Ladies, ya'lls taste in men is *flawless*! Wow! I've seen this movie three times now and Mr. Mortenson is a major reason. Not only was he totally HOT, but he gave a graceful, powerful, honest performance. And Aragorn is a terrific character anyway-- loner, brooding, tough, heroic, humble, brave, unselfish. *sigh* I esp. adored the sceen where right after Boromir tries to take Frodo's ring, and Frodo's all spooked thinking Strider's gonna take it too, and Strider, like the Knight that he is, goes on one knee and rasps, "I would have followed you into the very fires of Mordor" and closes Frodo's hand gently around the ring. WOW! He seered the screen in that one, and in the sceen where he and Boromir reconcile and he gives him a kiss of peace. *bonding* It was wonderful.
My favorite serious line. "All races are bound to this fate, this one doom. You will unite, or you will fall."
Favorite funny line. "It comes in PINTS??"
Favorite Strider line "Let's hunt some orc."
Okay, shutting up now. Just had to gush and compliment ya'll on yer taste.
Off to finish reading the trilogy,

You don't have to be Henry Kissenger to figure out that a more prosperous world is a more secure world; a more educated world is a more tolerant world; and a more healthy world is a more stable world, and I think that would be a fitting memorial to those who lost their lives on Sept. 11th. ~Bono on Leno, Thanksgiving 2001
