I'm baaaaack!

Yep. In good ol' Oneonta once again. Have a load of unpacking and cleaning to do before tonight's floor meeting and an all new Alias! (Yes, I'm quite excitable over the simple things :-P)

Oh, and I gotthe new Darling Violetta CD in the mail today! ^_^ Funny... I thought the $25 preorder would include more than just the CD and a signed 8x10. Hm.

Lord Of The Rings' Mortensen takes pains in good performance

Peter Jackson says he didn't realise what he thought was a particularly good bit of acting by Viggo Mortensen was actually the actor breaking his toes.

In one scene in The Two Towers, Mortensen, who plays Aragorn, comes across some burning bodies which he thinks are Hobbits.

The film's director Jackson suggested Mortensen kick one of the helmets in frustration.

"On the fifth take, Viggo kicked the helmet, screamed, clenched his fists and dropped to his knees," Jackson tells www.suntimes.com.

"I thought he was just doing some powerful acting. But then I noticed after I said 'cut' that he wasn't saying anything. Finally, he did the next scene limping."

Once they'd finished filming, Jackson made the actor take off his boot: "His toes were broken. Normally, an actor would yell 'ow' if they hurt themselves, and stop the scene.

"Viggo turned a broken toe into a performance that's a great moment in the film," he said.

Gut reactions for tonight's Alias

::fangrrly squeal::

JJ Abrams, you are my new Angst God. Joss who? :X

( SPOILERS FOR ALIAS: THE GETAWAY )

Someone explain the new trend networks have with subtitling everything... "The Lover's Mission" for "The Getaway." Angel's been doing things like "Rain of Fire" for "Apocalypse Now-ish." Blah.

possible tattoo?

looking into Elvish-type tattoos if/when I go to NZ. Really considering "47" in elvish, but the whole number system still hasn't been workout right (actually, it looks like "JLo" -_-;;) so I thought I'd spell it out. (you'll need the tengwar quenya font to view properly, thought the spaces are weird, so mentally squish them together...)
