Hah I totally whispered that line in the theater when it came out! The Matrix had come out recently so you just couldn’t unsee it.

He's so good. I feel like there's V for Vendetta potential, but it might not land with people because he never shows his face.

There’s also Red Skull from the first Captain America, say what you will about Marvel recently but that one and his performance in it were both really good imo

Oh right! It's been so long.

It’s wild how many great franchises he and Ian McKellan played such pivotal roles in

Holy hell I never knew he was V.

Look, I'm going to jump straight to the end.

Priscilla: Queen of the Desert. His crowning (heh) role. Australian drag queen on a bus trip.

It is a gold mine of Hugo material. There is nothing better. It's got more gold than Khazad-dûm.

Drop Priscilla into Mordor instead of walking, for example. (Priscilla was what they named their bus).

Mr. Baggins, it seems you've been living something of a double life.

[–] abfarid@startrek.website 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Tell me, Mr. Baggins*, ...

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

In the other, you’re a ring bearer and are guilty of virtually every smuggling crime that we have a nose for.

One of these lives has a future. The other one does not.

I’m going to be as forthcoming as I can he, Me Baggins. You’re here because we need your help.

My colleagues believe that I’m wasting my time with you Mr Baggins, but I believe you wish to do the right thing.

– You can't scare me with this Nazgul crap. I know my rights. I want my 2nd breakfast.

[–] CatZoomies@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

What good is a 2nd breakfast, if they’re taking the breakfast to Isengard? (Gard, g-g-g-gard)

We’re willing to wipe the slate clean, give you a fresh chest of gold.

All we ask in return is your còóperation in bringing a known evil to Mordor.

I remember people joking about this just after the first LotR trilogy trailers/promo stills came out. Damn I feel old.

Hugo Weaving best actor

I'm getting some real Tzimisce vibes
