I've said it before and I'll say it again -- I was disappointed that they didn't hew closer to Tolkien's original dialogue for the scene between Eowyn and the Witch King. In interviews they've [Jackson and Boyens] said that the language was too baroque, but they lifted Galadriel's "In place of a Dark Lord, you would have a queen..." almost word for word. I think they could have found something a little closer that still functioned. And with it being one of my favorite scenes in the book, it made for a bit of a let down.
I fell down and got confused. Willow fixed me. She's gay.

One of the things I love about the first half of RotK is when whatever that White Light thing is that goes up in Minas Morgul -- you see Sam and Frodo seeing it right at the Minas Morgul gates, Gandalf and Pippin seeing it from the walls of Minas Tirith and the men at Osgiliath seeing it too.

Man given costume option for slaying dog
December 16, 2006
PAINESVILLE, Ohio --A man who shot his Great Dane in the head may have his jail sentence reduced if he dresses up as a dog.
Municipal Judge Michael Cicconetti offered Thursday to cut Robert M. Clark's sentence to 10 days in jail if he wears a Safety Pup costume and visits the city's five elementary schools. The mascot educates children about issues ranging from traffic safety to drug abuse.
Clark, 38, pleaded no contest to an animal cruelty charge and was sentenced to 180 days in jail for shooting his dog.
Cicconetti suspended all but 30 days of Clark's sentence if he pays the Lake County Human Society for the dog's veterinarian bills. The judge then offered to cut an additional 20 days if Clark dresses up as Safety Pup.
Clark was arrested July 3 after neighbors reported hearing the dog's cries and police found the injured animal. The humane society took the dog to an emergency veterinary clinic, but he suffered brain damage and had to be euthanized, the group said.
Clark is appealing the sentence, court officials said.
Can the parents at whatever school appeal the sentence, because if this were an option in my own community, I really wouldn't want my kids being taught ethics and life lessons by "adults" who obviously need to learn so much, themselves.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Hi kids! I'm Safety Pup! Safety Pup says, 'Never shoot dogs in the head!'
