I Cannot Rest

This may be the last act (on this subject) of a desperate hobbit, but does anyone here at all have the first DVD release of FotR? NOT the Extended Version. If so, please look at the Rivendell scenes of Elrond. I still can't let it sleep, this vision of Elrong reciting the Ring Poem... Until someone who has the first DVD release tells me I'm just imagining this, I will continue to cling grimly to this hope {{{{{that I can still make Petty look stupid }}}}}

As a mod I feel I should remove this thread for being spurious and fictous. And I should add possibly malicous!

No, no, not all - unless you can unencrypt things - but I think it fair that we try all avenues. As you know, I'm not a trouble maker {{{{did I really just say that? }}}}, I just want to cross all the T's. I have a clear memory of Elrond doing it. Now, it might just be my memory of an "imagined" scene that I now think happened (and, yes, the evidence so far does point in that direction), but I still need to Confirm the facts. Once someone checks the first (non-extended) DVD release, then I'll have no further reason to think I'm the only one on this Forum who is right. (Not that I'd gain any pleasure or satsfaction by calling you all stupid heads.)

NB "fictous"? I mean, really. Spelling mistakes are okay by me, but that almost sounds like a real word - and should be, I feel. What could it mean, though? (Thinking cap goes on).

Picts from Finland.

Nuh - need to do better. Something like "something that has a fictional aspect or quality"? Doesn't sound groovy enough... but maybe that would be good enough...mmm...

Oh....

Orwell: "I remember Elrond reciting the Ring Poem."

Petty: "That does sound like it has a fictous quality."

Orwell: "No, I'm sure I didn't just imagine it."

Petty: "No, surely not, I didn't mean that. What I mean is, you remember imagining it but don't remember imagining it as a figment of your imagination."

Orwell: "That's as clear as mud."

Petty: "That phrase itself has a fictous aspect!"

I'll go with that- makes perfect sense to me, but then I'm well buckied what the hell's your excuse? (Did that sound drunkenly beligerent? Is beligerent even a word? Mmmm maybe I just imagined it sounded beligerent and that beligerent was a word, now thats fictous).

Beligerent may very well be fictous, I believe. Or has my English gone wonkers too?

Possibly... whats a wonker? Its worrying close to something I am sure you did not mean.

A mental state - not a "kind" of person.

Err.... "bonkers" might be what I was looking for. "Wonky" though = shoddy, or unsteady where I come from. That could mean somone's brain going "wonky", and therefore "gone astray or unsteady in thinking" or even a person becoming "wonkers".

Blimey my workplace is full of wonkers then!

I do have to get out of the habit of posting before I've edited.

I wonder if anyone - in the distant future - will dig here and find out why this Thread was originally made?

Sorry can't help, did have the originals, but junked them as soon as I got the EE!

And can't remember Elrond's recital, pray tell?

Sorry! No!

Kafria wrote:Sorry! No!

Ha! So you can't absolutely discount the possibility!

Anyone else!?

I'm pretty sure he does say it.

I am not even sure where any of my LOTR movies are, but is sounds odd that Elrond would say the poem. And with the help of Google, I find that in both versions it is Gandalf who recites the poem during the Council of Elrond, and Elrond is not too happy about it.

Sorry Orwell...

Gandalf recites it in the blackspeech, but still pretty sure Elrond says it.

He doesnt say it here.

Gandalf also says it in common tongue in the Shire, after the text appeared on the Ring.

....you are only encouraging his poor demented mental state by even pretending to look for him- dont encourage him!

-loving in a scary way the Dark Planet Cat Amarië- I hear the DP may be doing a spot on it terrorising Forumshire mice!

Pah! Mice! DP only eats shirefol... Grey Haven tuna! Dolphin and ocean dwelling maia/Valar safe Grey Haven tuna.

Could it be on that non-extended version? Or somewhere in an out-take.

Btw I don't feel quite so crazy now. Thanks Chris.

I just can remember (imagine?) Elrond saying it, and have a clear vision of it, and even remember (imagine?) that I did not like the way he recited it very much. Peculiar imaginings --- probably "accurate" memories!

I do remember him saying it, i can even picture it in my head.
Maybe its in the making of dvd's
