***This is an older thread, you may want to scroll to the end*** And I had a bit of trouble finding this. I should put a code word in. Trouble is if I do, other people will start using it to thwart me.
I guess I was dreaming I was the heroine of his upcoming film, Hidalgo because we were in some kind of rodeo where you could win a jackpot of horses. The trick was that Viggo and I were handcuffed back to back with a portable fence section between us.
Thanks to my special talent of doing whatever people want me to (I was actually scouted by a team looking for this trait in the dream) we were able to free the animals. But they had all turned into bunnies and baby chicks. Viggo and I split the winnings and then he bid me farewell, saying "I can tell your momma don't like me too much" in that deferrent, irresistable way. But all my baby chicks froze, so he gave me one of his.
Then I woke up and when I fell asleep again, we were on a transatlantic voyage with some evil mastermind. Viggo and I would have to pretend not to be attracted to each other during the journey in order to bring justice on this fiend.

That's it. It's destined. I suggest you find Viggo's phone number and call him at least twice a day until he agrees to meet you and give this relationship-made-in-heaven a try. If his wife or children answer the phone, breathe heavily for five seconds and then hang up. It worked for me.

(He doesn't have a wife! yeehee! we can legally dream! )
Here are some lovely pictures of him as of late. My sister belongs to a Viggo FORUM! Can you believe it? Anyway, I've joined as well so I can get access to the images and all the other stuff they post (some of which is pretty cool). So, now I can link to these. Aren't they just lovely??

That guy is so dreamy. He paints, takes photos, writes poems and composes music. How sexy is that? And he went to my college before I was there. Like... when I was 1 or 2...

You know I actually feel sorry for Viggo, a bit. I wonder how he manages to have any normalcy in his life after LotR. I mean look at all the websites out there by fans. In a way it would give me a creepy stalkeresque kind of feeling. I'm sure the hubbub will die down a bit in a couple of years but man, in the mean time I do feel pity for him.

Ron read an article where he talked about all the women who throw themselves at him. He said when he gets a pocket full of phone numbers, he gives half to Billy Boyd and half to Dominick Monohan.
I sort of assumed he was exaggerating, but maybe he wasn't.

I always forget, was it Billy or Dominic that was Pippin? I have mulled it over since LotR first came out and his singing RotK finally clinched it that if I could pick any actor it would be him. Plus he's hysterically funny and got an awesome accent!
posted
Ack, I just realized that Billy Boyd is 10 years older than I am. I thought he was younger. Well that is what explains the receding hairline. Te does look better with his longer hobbit hair though. Sean Astin, who I thought was the oldest is actually 4 years younger. Dominic is only 5 years older than Elijah, and he and Billy play characters of nearly the same age. Man what an age span!
Maybe that is what squicks me out about liking Viggo too much. He is old enough to be my father by a couple of years.

Did a silly little compatibility test online based on biorythyms. I had an average compatibility with Viggo of 82%. And though I KNEW it was just a silly game, for a moment it was like, 'oh yeah, baby!' (^_^)
He really falls into that "man o' my dreams" category. Smart, hard-working (commits to things carefully and then throws all his energy into them), puts his son first over work, artistic/talented. The fact that he's gorgeous is like so much icing on an already delicious cake. I'd even just enjoy being friends with the guy.

Even though he's single now, what happened to the woman in his life that produced the kid? I always wonder stuff like that... It sounds like the kid lives with him too.

They're divorced, but still friendly. She's the lead singer of a band called X (I don't know anything about them, though).

X? I knew a girl in high school who was so into them (1987). I think they were alternative before it was called that. Like in the transition from punk to alternative.

He's the same age as my pops. Yet, he'd be such a cool friend. He's just so talented. Have you seen those photographs he did? They are nice. And he had some song that sounded like jazz and country @_@ Plus he seems like a very nice and quiet man.

Is Viggo Mortensen the new Harrison Ford now that Ford is aging more drastically?
I was also thinking last night, that I'd want to see Hidalgo regardless of who was playing the main character. Obviously Viggo has name recognition and draw, but I'd still see it if Owen Wilson was playing the main character.
posted
Um...I wouldn't. I don't even mind Owen Wilson actually. I just wouldn't want to see Hidalgo unless the depth of the leading actor seemed to match the scope of the movie. That's just MY opinion though.
posted
I don't know, Hidalgo seems like a the kind of "big" film that they've thrown enough money at so it will be cinematically spectacular but that very little acting is truly required by the headlining actor, mostly they just have to be attractive and have name draw. It looks Indiana Jones or Mummy-ish to me otherwise.

