Nearly six years since FOTR first came out, but you can keep the movie alive by bringing it's dialogue into your every day life.

FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING.


Galadriel: The world is changed. Speaks for itself. Unfortunately, all too true.

Galadriel: I feel it in the water. Telling your doctor you think you have a bladder infection

Galadriel: I smell it in the air. Accusations against husband, child or dog.

Galadriel: Much that once was is lost. For none now live who remember it. Speaking of men before marriage

Frodo: You're late! Can be used in all number of circumstances and directed at the majority of humans, especially men

Frodo: He is up to something. When talking to friends about partner/husband

Bilbo: No thank you! We don't want any more visitors, well-wishers or distant relations! Useful on a Sunday morning when you’re having a lie-in

Gandalf: You haven’t aged a day. Lying to old schoofriend

Bilbo: Come on, come in! Welcome, welcome! Should man from Littlewoods (Football Pools) or the Lottery call

Bilbo:! Not that it matters, you come and go as you please. Always have done and always will. More husband material

Bilbo: You caught me a bit unprepared, I'm afraid. We have some cold chicken and pickles... Here's some cheese here- oh no it won't do. There we got raspberry jam and apple tart... Not much for afterlunch - oh no! We're all right. I have some cake. I can make you some eggs if you like - Should Vanessa Feltz or Rik Waller call in unexpectedly

Bilbo: I'm not at home! Instructions to child when debt collector/milkman etc. at door

Bilbo: I need a holiday, a very long holiday, Any working mum

Sam: I think I’ll just have another beer. Husband on night out

Frodo: Oh no you don’t. Wife’s response

Merry: No, the big one, the big one! Instruction to husband when he's at the Adult Toy Drawer.

Pippin: It was your idea! Any time you are trying to escape blame.

Frodo: Watch out for the dragon. Advice for friend visiting partners mother, or meeting her for the first time.

Bilbo: I, uh, I h-have things to do. I’ve put this off for far too long. Those of us who spend too long on the PC or watching DVDs

Gandalf: I suppose you think that was terribly clever. On the numerous occasions when husband does something that's actually terribly stupid.

Bilbo: It’s in an envelope over there on the mantelpiece. Money for the milkman, key for neighbour when going on holiday etc. etc.

Bilbo:. Heh, isn’t that, isn’t that odd though? Thinking kids just might have done the dishes whilst you’re out

Gandalf: There’s no need to get angry. Husband tries to pacify you

Bilbo: Well if I’m angry, it’s your fault! Your response

Gandalf: I think you’ve had that Ring quite long enough. Husband/Wife hinting at divorce

Gandalf: Until our next meeting. If you are a company director

Gandalf: My precious… Precious… Husband when he’s after something!

Frodo: He's gone hasn't he? He talked for so long about leaving. I didn't think he'd really do it. Coming home to find husband’s wardrobe empty.

Gandalf: Questions. Questions that need answering! You finally get on “Who Wants to be a Millionaire" - or you refuse to let husband move until he tells you where he's been etc.
 
Gandalf:. Keep it secret. Keep it safe. You’ve bought your married lover an expensive present

Gandalf: You must leave and leave quickly. Oops. Husband has come home unexpectedly.

Gandalf: Travel only by day. And stay off the road. Advice for travellers to Moss Side.

Gandalf:.We do not know who else may be watching! Make sure you and your partner are discreet when outside

Saruman: The hour is later than you think.. Time to pack the kids off to bed

Saruman: I gave you the chance of aiding me willingly. But you...have elected...the way of pain! Kids have refused to help with the chores

Sam: I thought I’d lost you. Will be used countless times to toddlers who disappear in shops. Can also be used by you or partner after major row.

Sam: Get off him! To partner’s secretary when you pay surprise visit to the office.

Pippin: What's the meaning of this? Kids have Latin homework again

Merry: ‘Dunno why he is so upset. It’s only a couple of carrots! Male infant has tantrum when forced to eat vegetables

Merry: My point is, he is clearly overreacting. Complaining about partner’s reaction to latest credit card/phone bill.

