That's one thing I have to say I dread: a Legolas cameo. Sooooo pandery, since he has nothing to do with the story (or even in the "bridge" period the second movie is supposed to cover—unless that's when he discovers how to put blond highlights in blond hair).
“There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.”

I've always thought they might give him Bard's part and have him kill the dragon. We know Thranduil sent some Elves to Laketown when Bilbo got there, so it's not THAT much of the stretch, and of course Dale doesn't have anything to do with LOTR movie.Primula Baggins wrote:That's one thing I have to say I dread: a Legolas cameo.

If there was anything that depressed him more than his own cynicism, it was that quite often it still wasn't as cynical as real life.

Yeah, he could get drunk, then as the dwarves disappear down the trapdoor, he could say "Man I really need to learn to handle my drink" and then wink right at the camera.Holbytla wrote:Well having him as the drunken guard would make a perfect connection to the drinking game. Oh wait.
Actually, I've said it before, "The Hobbit" exactly as written would make a fab Pantomime.

If your CB antenna is a danger to low-flying eagles, you might be a redneck elf;
If you have a painting of Taur-nu-Fuin on black velvet, you might be a redneck elf;
If you can't take a bubblebath because beer is iced down in your tub, you might be a redneck elf...

Well, that's all I'll be thinking from now on!
