"Spontaneous violent love"

I was watching part of the extended version of Two Towers when I woke up from my unconcious spat. (Note: I work night shifts, so when I got home this morning at noon, I pretty much knocked myself out.) There was this bit about the stunt people. The stunt people are pretty awesome guys and they worked not 100% but more like 150% for literally 14 months. Most of them black belts, one an olympic wrestler, and just plain amazng people. People you'd find on on the series of Herc or Xena because most of them were Kiwis.
Anyway, it got to this part where they were talking about Viggo M. and how he worked with the stunt people. Since he worked so hard he became very close to many of the stuntmen and women. And then it happened.
"Whack!"
A good headbutt.
Elijah Wood has seen this phenomenon of meeting people, telling them an endearing thing or two, and then smacking your head against the one you've just met... he called it "Spontaneous violent love."
What a great way to explain it.
If you aren't sure where this part is... it's right at the beginning....you'll see the burning orange chair and the bearded Rohan women soon after that.
