: someone posted this same question a little while ago, but no one responded... so I'll ask it again.
: does anyone know what the tattoos were on hawkeye (and the others for that matter), if the were authentic in design, and what those tattoos would mean, or represent.
: also, is anyone excited to see Lord of the Rings?? it's got some LOTM in it... The character Aragorn (aka Strider) is basically Hawkeye with a sword.. in fact they wanted DDL to play the part, but he didn't want to commit to a two year shoot...
: finally I'm about 3/4 of the way through Deerslayer...which is really a good book. right now, Deerslayer has the most beautiful girl he has ever seen, madly in love with him... but he has no clue, cause he's too busy loving Nature!!
: "Deerslayer, don't you love a woman's laugh?"
: "it is lovely indeed, but give me the laughter of the stream, or of the wind through the trees!!!!"
: I hope he snaps out of it soon....
Hi Ben,
I'm sorry I can't tell you much about Hawkeye's tattoos, but I DO remember discussions of them before - I'd suggest checking the archives or doing a search - I know there is some info here somewhere.
I too heard that DDL was appproached about LOTR and was disappointed he turned it down, but look forward to GONY.
Sorry not more helpful - anybody have more specific info?
