      He’s so good. I feel like there’s V for Vendetta potential, but it might not land with people because he never shows his face.

        There’s also Red Skull from the first Captain America, say what you will about Marvel recently but that one and his performance in it were both really good imo

        Look, I’m going to jump straight to the end.

        Priscilla: Queen of the Desert. His crowning (heh) role. Australian drag queen on a bus trip.

        It is a gold mine of Hugo material. There is nothing better. It’s got more gold than Khazad-dûm.

        Drop Priscilla into Mordor instead of walking, for example. (Priscilla was what they named their bus).

      In the other, you’re a ring bearer and are guilty of virtually every smuggling crime that we have a nose for.

      One of these lives has a future. The other one does not.

      I’m going to be as forthcoming as I can he, Me Baggins. You’re here because we need your help.

      My colleagues believe that I’m wasting my time with you Mr Baggins, but I believe you wish to do the right thing.

          What good is a 2nd breakfast, if they’re taking the breakfast to Isengard? (Gard, g-g-g-gard)

            We’re willing to wipe the slate clean, give you a fresh chest of gold.

            All we ask in return is your còóperation in bringing a known evil to Mordor.

    I remember people joking about this just after the first LotR trilogy trailers/promo stills came out. Damn I feel old.
