Bree Screencaps ~ The Ring Calls....

[mechtild]

Cont'd. from the previous entry....


Note: once again I brightened and sharpened these images.

Here is an unretouched frame from the sequence:










Frodo has begun to fiddle with the Ring, the camera watching his hands turn it about in close-up. The voice of the Ring begins to be heard, whispering, "Baggins, Baggins...."

At first Frodo relaxes at the sound of it, as if falling into a trance....




















The camera moves closer. His face has begun to sweat:




















Tension begins to show, as if Frodo is sensing and feeling something less than pleasant.

Suddenly, over the top of the chant-like whispering of his name, Pippin's voice is heard calling out, "Baggins" -- the name which was not to be uttered outside of the Shire.

In extreme close-up, Frodo winces. The sound seems to recall him, dragging him back to consciousness:

Oh! Thank you sweetie, you are always so lovely. I always enjoy to be here.
I watched the DVD's (missed the movies at the theatre) I can't count how much and I will never get rid of them. never. I'm addicted to the books for about almost 30 years and I'm still reading them. And the movies are incredible. When I saw the Fellowship first I was near a heart attack - Frodo got a face, and isn't Elijah THE perfect Frodo?

I came here last February and I missed a lot too. looking here and there and there is so much to discover, it's amazing. I could spent the rest of my life here ... in middle earth ... with all the wonderful people around.

Thank you honey for being my friend! Hope to see you soon ((((hugs))))

You only came into the internet Tolkien fandom last February? You are right, you did miss a lot. But, in a way, because you were not here during the "hey-day", it can't seem as quiet and wound-down as it does to people who were here from the beginning of the film FRENZY. (Before FotR ever came out.) People who were deeply into the fan messageboards during those wild and glorious first two years tend to feel all fandomed-out at this point. Most of the ones I got to know when I first started visiting the Tolkien sites in the winter of 2002-03 no longer frequent the various fansites. I am not surprised, really, but I was sorry so many fell away. I felt I had just got there!

But I don't despair. In the months I've been on LJ (I only even heard rumours of its existence a year and a half ago), I can see that there still is and will be a little group left to gather around the fire, warming their hands and hearts (and libidos, if that is their bent) over tales of Frodo and the Ring, and the rest of the Tolkien creation.

"I can see that there still is and will be a little group left to gather around the fire, warming their hands and hearts (and libidos, if that is their bent) over tales of Frodo and the Ring, and the rest of the Tolkien creation."

That's true. I started - a few weeks ago - walking through the journals of some of my friends ... from their very first beginning. It's a wonderful journey ...so much hobbit love still now ... but it's true - as you said - the Frodo fictions have become more and more less *sigh* ... for me - as I said - they will be always in my heart. They still are since ages.

I will continue my journey through my friends archive jounals tomorrow - and YOU will be the next on my list. I'm so curious and so looking forward to it. *big hobbit hugs for you*

Well, if you go back through my journal, Julchen, you won't have to go back too far. I started on LJ last summer. I came from the world of Tolkien messageboards (TORc, which is Tolkien Online and K-D, which is Khazad-dum). But when I saw how the members were dropping away and going off into the land of LJ, I felt the need to follow, lest I lose all touch.

My journal is solidly Frodo-centric, although there are a few personal posts and posts about Brokeback Mountain. There are some cap series from two other Elijah Wood films, as I've probably mentioned, but just because they help me imagine his film-Frodo at a younger age.

Otherwise there are links to my unfinished fanfic (still toiling along) and my Frodo Art Travesty manips and the screencaps.

"My journal is solidly Frodo-centric"
That's what I wanted to hear, LOL! It sounds wonderful, I will enjoy my journey, I know it already and you will see me now and then. Promised.
(I can't keep my comments back, NEVER!) *hugs you*

Can you believe it? The reply notice for your comment just popped up tonight, even though it is dated April 10, exactly a month ago today. Isn't that odd?

P.S. Is your icon from the film EW has been shooting recently in which he is a soldier?

[julchen11.livejournal.com]

yes dear, it's very new. Nice, isn't it?

For a bald man, he looks good. But I cannot help pining for the loss of his lovely, thick, shiny, healthy hair.

Oh yes, he has wonderful hair and it will luckily grow again ... as you say lovely, thick, shiny, healthy and dark. Hope you are as well as I am my dear *hugs you*