Pippin: Ohh! That was close An alternative to “Husband has come home unexpectedly". See above

Frodo: I think we should get off the road. Not the best place to stand and chat

Frodo: Get off the road! Quick! When no-one has taken notice of suggestion as above

Pippin: What is going on? Discovered with lover!

Pippin: Get down! Dog is on the couch again

Pippin: It comes in pints. You have a cheapskate mate who only ever buys you a half.

Sam: That fellow’s done nothin’ but stare at you since we arrived. You’re out with an attractive friend

Frodo: (stops Barliman as he walks by) Excuse me, that man in the corner, who is he? You’ve seen someone you fancy

Butterbur: He’s one of them rangers. You’ve spotted a footballer whilst in Glasgow.

Voice of Sauron: You cannot hide! I see you! There is no life in the void…only death… The kids have upset you

Strider: You draw far too much attention to yourself You don’t like your teenage daughter’s clothes

Strider: Are you frightened? To be used in conjunction with…..

Strider: Not nearly frightened enough. Kids have been misbehaving again

Pippin: What about breakfast? Hoping he might stay a bit longer.

Frodo: What are you doing?! Hopefully his response…...

Merry: Tomatoes, sausages, nice crispy bacon. … and then yours

Saruman: We have work to do! No you can’t go on the Internet/Play Station/watch TV etc.

Sam: Back you devils! You’ve just arrived home with the weekly shop.
 
Strider: He’s passing into the shadow world. Partner has had a heavy night out with the boys

Arwen: What’s this? A ranger caught off his guard? Useful if you are playing football in Scotland and wish to taunt a defender after you’ve scored a goal.

Strider: The road is too dangerous During a meeting on road safety in your neighbourhood

Pippin: What are they saying? Any parent listening to kidspeak

Arwen: If you want him, come and claim him! Standing up to your love rival

Elrond: Men? Men are weak. Self explanatory and don't we all say it all the time??.

Elrond: Cast it into the fire! Cold night on a camping trip

Boromir: It's still sharp! You find an old knife at the back of the kitchen drawer

Aragorn: The same blood flows in my veins. Introducing yourself to any friend of an immediate family member

Arwen: Do you remember when we first met? Shortly to be followed by “Well you’ve changed…..”

Arwen: I would rather share one lifetime with you than face all the ages of this world alone. If you’re a man, this could well work if trying to impress. Probably if you're a woman too, as men are gullible......

Gimli: What are we waiting for? Everyone else is in the car waiting to go….but there’s always one.

Elrond: One of you must do this. The rubbish needs to go out......

Frodo: I will take it! I will take it! .... you’ve offered money to whoever volunteers

Boromir:. There is evil there that does not sleep. And the great Eye is ever watchful. Discussing the in-laws.

Frodo: I do not know the way. Someone’s asked you for a lift, and you really don’t want to go out NB: This is unlikely to ever be useful for a man to say...it's not something they admit to.

Frodo: It’s so light! Compliment a friend’s baking

Aragorn: Move your feet. You’re doing the vacuuming whilst partner is sitting down.

Gimli: If anyone was to ask for my opinion, which I note they’re not Any family discussion

Sam: What is that? Partner has attempted to cook a meal

Boromir: It is a strange fate we should suffer so much fear and doubt over so small a thing… Such a little thing. You’re insecure and can’t resist the chance to make husband equally so.

Boromir: As you wish. I care not. Partner is off for a night out with the boys/girls. Or has told you they’re leaving you.

Saruman:! May your horn be bloodstained! Best left to the imagination!

Gimli: If we cannot pass over a mountain, let us go under it. You’re on holiday in the mountains and the high pass is closed for roadworks, but there’s a tunnel .

Merry: What do you suppose that means? You’re telling a friend about latest row with partner, who stormed out with “You’ll be sorry”.

Sam: Buh-bye Bill You’ve finally paid off the credit card.

Aragorn: Go on, Bill, go on. Don’t worry Sam, he knows the way home. Probably only useful if you happen to be out with Bill and Sam.

Aragorn: Do not disturb the water. You just bought piranha for the garden fishpond

Gandalf: Oh, it’s useless! Discussing marriage (or husband)

Boromir: Now get out, get out! Yep another domestic....

