Lord of the Rings Humour: Parodies, Satires and More [3]

Statements peejers was supposed to have said, all via IMDB

" [on The Lord of the Rings:] "This is a giant undertaking, but I consider this a personal film. It's my film of a lifetime. I read the book when I was 18 years old and thought then, 'I can't wait till the movie comes out.' Twenty years later, no one had done it - so I got impatient."
'Return of the King' is the most enjoyable because in the structure of the movies, it is nothing other than pay-off, there is no more setting up to do, no more exposition, no more introducing characters. The pay-off is very character-based. It is action-orientated as well, but all of our characters have been pushed to a point where their life and death depends on what happens in the third movie. It is very emotional, and from an actors point of view it is very enjoyable to work on, because they were able to play some pretty intense drama. From my point of view it was always great, because we were heading toward an ending, a climax which we never had in the other two.
On making "The Lord of the Rings": "Looking back, I think we were a bit naive. At the beginning I don't think anybody had any idea how difficult or complicated it would be. We somehow went into it thinking we could do it. And then we've stumbled along just taking each day at a time."
To get an Oscar would be an incredible moment in my career, there is no doubt about that. But the 'Lord of the Rings' films are not made for Oscars, they are made for the audience.
We made a promise to ourselves at the beginning of the process that we weren't going to put any of our own politics, our own messages or our own themes into these movies. What we were trying to do was to analyze what was important to Tolkien and to try to honor that. In a way, we were trying to make these films for him, not for ourselves.
[on filming the J.R.R. Tolkien fantasies] I am a lifelong Buster Keaton fan. I am not saying I am approaching his genius, but we are able to make things exciting and provide bits of visual humour as we do."

Just as Gandalfs 'every good tale deserves embellishment' in TH is too.
Though they really were taking the piss there as the line should have been 'every good tale can be utterly ruined by careless embellishment.'

True. The "embellishment" line was way more blatant though, I think.

thats actually quite good

the Thrandy one is great, thats so him.

God yeah ! Can you imagine it ? Be a laugh if nothing else. Look at what they did to a Christmas Carol by Dickens

Miss Piggy for Galadriel.. or maybe The Mouth of Sauron...

Oh she'd have to be Arwen, & Kermit would be Aragorn, & if he didnt do as she wanted he'd get a karate chop !
