Bernard Hill said once that he came up with the line, “No parent should have to bury their child.” And, no, it’s not canonical, but it’s absolutely what the story needed. It’s what the character needed. Hell, it’s what we needed. It’s a better and more compelling and more relatable and more moving and more empathetic film for having that emotion expressed. It was such a simple idea, but such an important one. And we needed him to get it. May the simbelmynë always bloom on your place of rest, Mr. Hill.

In light of the sad news about Bernard Hill, I feel like we should take a moment to really appreciate the acting performances in the LOTR trilogy. The fact that none of the cast got Academy Awards is well-known and I think even now the sheer visual spectacle of the trilogy can overshadow everything else, but the performances were SO crucial to what made the films great.
It’s easy to take the success of the movies for granted now, but that was never a guarantee. Aside from the practical aspects of portraying such an epic fantasy onscreen, the series is peppered with dialogue that is fine on the page but unbelievably difficult to deliver. As Harrison Ford famously remarked to George Lucas re Star Wars “You can write this stuff, but you can’t say it.”
From Gandalf’s “To the Bridge of Khazad-Dum!” to Elrond’s “It must be cast back into the fiery chasm from whence it came!” it would be so easy for the whole thing to collapse into farce. The only reason it doesn’t, is because of the talent and conviction of the actors.
Bernard Hill was tasked with one of the most objectively ridiculous lines in the entire trilogy. “The horn of Helm Hammerhand shall sound in the deep one last time!” And he delivered. BOY, did he deliver. He gave it all the gravitas and emotional weight of Shakespeare, he made it truly rousing instead of ridiculous, he took the audience with him to that moment, that place, right into Middle Earth with its people and its history, and made it REAL.
And for that, I thank and salute him. RIP, sir. Go now to the halls of your fathers. You earned it.

pink lemonade sky, E (3/4)
FFVII. aerti. post-college road trip au
Aerith gulps and does as she is told. Tifa leans against the open door with her arms braced. Her knees are still dirty, and there’s that smear of dirt across her face. Her braids are starting to unravel. She wears a faded blue work shirt tied around her waist. Aerith takes in all these details, and is sunk under the slow, mesmerizing realization that she is stuck like a butterfly to a card.
“I don’t want to just talk,” Tifa says in that same low voice. “And I don’t want to dial back the physical stuff.”
Aerith’s breaths are coming shallow as Tifa leans further into the car. She reaches across Aerith, and Aerith feels every fine hair on her skin stand on end. Tifa keeps going, reaching past Aerith, and takes firm hold of the seat adjuster. She yanks on it hard, and Aerith’s seat slides back with a fast jolt that she feels through her body.
