guest questions

do you think pippin was tolkien's favorite character? why or why not?
maybe one of them. i think it was because, tolkien valued friendship above many other things and pippin and merry's friendship- to me- is even stronger than frodo's with sam. the two are so precious to each other and hold one another more dear than anything else.

if you could say anything to billy about his performance, what would you say?
there is way too many things to list...

do you consider pippin a hero?
in a way, yes. he matured so much during the books, and movie and ended up saving faramir and helping out a friend. he did so much without exactly knowing what depth he was doing in with.

lse says!

hooray! i know your hooray! good luck getting through the books. i've always felt fotr is the slowest, ttt picks up and rotk just flies! keep going!
sorry about the scrolling. i have a problem with small text windows. i am, a bad person. sniff.
very interesting, you are the only person who said pippin's short role in ttt was for the better. why do you think? i sort of agree. i love darling pippin and boyd is fab to watch, but the scenes which were cut were rather ridiculous.
smile!