My dad started talking about Seabiscuit when we saw the preview for Hidalgo. He listened to the book on tape and talked about it constantly until the movie came out. And he doesn't even tell different parts each time. You hear the same stories over and over and over and over. But Hidalgo looks good! Posts: 981 | Registered: Aug 2003

Actually apparently they held the release of Hidalgo for almost a year, becuase Disney didn't want it to go at the same time as Seabiscuit, and they were releasing a couple other cutsey horse movies. Then they wanted to wait til the Viggo RotK hubbub died down too for movie attendance so it got pushed back about an entire year.
I started reading about Frank Hopkins the guy that the movie is based on. His biography reads like something out of a Louis L'Amour book. He was apparently the genuine article, coming out of retirement in old age to compete in an 120 mile endurance race when some "young whippersnappers" thought his exploits were overstated.
He came in over an hour ahead of his nearest competition, even though he said he was "stove up for a week afterwards" with his back and hips.

I'm always teasing spoiler babies, but you might want to put a warning on that, AJ. Of course, I rolled my eyes when we go to see Apollo 13 and it says right in the opening credits that SPOILER . . . . Moon dude wrote the books, so obviously he lives. Duh. Anyway.

: Bump : The first part of the dream was a bit unpleasant. I was cleaning up my yard and under a patch of snow was the remains of a human head. So I call 911 (which is kind of surprising since in dreams I have a recurrent problem with dialing the phone) and they send over a detective. She's a no nonsense lady who is pretty sure the victim was a case I had heard about through the media (In my dream memory, not in real life I don't think). I ask here if the suspect is from around here, and she indicated they were pretty sure the killer was.
Now a "bad feeling" I do have from real life is something a neighbor told me when we moved in, that nothing bad has ever happened in this neighborhood. That seemed a little weird to me. So in the dream I was suddenly very anxious about going around places and whatnot. I'm also worried my brother is a suspect (worried for him being profiled, not worried that he actually is). But he points out that what the lady said actually indicates she thinks I am guilty. (psychological artifact from playing mafia, I guess).
So my husband gets home, and he is played by Hugh Jackman. The police come to question me and he does kind of a Wolvering/Hulk/Gargoyles transformation. (I'm not into gargoyles, but I saw a preview a few times). It was really weird. Because I wasn't awake, it seemed really cool.
So I guess the weirdest thing is because it was my husband being played by Hugh Jackman, I didn't feel guilty. Whereas my dream about Legolas it was definitely Legolas.

We already did that, remember? Viggo is yummy and the scenery is beautiful, but the story needed a subtle screenwriter and better editor.

All through the Lori Hacking search I kept thinking at night, when I wasn't really awake, that hers was the head in a bag. In the daytime I'd get rational and realize it wasn't, and refuse to give in to irrational fears by checking inside the woodstove in my backyard. It was a pretty good guage of how stressed I was any given night throughout the summer. OCD sucks.

Keeping in mind that I've been "off" chocolate for over a year now...
Last night I dreamed that I was dreaming about eating chocolate, and when I "woke up" (still dreaming) I realized "Hey, I've been taking this no chocolate thing way too seriously." So I go in the kitchen to see if any of the chocolate chip cookies are left, and they are all gone though there are some broken Oreo crumbs mixed with some BBQ potato chip scraps in the bottom of a box waiting to be discarded.
In the dream (of being awake) I rationalize that if I exercise, I will reward myself by eating some chocolate, but as I go through my day I just keep eating chocolate and adding up the number of days I will have to do make up exercise to "buy" my fix. We also go to a funeral of a sort of relative and my husband has a large block of Iraqi cheese.
I wonder if it could be one of those semi-aware dreams because all the locations were grounded in reality and the taste sensations were really specific. Anyway, I was so glad when I woke up that it really was a dream. Not that I might not start eating chocolate again someday (the trick is to avoid absolutistic thinking) just that I was so out of control with it.

Ya don't say? You know, I cut check @ 13-666 at the synagogue today. It was for the caterer doing a B'nai Mitzvah.
