I wonder how much they paid Elijah Wood...

I just watched an iLife promotional movie on Apple's web site, and I must say seeing Elijah Wood drool over "real time scrolling" was quite hilarious. He seemed to be really faking enthusiasm with everything that came out of his mouth. As opposed to Sheryl Crow and Tony Hawk, who even though they were probably paid plenty of money too, they didn't seem as much like they were totally BSing me as Elijah Wood did.

    he probably was a bit annoyed at the sluggishness of iPhoto if he had been using it document his 3 year work on LOTR... They probably gave him some new Apple stuff.



    What they REALLY need to do is get rid of that annoying **** who narrates the video.

    Faking enthusiasm or just bad acting?

    Yeah, that hopped-up idiot is EXACTLY the kind of image I'd think Apple WOULDN'T want to project. What a obnoxious shithead. I mean honestly...who acts that way? And is liked?



    Makes me miss someone like Goldblum!



    Why don't they just get Ms. Cleary to do these things?

    At the risk of being shunned, I think he's sexy.

    He's going to be one of those guys that even when he turns 60, he's still going to look like a little boy.



    He'll probably still have those big fishbowl eyes too.

    Who, Elijah Wood? Damn straight he's sexy. But he's mine. Stay away! AWAY!



    Or that troll person from MTV? I hope he's been neutered...

    Yep, he's one cool cat.



    I'd also like to see Samuel Jackson do an advert. Every time he opens his mouth he manages to sound cool. Hell, I bet he could even sell .mac!



    As for the over animated presenters, I don't really mind them. Their enthusiasm seems to rub-off. I think Graham Norton would be quite funny!

    He wasn't a troll, he was a hobbit. And it wasn't MTV it was LOTR. And yes he probably has been neutered.



    Did anybody else think that there was a bit of a gay undercurrent to Frodo and Sams relationship in the films?



    "Oh! Show me your ring again Master Frodo!"

    No, but Merry and the other Hobbit were definitely gay.



    Yes, Samuel L. Jackson. That would be sweet.



    Click that file.



    Which one?



    The one that says Bad Mother ****er on it.



    (iLife screen comes up.)



    That's my Bad Mother ****er.

    The homoerotic undertones in Tolkien's masterpiece run thick and strong (no pun intended ), and Jackson has just leveraged those.

    So, Samuel L. Jackson could make "I made accident in my pants" sound badass?



    I think anyone who has used iPhoto 1-2 (AND MAYBE 3? ) knows the horrid slowness of the app. I refer to my above post :

    I think he probably did it for nothing, and that was just his natural reaction. Gee you guy's are paranoid. You try getting thrown in front of a camera unprepared.