Gandalf: I have no memory of this place Feigned amnesia in the kitchen when you're heartily sick of cooking

Pippin: Are we lost? Driving somewhere with a man who as usual refuses to ask directions

Pippin: I think we are. Continuation of above.

Pippin: I’m hungry. Can be used any time, anywhere.

Frodo: I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened. You wish you’d listened to your mother.

Gandalf:. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. Husband has gone away on a business trip and you intend to enjoy it

Gandalf: Let me risk a little more light. You’re short of money for the electric meter

Sam: Now there’s an eye opener, and no mistake. Office gossip

Legolas: We must move on, we cannot linger! Partner does not share your pleasure in retail therapy

Gandalf: We cannot get out…They are coming Unwelcome visitors have seen you through the window

Boromir: They have a cave-troll. Doubtful that you could realistically bring this into a conversation, but who cares. It’s one of the best lines in the film.

Sam: I think I’m getting the hang of this. For the first time, you’ve managed not to hit something during your driving lesson. Or can be used whatever else you're learning.

Gimli: Nobody tosses a dwarf. Vertically challenged person complaining about his/her sex life.

Gimli: Not the beard! Barber is razor-happy

Gandalf: YOU….SHALL NOT...PASS!! Child not studying hard enough for exams

Gandalf: Fly you fools! Trying to convince someone that’s going by sea takes too long
 
Livvie, you should keep it alive by resurrecting the "Caf as LoTR characters" threads.

I've already forgotten who I was.

I'm sure you were Arwen, chuck.

And if I remember rightly, you tried to claim just about every bit of manflesh for yourself.

It's in the classic threads btw.

:lol:

That's only because I could never remember if I was Arwen or Eowyn so kept flitting between Aragorn and Faramir.

I'm glad I wasn't Eowyn tho...fancying your own brother? :nono:
 
Who was I? For some reason I think I was a Hobbit, but that is not possible, because since the exit of the Danish one, I'm now probably the tallest normal Caf member.

Should not have used that last word. :nervous:

Weaste, you were indeed a hobbit. But they do wonders with CGI. This is how it was left - there were still parts to cast. That's why it never got to be filmed I guess.

Right then folks....we're getting there.

Some slight changes to the cast tho.

Due to other commitments, Softie is not able to be Saruman, and due to lack of response, I've fired Van.Nist. The new Saruman is DJS, which means Marching has to be Gandalf.

FRODO BAGGINS - Niall

GANDALF THE GREY - Marching On Together

SAM GANGEE - Weaste Devil

MERRY BRANDYBUCK - Linaw50. (Putting a Christmas slant on it and casting a woman here. Could either make or break the project).

PIPPIN TOOK - Yaps

BOROMIR - RedPaul

GIMLI - Spinoza

SAURON - Davo

ELROND - Honest John

ARWEN EVENSTAR - GiggsysGirl

CELEBORN - Alex_Hurley

GALADRIEL - Elizabeth

EOWYN - RoD

FARAMIR - Nate

GOLLUM - Big_Andy1

TOM BOMBADIL - Plech.

LEADER OF THE NAZGUL - Kristjan

GRISHNAKH - Gillespie

UGLUK - JoPub

BILBO BAGGINS - Ed the Red

SARUMAN - DJS

Parts still to be cast:

(Keane16 has expressed a desire to be Aragorn, but I expect a tad more class for this important character than "I know dick all about Lord of the Rings, but I put myself forward as whatever character gives it to Liv Tyler". So he needs to present himself a bit better than that to be in with a chance).

ARAGORN
LEGOLAS (Still looking for a goodlooking bloke....)
WORMTONGUE
EOMER
DENETHOR
THEODEN

Filming starts next weekend on location in the Isle of Wight.
 
On second thoughts I don't want to be killed by RoD.Maybe I'll just write an alternate ending for myself where I reign over Minas Morgul and the lands beyond till eternity.I'll have Arwen too, please.
 
Should we start auditions again - half the cast don't post here any more.

The Hobbit will be made in two films apparently to be released in 2010 and 2011. Peter Jackson will not be writing or directing the films but will be the producer after settling his differences with New LineCinema.

Apologies if you already knew this
