sauron
i think that the moth should get a mention, i mean come on he always gets help
he gets the eagle to save gandalf from orthanc, then shows up when its coming
it shows up in rotk to tell gandalf the eagles are coming to save the day again, and cheat to beat the nazgul
go mothy
Kitoky
*taps toe* We're supposed to be fans of the Nazguls.
But yeah the moth seems to be quite important when Gandalf's in dire need.
sauron
but the moth is great though
i am a nazgul fan, thats why i said cheat to win, altered the script see?
Kitoky
Ohhhhhhh ok......NAZGULS WOULD'VE WON!
sauron
yeah, i mean their victory it was foolproof, who would have though eagles could use their beaks to write?
anyway back to the moth, how good is he, he got cute feller things
Elenelda
The moth is wierd. Where does it come from and, in ROTK, how does it get to Gandalf without being squashed in the battle?
Also, how does it know that the eagles are coming?
sauron
beause it talks to them, its a very social moth,
it can fly and is very small so does not get squashed
and as for the question of where it comes from, i really think you should ask your parent that question
Aurora
I think that the moth is Tom and he is just diquising himself!!!!
J/K
sauron
YES
witchy
tom bombadil the moth
the triangle of disguise
Kitoky
Haahahahahahahahaha
Elenelda
i know where the moth comes from. i'm not an idiot . . . well maybe i am, but not in this way.
THEY SKIPPED TOM IN THE MOVIE! that is not good.
sauron
lol they filmed a scene where the hobbits were walking and over the hedge there was a hat and you could hear singing, so they ran for their lives lol
nice nod to tom, unfortunately it never made it into the theatrical or the ee
Kitoky
Dude I can understand if they had cut Tom out because he was a bit Mary Sue and didn't do the plot any good, GO MOTH! Whenever the moth came on the scene you just KNOW that the eagles are coming.
Elenelda
that stinks. he and Lady Goldberry were gipped. actually, a lot of people were gipped when they made the moves.
ps:funny thing about that on fanfiction.net. story called "the official fanfiction university of middle earth. very funny.
Elenelda
It's a long one, 60 something chapters. It took me two days to read the entire thing. And those were days without school!
sauron
well whats the direct link, i am in the book part and on lord of the rings, what page
Elenelda
fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=644826
Can't do direct links.
sauron
ok lol lets start one
nazgulinthedark
the moth is cute...but the ringwraiths are cool
sauron
the moth is a wraith, hes tom bombadils other alter ego
have you seen him kitted up, very sweet
Ariadne
It would be really cool to see the moth transform into a wraith.
sauron
i wonder.......*PING, sauron has an idea*
Ariadne
Uh oh, he's thinking...jk
sauron
i know, it normally hurts lol
Ariadne
So what evil thoughts are you having today? lol
sauron
you will find out, in due time
Ariadne
You mean I have to WAIT? *taps foot impatiently*
sauron
lol it will be worth it,
Ariadne
*sigh* I guess I can watch RotK a million times while I'm waiting, but my life just won't be complete until I know.
samIam
oooo I want to be in a moth fan club!!! cuz moths r kinda freakish and coolish!!! especially Tom's alter ego!

