Worst: "And what would a ranger know of this matter?"

Jeli Baggins · 11-11-2002, 01:06 PM

Boromir's best lines: 1) "You carry the fate of us all little one. If this is indeed the will of the council, then Gondor will see it done." 2) "It is a strange fate that we should suffer so much fear and doubt, over so small a thing.... such a little thing." 3) "I would have followed you, my brother. My captain. My king." Boromir's worst lines: 1) "We make for the Gap of Rohan. We should never have come here! Now get out of here! Get out!!" (that line was kinda scary!)

Pookabunny · 11-13-2002, 04:17 PM

Boromir: Best: 1) I would have followed you to the end - my brother...my captain...my KING. 2) It is a strange fate that we should suffer so much fear and doubt over so small a thing... Such a little thing. 3)Have you ever seen it, Aragorn? The White Tower of Ecthelion glimmering like a spike of pearl and silver, its banners caught high in the morning breeze? Have you ever been called home by the clear ringing of silver trumpets?Worst: 1)Gondor has no king. Gondor needs no king - I agree that Mr. Bean delievered this line well, but the line was terse. 2) Still Sharp - yea this is a tribute to an old show Sean Bean did (character's name was Sharpe), and he adds anything "sharp" into his lines (I know, it's scripted). 3) It could have been mine. It should be mine! Give it to me! - I know, this line is essential to Boromir's downfall to the power of the ring...blah blah blah..but dammit it still ****es me off...

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 11-14-2002, 06:51 AM

I want to change my vote. I did say "What is this new devilry?" but I just remembered an altogether better part."One does not simply walk into Mordor. Its Black Gates are guarded by more than just Orcs. There is evil there that DOES NOT SLEEP! And the Great Eye is ever watchful. It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire, and ash, and dust. Not with ten thousand Men could you do this. It is folly!"That's not really one line but whatever. It rules.

Túroch · 11-14-2002, 05:20 PM

Ah ha you guys have finally gotten round to my favortie character. So here goes: Best: 1:It's moving fast and against the wind 2:This isn't a mine it's a tomb 3:Oh they have a cave troll (he says it in such an offhand matter as if a cave troll was no biggie) 4:Forgive me I did not see. I have failed you all. Leave it. It is over. The world of men will fall and all will come to darkness, and my city to ruin. (These are the most emotional words in the whole movie, I tear up every time I watch that scene.)Worst: 1:What would a mere ranger know of these matters. (I don't know, this is about the only bad line I could find for him.)

Diamond18 · 11-14-2002, 05:44 PM

I don't really want to change my vote, but I wanted to mention one of his lines from the Extended Version:"You carry a great burden, Frodo. Do not carry the weight of the dead."Grr, I can't remember how it began, but that's how the line finished.

Melichus · 11-14-2002, 10:28 PM

I nominate these two:1. Forgive me--I did not see. I have failed you all. Leave it, it is over...the world of men will fall and all will come to darkness... And my city to ruin.2. I only ask for the strength to defend my people! (For the sheer passion that it is delivered with) ALL of Sean Bean's lines were excellent; he did one of the finest jobs I have seen in any recent movie, and he surely deserved at least an Academy Award nomination, perhaps the Award itself. Even lines that were terribly awkward or screamed, "This is what's going on right now, all you newbies" were delivered gracefully and passionately. He put enormous effort into understanding Boromir's character and this easily shows through in his performance, even when some of the lines or actions provided by the script seem out of Boromir's character. A shame that we will see no more of Sean in these movies...[ November 15, 2002: Message edited by: Melichus ]

Beruthiel · 11-14-2002, 11:43 PM

I though most of Boromirs lines were pretty good his dying speech and when he was describing minas tirith were SO brilliant, i cry every time i see the bit when he dies I think his worst lines were after moria and aragorn wants them to get up, I can't remember what he says exactly but I thought it was kinda weird, but i think legolas got the worst lines of any of them.

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 11-15-2002, 08:36 AM

Did you just say you didn't like the following line?"Give them a moment for pity's sake!"Wow, that is just one more awesome line for Boromir. This could be the closest one yet.

Diamond18 · 11-15-2002, 01:44 PM

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> A shame that we will see no more of Sean in these movies... <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>Actually I think he's in TTT, because they have flashbacks.

Pookabunny · 11-15-2002, 04:12 PM

All good ones...How about we do SARUMAN next? Or are we just sticking to the Fellowship members?

TealDude3 · 11-15-2002, 06:24 PM

Saruman is good.Saruman's best line: "The Nine have left Minis Morgol. They crossed the river Isen on midsummer's eve. They will find the ring, and kill the one who carries it."

Durelin · 11-15-2002, 07:11 PM

Legolas's best line was: "Orcs!" heheNI!

Pookabunny · 11-15-2002, 07:23 PM

Saruman's Best: 1) "your love of the halfling's leaf has clearly slowed your mind" 2) "We have work to do" 3) "You know what they awoke in the darkness of Khazad- Dum; Shadow and flame." WORST 1) "So, you have chosen death" - Please, like you could take out Gandalf. Dude's ridin on Gwaihir and Shadowfax! PLEASE.

