Kiwi accents!?! Kiwi accents!?! [Rushes round room like headless chook. Not.].
Listen to Jackson on any one of those multitudinous add on disks, Check the vowels, 'Fur Five Sex. Fush and Chups.'
Now go back to those orcs.
Cockney accent. Traditional signifier of not-too-bright-working-class-lowlife criminal, and perfect compliment to the classist meanderings of both book and film. If still in doubt, do a quick google on 'cockney orcs'.
Kiwi accents?! That would explain the voice coaches...
Sigh.
I can feel a song coming on. Way back in book/movie one. The Gandalf SONG.
Almost heaven, Old West Farthing
Misty Mountain, Brandywine River....
Life is short there, shorter than four feet
You can always trust a hobbit, if he's had enough to eat.
Chorusy Bit...
The road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began...
Now ever on, the road is gone
And I must follow if I can...
Shadowfax me, down to Rohan
Minas Tirith, is where I must be gohan.
The ring is nasty but I want to know for sure
Got to find the old roll, the scrolls of Isildor.
Chorusy Bit.
Middle Eight Bit...
I hear the voices of Sauron they call to me Saroman advices me, to give the drugs away. Sitting on his tower I've got the feeling big bird's comin' soon We'll fly away, glad to be grey!
Chorusy Bit.
Join the Company, they're going to need a se-er
To lead them through the dusty, caverns of Moria.
Found a balrog, down by Balin's tomb,
Wish they'd had a safety net installed in Khazadum.
Chorusy Bit.
Bloody hell....
John
