Quote of the Day

From the Fringedwellers' commentary on FotR (thanks again to [livejournal.com profile] thenightsfall for the recc):

"Absolutely my favourite moment in the entire film. You can hear it all in Boromir's voice, I said we should make for the gap of Rohan, we could have had reinforcements and been halfway to Mordor. I said this was a bad idea, but no, nobody listens to Boromir, we have to follow the directions of a halfling who doesn't know which way up to hold the map and now we have to fight Orcs and... 'They have a cave troll.'"

'They have a cave troll.'"

Best. Line. Ever.

My favorite line in the movie. His delivery is so perfect. So very much, "I knew this was a bad idea, and it just keeps getting WORSE." But very understated and British. Or Gondorian. Whatever. *g*

Hee, exactly! It's a great character moment for something so brief, and SB gets the delivery exactly right. Plus, funny. Definitely funny.
