    The WIlhelm scream is a sound effect that has been reused in tons of movies and is pretty identifyable. It's been used in pretty nearly every Lucasfilm production. It's called a Wilhelm since one of it's earliest uses was used ina movie where it was emmited by a cowboy named Wilhelm, who gets shot in the leg with an arrow.

    There was a TF.N article about 3 years ago that had links to a video file that had most of it's uses up to TPM in it, I'll edit in a link.

    EDIT-

    This has a list of every known use of the Wilhelm:

    Here's a video with many of these uses:

    I saw TTT on the day it came out, and ditto Kwenn. The Gollum scenes were very good, and though the whole Arwen part confused me the cinematography in the scene where Elrond is talking to her about what will happen if she marries Aragorn is just beautiful. But was anyone else upset about Jackson's portrayal of Faramir? He made him seem evil and Boromir-ish though he isn't in the book! [face_devil]

    Ah yes...anything going on?

    We talking about TTT?

    Well, I thought the Helm's Deep battle was the best one I've seen on screen since the AOTC Clone War battle.

    And Aragorn= :D

    And Gollum= :D :D :D :D

    And Gimil= [face_laugh]

    Well, I've seen TTT...and it was too long and boring. The battles were good, but too few and far between. The story dragged on, and I almost fell asleep a number of times. Having said that, all the Gollum scenes were great - and the bits where he talks to himself, changing from nice and sweet to dark and evil were brilliant. The character as both a CGI creation and as a genuine actor was stunning.

    [face_shocked]

    DESTROY THE INFIDEL!!!!!

    Oh, and I found the famous Wilhiem (sp?) scream too! It's when somkeone falls off a wall during the Helm's Deep battle.

    I noticed that, too. :)

    Yeah. Happy Holidays, peeps. I'm not going to be here this week, because of Christmas stuff, so I give command of Silver Squad to Jedi_Liz.

    Don't screw this up, Liz. ;)

    I wish to help in the defence of the EU. I believe that it adds so much more to the Star Wars universe. I have met up with one semi-basher just to let you guys know. I'll look into it a bit more before I say anything else though.

    SPOILERS AND/OR BIASED OPINIONS



    I saw TTT on Friday... and it was a fantastic movie, but stank compared to FOTR. Legolas was hot as always, and thank goodness he had more to do. I even liked the odd bits of humor thrown into this one- Gimli not being able to see over the wall and having the dead things fall on him... but my favorite was when Aragorn came to Helm's Deep after they thought he was dead- and Legolas, in way of greeting, says "You look terrible!" I cracked up! You know, because of all the teaseing the Men gave the Elves on set because the Elves looked so pretty and never got dirty and bloody or anything, and Leggy just comes out and says it! [face_laugh] I laughed out loud and got some strange looks.

    And I, too, was pissed when there was no evil spider and no Quickbeam.

    Gee, I forgot about quickbeam. Thanks a lot, and all I had to complain about was Shelob....and Haldir's death.... though it was touching, moreso since I had read the silmarillion....

    P.S. I was with a group of about twenty, and we all laughed at the "You look terrible" part, and everyone in the theatre looked at us too. [face_mischief]

    DON'T READ UNLESS YOU"RE SPOILED ROTTEN

    I was sad about Haldir... I tried to read the Simerillian (I know my spelling stinks) once, but it was too... full of stuff for me. All those names and places and things to remember... I guess I'll have to go read it again now. I also wished they had shown Pippin and Merry drinking Ent-food and getting taller.

    NON-SPOILED ONES MAY NOW READ





    Except I have nothing to say... oh yeah! Emode has jumped on the Star Wars Quiz bandwagon... you can go there and take the "Which Star Wars charecter are you" quiz. I got Yoda. I always get Yoda! Just once, I'd like t be Leia or Padme... *sigh* Ah well.

    EDIT: And I see you're still hatin' on the AF, Mazzara ;) :p

    To heal my heart and drown my woe
    Rain may fall and wind may blow
    But there still be many miles to go

    Sweet is the sound of falling rain
    And the stream that jumps from hill to plain
    Sweeter than rain or rippling brook
    Is a mug of beer inside this Took!

    I was R2-D2. No complaints there

    I saw TTT friday. I can't say it was perfect but it was good. Couldn't get over how they left out selob or how they ruined filimar... but beyond that the battles where very good.

    Good morning Padawans! The Genghis is very pleased with talk about The Two Towers. When he sees these comments, the Genghis says to himself "Hello self! How are you today?" and the self answers back "Wonderful, Master Genghis. Thank you for asking! And how are you today?" And the Genghis answers

















    The Two Towers. The Genghis really enjoyed the movie, although he did not enjoy it as much as he did the Fellowship of the Rings. He especially liked the first few minutes. The Genghis was pleased to see Gandalf beat the papooky out of the balrog. The Genghis also thought it was very funny the way that Gandalf was falling down the shaft and looked over and says "Oh look! There's Glamdring. I might need that in a minute!"

    The Genghis also liked when the guards at Rohan tried to stop Gandalf from entering the hall of King Theoden:

    "Surely you wouldn't begrudge an old man his walking stick..."
    "These are not the droids you're looking for..."

    The Genghis laughed a little when Gandalf was freeing Theoden from Count Dooku's -oops! He means- Saruman's influence. He thinks that Gandalf looked like a TV evangelist, all dressed in white. "The power of Gandalf frees casts out evil! Can I get an amen!"

    The Genghis also really enjoyed Gollum. The scenes where he was talking to himself seemed familiar somehow ;)

    The Genghis loved seeing more of Arwen, she is almost as yummy as Salma Hayek! OHO!! The Genghis now knows why he kept getting Arwen & Eowyn confused when he read the books years ago.

    But most of all, the Genghis loved the music at the end credits. Creepy. He thought it was Beth Gibbons from Portishead at first.
