prisca | Snowflake Challenge

Day 3 - In your own space, share a favorite piece of original canon (a TV episode, a song, a favorite interview, a book, a scene from a movie, etc) and explain why you love it so much.

Just one? Really??? This is a hard challenge. I hope you don't mind if I cheat a tiny bit?

1. Lord of the Rings

I just need to hear this music and I will leave the world behind and I will immerse into Middle-earth. Even after all the years it still works.

2. Sean Astin at Ring Con 2006 (Bonn, Germany)

A panel

together with Miranda Otto (Eowyn)

Together with his daughter (Sam's daughter Elenor) and Sarah McLeod (Rosie)

I went to Ring Con for some years and I met a lot of LotR actors but to meet Sean was one of the most exciting things in my life.

Christopher Lee was working close together with the Tolkien Ensemble. During a concert tour in Germany he joined some of the concerts as the narrator of the story. And of course, we had to go and watch.

I will never forget the moment when he entered the stage to took place in his 'throne'. Despite his age, he had such charisma and such a compelling voice, and we were sitting so close to the stage that we almost could touch him. To remember this moment alone makes me shivers again.
