Viggo Mortensen on the daily show |
|
Was I the only one laughing way too hard as he pulled the reptiles out of the coffee mug? I guess I'm just that pathetic.
I was kinda disappointed though, that the discussion didn't get political after Viggo's statements on bushco recently, but I guess the entire interview was more of his out of the limelight style. Would have been interesting to see him and Jon go to town though - too bad.

A couple moments of :wtf: followed by "brilliant". He's pretty amazing in a very quiet and reserved sort of way. I only have a couple actor-crushes, and he is one of them :) Smart, funny, political. Good stuff.

2. I was hoping to see some Bush bashing too |
|
The most interesting thing about the interview was finding out Steven Colbert is a HUGE LotR fan. Sounds like he memorized "The Silmarillion". I always did like that guy. :)

3. I didn't quite understand that... |
|
Is that some sort of strange LOTR reference? (I only got about a half hour through the first one).

4. "The Silmarillion" is the deep background of the LOTR trilogy |

Compiled from Professor Tolkien's writings, notes, outlines, etc. after his death by his son, Christopher Tolkien.
A completely different kind of read, but quite familiar to Ringnuts. :)
It starts with the creation myth of Middle-Earth, so it's very very deep background, but includes much detail about characters and incidents only touched on in the trilogy.
You can pick it up and read a single chapter and drop the book for a while. It's definitely non-linear.
Edit: ooops...response in wrong place.
