Until I was not allowed to hear the words "Begone foul Dwimmerlaik, Lord of Carrion, leave the dead in peace," come out of Miranda Otto's mouth.

Yes, this. I used to be able to recite Eowyn's lines from that scene from memory.

Do not stand between me and my dead.

Yep, saw the thread over there, will go be pestersome over there.

I quibble with some of the changes, sometimes seriously - but all in all, this is absolutely, without a doubt, the best we could get without a line-reading of the book (which I own the unabridged version of; it clocks in at 63 hours, and I'm probably one of a dozen people on the planet who will bother).

Anyway: off to the other thread. :)

Until I was not allowed to hear the words "Begone foul Dwimmerlaik, Lord of Carrion, leave the dead in peace," come out of Miranda Otto's mouth.

I was really disappointed in how her big scene played out.

"Begone if you be not deathless!"

Some of the best poetry of the books is her standing over Theoden's corpse and daring all comers to try and take him away from her.

I like Arwen. Her scenes give me a chance to go to the bathroom and get snacks. A great service when I was seeing the movies in the theater.

One of my ex-boyfriends learned the Elvish alphabet and used to write me letters in it. Why yes, I can still read and (if I really thought about it) write them. It's a little freaky.

Still waiting for the Ultimate Geek Wedding. A mixed service half in Klingon / Half in Elvish.

Imagine the Wedding Photos

Imagine the Wedding Swordfights.

He also renamed me with an Elvish name which he persisted in calling me all the time, and he accidently broke my nose during a SCA-style sword fight. Is it worth mentioning that this was not the healthiest relationship I've ever been in?

Depends on the name, I guess.

I think it was the whole "being named by someone else" thing rather than choosing a name yourself. I was only 19 and thought he was mysterious. As a teenager, it's easy to confuse "mysterious" with "weird and controlling".
