Transcript of Christmas conversation on those tra-la-la elves

[sunnyskywalker]

I told my uncle about the future Hobbit movie, and we came around to the problem of The Hobbit's tra-la-la elves vs. LotR's noble, serious elves. Being in the middle of a party ourselves, the conversation went about like this:

UNCLE: Well... maybe they can write it off as the difference between the high elves and the silvan elves.
ME: Drunk silvan elves?
UNCLE: Yeah, drunk silvan elves.
ME: No wonder movie!Elrond is so grumpy. He's stuck in a house full of drunk silvan elves.

Hee!

Also ponder this - will Legolas make a cameo? And how will this correspond with the drinking scene in Edoras between him and Gimli?

Unless Orlando isn't available, I'm sure he will. And yes, he had to build up that alcohol tolerance somehow! I think he'll be the one who gets drunk (after having lots to drink) and leaves the dungeon keys available for lifting. Then his father will lecture him about responsibility and sentence him to running messages to Elrond's for the next century or so ;D
