Word from Sweden on the untranslated lines from Gandalf and Elrond in FotR… [More]
Thanks to JD in Sweden we have a litte more to savor from FotR:
Ok, here are the translation of two of the movies none subtiteld Sindarin in the movie. Found them in “the Cedeco Daliy 2002 Calendar”
Elrond: Frodo, lasto beth nin, tolo dan na ngalad. (Translation: Frodo, hear my voice, come back to the light.)
Gandalf: Losto Caradharas, sedho, hodo, nuitho i ruith! (Translation: Sleep Caradhras, be still, lie still, hold your wrath!)
The calendar is full of qutes from the movie, and the most interesting that I found was these: “The skill of the elves can reforge the sword of Elendil – but only you can wield it.” Elrond, to Aragon. Galadriel: “And what gift would a Dwarf ask of the Elves? Gimli: Nothing, but to look upon the Lady Galadhrim (?) one last time, for she is more fair than all the jewels beneath the earth.”
There is more and I will send this along, and now I can´t wait to see the DVD with these outtakes incorporated into the movie. They MUST do that for the DVD at least as an option.
Old time Ringer PippinSkywalker sent an email about Howard Shore, the Golden Globes, and his competition: [More]
The effervescent Ringer PippinSkywalker sends in another great report, this one on Howard Shore and his Golden Globe Award competition:
That’s right… our wonderful musical prince Howard Shore is up against the Three Kings of Composing. John Williams (For AI),James Horner (A Beautiful Mind) and Hans Zimmer (Pearl Harbor) have ALL been nominated.
I’m not sure about this one… Zimmer’s score for PH was not overly impressive. I have not heard James Horner’s score for Beautiful Mind but I will tell you this: He has QUITE a track record… look at Titanic and Braveheart. He is definitely one to watch. I must say I did like parts of John Williams score for AI.
It is difficult to tell at this point… also in the running is Craig Armstrong the composer of the acclaimed tragic musical Moulin Rouge. It is going to be a hard and tough race… but it is in times like this that even the small rise to shake the counsels of
the great.
An interesting side note… recently Skywalker also wrote in to point out that LotR:FotR was released four calendar years to the day of Titanic. Thanks for the news Cousin!
I’m on my third viewing of FotR and something has been growing on my mind. After seeing hundreds of pre-release images from stills, clips, and trailers, I was sure I’d seen some FotR shots from scenes that never made it to the final cut… Ringer Palleon -=XPd=- spotted a batch too and sent in this intriguing email: [More]