Exa

By the way, I think Il go off now *yawn* ... and go dreaming something about the moth and witchy and whoever... (witchy is hanging right over my bed
)
Ariadne
I think my favourite character changes daily. Today it is...Prince Imrahil.
sauron
sounds rather kinky
im disturbed......
Kitoky
Prince Imrahil, father of Lothiriel, who is the wife of Eomer, queen of Rohan.
Ariadne
mwahahahahha!
There was no point to that at all.
sauron
nice info kit, but i regret to say i must go now, first time we have been on at the same time all weekend, and now i gotta go
DAMN IT
Kitoky
Namarie Sauron!
So yeah....Eomer get's married!!! *sniff* To a princess too!!!!!! Waaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
But I'm happy with Glorfindel.
Exa
lol Glorfindel was my fav some months ago... but now I have witchy
and the moth
and of course the elf on the left side in the third row
sauron
lmao im gonna look for him exa
sauron
and witchy hanging over your bed?!?!?!?!
im quite worried about that
Exa
Witchking
... and Gollum
I watched RoTK again to day... awww he looks so cool... when he is dressed for war...
Aurora
I want to make a claim on Figwit.
Exa
Got a bit offtop, didnt it?
Ok back to topic... thats IMPOSSIBLE... mothy was moved to the second page
so what about some fantavern or something?
Mothy rulez!
Aurora
Second page? We can't have that!!!
FreddieFreeload
Oh crap. No we'll have the forum flooded with "The Moth is so cute" and "I wanna marry the moth"-threads. Some of you crazy folks will probably suggest "the moth" for best supporting insect.
Aurora
And why not? He absolutly held his own against wonderful actors like Christopher Lee and Ian McKellen. I think he should be awarded something.
Discos
Ah you didnt think I would miss out this topic, this is the moth! almost the keeper of the eagles and you know how I like my eagles.
The moth is infact a very good thing for the lord of the rings, i would of better my last buck that if that moth didnt turn up for gandalf that the fellowship would have failed as so much depended on gandalf, lets see - Mary & Pippin would have been classed as Orcs by Treebeard and probably been killed
The riders of rohan would not have been contacted and Helms Deep would have failed,
Gondor would have failed if Gandalf didnt stop the insane Steward and took control
Perhaps Frodo still would have destroyed the ring but would nto have made it back out of Mount doom.....LOL now we come back to the moth who came again and Frodod was saved
Discos - Even the smallest creatures can make the greatest difference.
sauron
best supporting insect you say.....hmmm well he did do a good job mind you
Discos
it did infact, I wonder if there would be any other compeition, perhaps best supporting animal/not human-ish, something out of bugs life would be the closest insect I know of in a movie.
sauron
erm, there was a film called antz
but he would have competition at home in M E
balrogs
the watcher
tom bombadil (if you say hes not an animal il just say "what is he then" so dont try people please)
other moths
BILL THE PONY
gimli (<<<<NEWT)
pinksuezo
i dont know if this was mentioned already, but the moth was gandalfs link to radagast the brown, another istari, or wizard, who could communicate with all sorts of winged creatures. in the books, i believe he lives by the misty mountains (or meets gandalf there), which is where the eagles live. radagast is described as less wise than the other istari, as he had become more of a local celebrity/druid than a maia dediacted to wiping out sauron, and so his role was minor in the books.
sauron
eurgh the moth obviously better than radagast
i hate radagast...other names include 'The Fool' < and thats actually true
Suzuka
The moth?? He did rule
Though I wonder who he lived that long, moths usually live like...a day....maybe you're right and he's a special moth that lives for about a month, that would be cool
the moth was played by a "gum emperor moth" if you wanted to know more about little mothy there...he does rock though
I like his little wings and the music that goes with him..if he has his own theme music he's gotta be cool, LEGOLAS doens't have HIS own music! so HA
Discos
ah you just sprung something to mind Sauron - "other moths", perhaps it wasnt the same moth which appeared at the black gate
sauron
no it was, i can tell
Elenelda
So can I! It was definately the same one, it had the same wings!
Discos