Durelin · 11-15-2002, 07:33 PM

I also liked "Goblins!" But, "A dwarf breaths so loud we could have shot him in the dark."--Haldir is better.

Diamond18 · 11-15-2002, 11:58 PM

Gaaaaaasp! I'm shocked! We're supposed to be good little Downers and wait for Firondoel to post results. I'm not having any part of this scandalous behavior.

Durelin · 11-16-2002, 08:53 AM

What? Who said anything about "results?" I just was casting my vote! Sorry if I missed something!

TolkienGurl · 11-16-2002, 10:31 AM

Best of Gimli: "I asked for one hair off her golden head, and she gave me three." *Awwwwwwww*Best of Legolas: "...a balrog of Morgoth." The way he says it is really cool!

11-16-2002, 02:01 PM

Sam's best: "Don't you lose him, Samwise Gamgee. And I don't mean to, sir. I don't mean to." Worst: "What're ya doin'? Those wraiths are still out there!"[ November 16, 2002: Message edited by: MagicPants ]

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 11-16-2002, 03:40 PM

Um....hold on guys. There is only one Downer allowed to change the topic of debate on this thread.Lets wait hey?

Pookabunny · 11-16-2002, 04:59 PM

So we're still on Saruman, right?

Mintyztwin · 11-16-2002, 05:44 PM

H'actually, I believe we're still on Boromir. Help! Firondoel! Quick! This thread is descending into mass chaos and maddness! Oh. Wait . . . never mind!!! I think it IS time to change people though, hinto hinto . . .

Firondoiel · 11-16-2002, 07:26 PM

I’m SOOOO sorry guys!! I’m REALLY late!! Results for Boromir…Best: Our people. Our people. I would have followed you, my brother. My captain. My king.Worst: Gondor has no king, Gondor needs no king.Lets just go ahead and do Saruman. I'm not sure about my opinion for him. I'm going to have to go skim over the script. Once again I'm really sorry about being so late.

Mintyztwin · 11-16-2002, 09:34 PM

Piffle. Once again, my choices were not the choice of the people. I get the impression that I shouldn't run for president any time soon! Okaaaaaay. Saruman . . .riiiight. Best line: When he's yelling at the mountain, 'cause it's elvish!! Even though, he wasn't really powerful, and it was really the mountain, blah blah blah. Poor Mr. Lee was forced to do it, but it's still elvish! Other best lines: The whole thing about (which I can only remember the last part of) "And Gandalf the Grey rides to Isengard." His voice there! Wowzer!!!! Oh! And the part about "tear them all down!" heh hhe. "Tha' was good." (To quote Pippin!) Worst line: You have chosen the way of PAIN!!! Brrr. Scary.

11-16-2002, 10:46 PM

I'm sorry I know u r way past Merry but he has THE BEST line in the WHOLE movie and i don't think any1 mentioned. When he says BUCKLEBERRY FERRY! OMG I LOVE THAT LINE.

Rose Cotton · 11-17-2002, 07:06 AM

I know we're done with Boromir but I just want to say a couple of things on him.I agree that Sean Bean did an excellent job and all his lines are wonderfull.Also just to keep in the back of your mind: <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>It is a strange fate that we should suffer so much fear and doubt over so small a thing... Such a little thing. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>Sean Bean is terrified of riding in helicopters and through that entire scene he was thinking about the return trip in the helicopter. He's such a great actor.

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 11-17-2002, 07:20 AM

Worst line: "You have elected the way of PAIN!"Best line: The Nine have left Minas Morgul. They will find the Ring, and kill the one who carries it."

LadyElbereth · 11-17-2002, 07:46 AM

Saruman's Best: "Moria..."(The way he says it is so cool, I don't remember the rest though. lol)Saruman's Worst: (I can't remember all of his lines, I'm going to have to come back to you on that one.)

Arathiriel · 11-17-2002, 11:31 AM

Now that I have watched the extended version of LOTR I have to say the worst line in the movie was spoken by Elrond:Nine companions. So be it. You shall be The Fellowship of the Ring!Now tell me honestly, didn't you just cringe when he said that?At the moment I cannot pinpoint one specific line as the best because there were several I loved! In all honesty it was easy to pinpoint a worst line for the movie![ November 17, 2002: Message edited by: Arathiriel ]

Mintyztwin · 11-17-2002, 02:42 PM

Oh my gosh! Poor Sean! I didn't know that Rose! Poor guy. What excellent acting!!! I have a whole new respect for the man!

Lady_Báin · 11-18-2002, 07:05 AM

best: "and gandalf returns to isengard...something something" -or- "your love of the halflings leaf has clouded something something" sorry i can't rememberworst "you have chosen the way of pain"-or- that junk he yells "at" the mountain cause it wasn't even him!!

Helkasir · 11-18-2002, 12:49 PM

Best: 1.) "now perfected... my fighting uruk hai!"-It's really cool. 2.) "...there are none who can."Worst: 1.) "rip them all down." -This line had absolutely no point. it didn't fit with the text. He should have said something like "Do I care?" before he said that line.

