have you read "the lord of the rings" novels? if so, which is your favourite book and why?

yes, both once. .

is pippin your favourite character?

book questions

describe how you imagine pippin.
my god i can't remember it was so long ago i read fotr..

film questions

how do you think pippin was portrayed in the movie?
brilliantly.

many felt pippin in the film came off as "stupid," do you agree?
i think he came across as a bit simple, but in a young child like way, not stupidity.

did you enjoy the performance of billy boyd as pippin? how so?
yes, i was disappointed there wasn't more of pippin.

favourite scene or quote?
hm i liked the part in bree where he got a pint, 'they come in pints?!! i'm getting one!'

if you've seen the movie and read the books

which scene from the books which didn't make it into the film do you miss most?
i wanted to see legolas sing, haha yeahhh that would have been fun.

was the pippin of the films accurate to the pippin you imagined?
pretty much, can't complain too much. or i could but then i'm prejudiced where my two favorite characters are concerned. why? well if i knew that it wouldn't be a prejudice, would it?

if you magically had the chance to change one thing concerning film pippin (be it action, line or trait) what would it be?
i want to know why he has a scottish accent when the rest have west country/standard english ones :)

who's another favourite character (from anywhere, not just lotr) of yours, and why?
hm, probably tom marvolo riddle from the harry potter books. he's misunderstood i won't explain more because i have a looong theory and i'll be here all day. lmao.

lse says!

har! nail on the head, yes, they did so much singing in fotr. walk, walk, walk, let's sit and sing! walk, walk, walk, let's sit and sing! singing is all good and fine, but really, there is such a thing as excess. as to pippin's scottish accent... erm... he has one in the films because he is... special. ho ho! no, i believe they discussed it on one of the behind the scenes dvds. i think it has something to do with his being a took, which is a special sort of hobbit family, but i really don't know.
feel free to analyze tom here, i don't mind!