Yes, all moths are different......thats the one thing they have in common
Exa
and what is the problem about it?
Mothy
IS actually so cute
(and even more cute as it's actually WITCHYYYY
)
Best supporting insects? Ok here Mothy is definitely the absolute favourite.
By the way, the moth was totally computergenerated, while on the other hand the crew says they had to breed it extra for the film (being some kind whose name I cannot really remember in English... german is "Nachtpfauenauge", which would translate to "Night-Peacock's-Eye"
nice name, isnt it?).... ssssstrange.
Aurora
Best Supporting Insect!! Look at his competition: The worm that Smeagol uses when he is fishing and the Worm Gollum eats ( although that preformance was good) I still say the award would go to Mothy!! He just shines in his preformance!!!
Exa
Yeah did you notice how perfect he manages the expressions of his face? And how absolutely even-more-perfect he fits in his role as Mothy? Amazing
Aurora
Simply Amazing!!! I can't think of anyone else who could have filled the role!
Exa
Me not too... Awww and his perfect costume
Aurora
And he looks so comfortable in front of the camera, In fact I heard he it is his first starring role. Can you imagine the pressure he was under? And he was so calm and composed... Wonderful acting!!!
Exa
Really? His first role? Wow
he did a great job.
Definitely deserved some award.
Aurora
along with Best Supporting Insect I believe he deserves Best Breakthrough Preformance!
Exa
loTR should also get Best Makeup and Best Costumes for him, I think.
Aurora
Def. best Makeup. They had to un-beautify him to let Ian look normal in the scene. Otherwise he would have outshined Ian. But even with the makeup he shines!!!
Suzuka
I already said it was a gum emperor moth...the one shoot with it in Gandalf's hand is an actually moth, the rest is CG
Exa
Thank you
Suzuka
your welcome! (gag, spam!
)
Aurora
Omg We let Mothy fall to the middle of the 2nd page. What were we thinking. We let him down!
Exa
Oh noooo poor gum emperor moth!! *hugs mothy*
Does Mothy actually have a name?
cheney
the moth has to be magical cos there is no other way a lil moth with its lil wings could flap all the way to gandalf n yaddah yaddah without havin a serious breakdown
Aurora
huh? Mothy having a breakdown? Impossible!
Kitoky
Mothy can be hyper and and and can like flap all around....oh that reminds me, who the Butterfly Effect preview while going to see RotK?
Aurora
Oh I did, It looks like it is gonna be good. Ashton K in a serious role? Could be interesting.
Kitoky
Looks really scary....I can't really stand scary stuff. XD
Exa
Even though mothy wasnt in the book (I think) Tolkien thought about moths...
From the conversation of the mortal woman Andreth and the elf Finrod, her comment about her love to the elf Aegnor (whom she compares to a light flame, based on his name)
"Do candles pity moths?"
"... or moths candles, when the wind blows them out?"
Thorondor
i thought the moth was a cool touch
so were lots of things that aren't in the book....especially that green blast that comes from Minas Morgul
Exa
lol yey... in the book there was at least "green light"
I loved the moth, watched her again today in FoTR... she looks SO great... and her movements
lol
Discos
yep, Mothy ruled and was a sign for the eagles to take their part in Nazgul death!!!mwahaha
Discos - Mothys name here forth shall be called "Steve", I will also allow "stevey"
Exa
Steve? Ok...
AGAINST the nazgul? aww NO no way... Mothy is Witchy...
Thorondor
the music that was composed with the moth also ruled
the moth scenes would suck without the music
Thorondor
i preferred mothy
Exa
I also like mothy... but I think Stevie is a nice name for him
Thorondor
thought it was a her
lol
Exa
maybe... but I dont think so...
must be a him
Thorondor
maybe its a herm lmao
Discos
meh, couldnt actually tell in the scenes which "steve" was in.
sauron
i call him by his alter egis
withcy tom bombadil and treebeard
Discos
lol, not that again, I remember the thread a while back
Discos - Tom is mysterious
Discos
The moth is an excuse for Eagos
sauron
nice nice nice nice story discos
Exabyte
I dreamt of Mothy the other day
I'm bored
Fëanor

JohnnyBloom
I'd like to say I'd dreamt of the moth too but I havn't - am i depprived?
JohnnyBloom

I don't think i can stand this!
Fëanor
not to worry, not to worry
make some tea, add a smidgen of puerto rican rum, a pinch of sugar to taste, let seep for a minute or so

JohnnyBloom
