Topic: Dissension on the LOTR set

It's a little known fact that at first the cast of LOTR did not get along with each other. The main stars of the movie blamed the actors who were hired to play elves, who were then relatively unknown. The elves of course blamed the main stars. One of Peter Jackson's assistants (who happened to be named Brutus)asked him which side was to blame.
Can you guess what Jackson's reply was?

I'll do it:

"The fault, dear Brutus, lies not in our stars, but in our elves."

Don't blame the messenger.

"Hearing"? What do you do, have someone read these posts out loud to you?

You don't? You mean, you actually have to use your eyes to read posts?

[Eek!]

Lol. It didn't even cross my mind that the joke entered my brain via my eyes instead of my ears.

But I do read out loud in my head. Because of this, I am not able to speed read.

Now, do you know what he said when his assistant brought his Dalmatian dog to the set?

It's better if someone else guesses it.

Here's a wild stab:

"Out, damn Spot?"

By the way, "Here's a wild stab," is what some people say to me right after I tell them one of my jokes.
Now, can you guess what I said when I found out that the movie originally included a nude scene featuring Eowyn, which was edited out of the final movie? (This one may be a little more obscure than the others.)

If you think "Damnit" is obscure, you've obviously never been to my neck of the woods.

I have to go soon, and I don't want to torture you (although by now I'm sure you want to torture me), so I'll just give the answer.

I think this thread caused me to dream that I met Peter Jackson last night. [Monkeys]

That reminds me of the worst star trek joke ever...

"Captain, we have to perform some minor cosmetic surgery on Mr. Spock after an incident with the transporter. You see, he now has three ears."

"Three ears?"

"Yes. A right ear, a left ear, and a final front ear."

You have gone where no man has gone before, and fewer wanted you too.
