The Secret Life of Ralph Bakshi's Aragorn

Bakshi's Aragorn. Anton Chigurh. Coincidence? I think not.

But thank goodness he didn't wear a little skirt. That character was disturbing enough without a mini skirt and knee high boots! 
Brilliant Blu Falcon - well spotted! Wow, what a dark stranger the Bakshi Aragorn turned out to be!!

Um...no relation to Lwaxana Troi, are you...? 
So: are you a book-firster, or movie-firster?
And welcome to TORn!

Blu Falcon, this is the kind of stuff I love!! This is hilarious!!! Keep it coming! Especially after listening to Javier Bardem laughingly complain about his "worst hair-do ever on his head" at the Academy Awards last year - this is just the icing on the cake!

Glad you de-lurked! I did the same at the end of last year and am still glad that I did - it's much more fun to join in the discussions.

That is fan-tastic! He really does look like him! Bakshi's Aragorn is strangly un-heroic looking...he also looks a bit like Patrick Troughton!

Now I'm picturing the following scene:
Frodo wakes to find Aragorn sitting by the fire humming to himself.
"What is that song you are humming, Strider?"
"It is the Lay of Luthien. Wait, I will play it to you on my pennywhistle!"

They have become like the things which once attracted us by their glitter, or their colour, or their shape, and we laid hands on them, and then locked them in our hoard, acquired them, and acquiring ceased to look at them.
Creative fantasy, because it is mainly trying to do something else [make something new], may open your hoard and let all the locked things fly away like cage-birds. The gems all turn into flowers or flames, and you will be warned that all you had (or knew) was dangerous and potent, not really effectively chained, free and wild; no more yours than they were you." -On Fairy Stories

to TORN! I've been here a couple of months now. It's been very enjoyable talking about Tolkien with people who know what they're talking about and love the books and films as much as I do!
What exactly was Bakski's Aragorn?? It looks terrible whatever it is! Is it anything to do with those other terrible cartoons made in the 70's or 80's? I stumbled on them on youtube once and was foaming at the mouth so much I nearly passed out!!  Thranduil looked like a damn frog!

That's what is meant with book firster or movie firster - what did you encounter first. Not that it matters much, but it is always interesting to compare first experiences of the story and if they change with the medium.