Túroch · 11-18-2002, 12:59 PM

I agree Saruman's best line has to be "Smoke rises from mountain of fire and Gandolf the Grey rides to Isengaurd seeking my council, for that is why you have come my old friend. A line that sort of stuck out is "I have seen it". Just the way he says it sounds odd.

Beruthiel · 11-19-2002, 12:10 AM

I thought Saruman's best line was: The nine have left Minas Morgul something and kill the ones who carries that ring or something. I can't remember the whole thing.worst line..... You have elected the way of Pain! It wasn't so much the words but how he said it, it was kinda weird

Diamond18 · 11-20-2002, 11:18 AM

Saruman's Best: "The Nine have left Minas Morgul. They will find the Ring, and kill the one who carries it." I just love the way he says "Minas Morgul". I hope they do a good job on that in TTT or RotK, whichever movie it comes in.Saruman's Worst: "You know of what I speak, Gandalf, an Eye wreathed in flame." While that line is good in itself, I don't think that Gandalf ever actually saw the Eye in the book.

Pookabunny · 11-21-2002, 09:28 PM

Anything said by Christopher Lee is solid gold. He could bust out with "Kicking donkeys" and make it sound cool...Saruman's lines certainly are the most memorable.

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 11-22-2002, 10:31 AM

Chris Lee could probably have said "My name is Saruman and I am a white wizard and I have turned bad Gandalf, BAD!" and still made it sound good.He is a phenomenal actor.

Firondoiel · 11-22-2002, 04:48 PM

My vote for Saruman...Best: Smoke rises from the mountain of Doom, the hour grows late and Gandalf the Gray rides to Isengard seeking my council.Worst: Do you know how the orcs first came in to being?That line just kind of seems wierd to me. I'll give the voting another day and post the results tomorrow.[ November 22, 2002: Message edited by: Firondoiel ]

Jeli Baggins · 11-24-2002, 01:26 PM

Saruman's bestest lines: 1)"Yet you did not have the wits to see it. Your love of the Halflings' leaf has clearly slowed your mind." 2)"They will find the ring, and kill the one that carries it."Saruman's worstest lines: 1)"So you have chosen death."

I'm going to have to go skim over the script. Once again I'm really sorry about being so late. __________________ "Forth, and fear no darkness. Arise. Arise, Riders of Théoden.

I get the impression that I shouldn't run for president any time soon! <P>Okaaaaaay. Saruman . . .riiiight. Best line: When he's yelling at the mountain, 'cause it's elvish!! Even though, he wasn't really powerful, and it was really the mountain, blah blah blah. Poor Mr. Lee was forced to do it, but it's still elvish!<BR>Other best lines: The whole thing about (which I can only remember the last part of) "And Gandalf the Grey rides to Isengard." His voice there! Wowzer!!!!<BR>Oh! And the part about "tear them all down!" heh hhe. "Tha' was good." (To quote Pippin!) <P>Worst line: You have chosen the way of PAIN!!! Brrr. Scary. __________________ So, where are we going? But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance, and gentleness. 1 Timothy 6:2

Such a little thing.<BR> <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Sean Bean is terrified of riding in helicopters and through that entire scene he was thinking about the return trip in the helicopter. He's such a great actor. __________________ "There's nothing you can do, Harry... nothing... he's gone."-Remus Lupin "The closer we are to danger, the further we are from harm."-Pippin (now how can you argue with that logic?)

So be it. You shall be The Fellowship of the Ring!</I><P>Now tell me honestly, didn't you just cringe when he said that?<P>At the moment I cannot pinpoint one specific line as the best because there were several I loved! In all honesty it was <B>easy</B> to pinpoint a <B>worst</B> line for the movie!<p>[ November 17, 2002: Message edited by: Arathiriel ] __________________ 'I love him.

"...there are none who can."<P>Worst:<BR>1.) "rip them all down." -This line had absolutely no point. it didn't fit with the text. He should have said something like "Do I care?" before he said that line. __________________ "Onen i-Estal Edain, u-chebin estel anim."

Túroch Wight Join Date: Nov 2002 Location: Oklahoma State University Posts: 102	I agree Saruman's best line has to be "Smoke rises from mountain of fire and Gandolf the Grey rides to Isengaurd seeking my council, for that is why you have come my old friend. <P>A line that sort of stuck out is "I have seen it". Just the way he says it sounds odd. __________________ For the valour of the Edain the Elves shall ever remember as the ages lengthen, marvelling that they gave life so freely of which thay had on earth so little.

Beruthiel Shade of Carn Dûm Join Date: Nov 2002 Location: Set adrift on the Great Sea Posts: 373	I thought Saruman's best line was: The nine have left Minas Morgul something and kill the ones who carries that ring or something. I can't remember the whole thing.<P>worst line..... You have elected the way of Pain!<BR>It wasn't so much the words but how he said it, it was kinda weird __________________ ~I am not young enough to know everything~ Oscar Wilde
