Boromir already had 2 arrows buried deep in his chest and was in horrible pain but looked terrified, defenseless Pippin and Merry in the eyes and used all his strength to get up and keep going, already knowing that he would die and that is the most painful thing in the entire fight thanks im gonna go lay in my grave now
I bought and downloaded all 3 (three) BBC radio dramatizations of Lord of the Rings with Ian Holm as Frodo so I could listen to them at work but now
Friends
Comrades
It’s new (to me) LOTR material
I am not ready.
I am not feeling Gollum’s voice. Andy Serkis is a tough act to live up to but the narrator of the audiobook did a really good job too.
But Ian Holm as Frodo and Bill Nighy as Sam sound adorable so far.
DAVID COLLINGS AS LEGOLAS?????????? EXCUSE ME??????????????????
Yeah…I haven’t gotten to him yet. I’ll let you know how that goes. I’m having a really hard time wrapping my head around Robert Stephens as Aragorn? What.
I can’t recognize Bill Nighy’s voice at all. I’m trying to imagine his Sam voice coming out of Davey Jones’s mouth and it is just not happening. He’s the sweetest thing though.
Ian Holm sounds like himself. Like his Bilbo voice from the movies but a lot younger.
Idk, it’s easy for me to imagine Robert Stephens as Aragorn, but yeah, maybe his voice is a bit too sweet.
I wonder if Bill Nighy’s voice changed a lot. I mean, it’s hard enough to imagine him being younger than 50 anyway.
Also, I like the idea of John Le Mesurier playing Bilbo, he was very sweet in Dad’s Army.
Ian Holm is just a hobbit, that’s it
It’s hard for me to imagine the guy from My Family and Galavant as the King imo Gondor but maybe he’ll disappear into the role like Bill Nighy is going. I can’t wait to see (hear?) what David Collings does with Legolas. I’m trying to imagine him the way Legolas looks in the movie with the hair and the image is kinda hilarious.

If you find yourself in times of trouble, ask yourself, ‘what would Gandalf do’, and remember, ‘beat a man unconscious with a big stick’ is a valid answer
When I find myself in times of trouble, Gandalf Greyhame comes to me, Wailing on those assholes, With a tree (with a tree)
