ROTK!!
Well, I get to see ROTK in an hour and a half, and boy am I looking forward to it. Unfortunately, I lost a lot of respect for Vigo Mortensen (Aragorn) based on his comments about President Bush in an article I read this morning. From the article:
A frequent critic of the Bush administration, Mortensen said part of what appealed to him about “The Lord of the Rings” was its positive message about integrity in leadership.“Everyone thinks (Aragorn) is the man for the job, because he has humility, a concern with the consequences of his actions and words on others and an interest in finding common ground with other people. All are qualities which I wish there were more of in real life in our modern-day leaders. There’s an unfortunate lack of humility and overabundance of arrogance.”
Typical Looney pronouncement. What I think is funny is that all of the positive qualities that he cites about Aragorn are equally applicable to President Bush. That was the one thing I got out of the interview last night, our President is very humble man. The examples of leaders lacking humility in the world today are Chirac, Schroder, and the entire Democratic party (less Zell Miller). And how about arrogance? I think the people who think that they can tell the US what to do are pretty arrogant and f’n stupid.
Dangit, now I am pissed. I hope I feel better when I get to the theater.
