Colbert's rant in defense of Ian McKellen's refusal to perform wedding as Gandalf Can't Post

Here's another clip of Steven Colbert gleefully talking Tolkien. The actual bit went on longer during the show, but this clip posted on Facebook earlier is a truncated version. Pretty fun stuff. Laugh

You realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doesn't go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning 'round

Can’t blame Ian [In reply to] Can't Post

Two dressed in all white at a wedding?

Tacky! Inappropriate!

But then again: The Istari Mandate was to unite the Free Peoples of Middle-earth. Angelic

And over Middle-earth he passed
and heard at last the weeping sore
of women and of elven-maids
in Elder Days, in years of yore.

Yay! [In reply to] Can't Post

There wasn't much more to the clip, but I was trying to explain Colbert's love of all things Tolkien to my mom at the time and missed the bit about Gollum wanting to be a ring bearer and someone losing a finger. Laugh

Thanks, Lissuin!

"one of us, one of us"

I am a dreamer of words, of written words. I think I am reading; a word stops me. I leave the page. The syllables of the words begin to move around … The words take on other meanings as if they had the right to be young.
