LotR - The Return of the King: "We named the *dog* 'Strider'".  

Frodo: Please, what does it always mean, this... this "Aragorn"? Elrond: That's his name. Aragorn, son of Arathorn. Aragorn: I like "Strider." Elrond: We named the *dog* "Strider".

A discussion of Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King. If you're a pervy hobbit fancier, this is the place for you.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

The EE DVDs, one fervently hopes.

Where did the elephant army come from, what is its origin?

From the lands to the south of Mordor-- Near and Far Harad. And I suspect the men riding them were much more cocky than the orcs because they were riding giant elephants, and the orcs were not.

I know I'd be more cocky when riding a giant elephant, though I'd worry if I saw a girlie elf-dude anywhere on the battlefield.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

He was NOT girlie.

Except in the elegant killer sense of the word, I suppose.

Metrosexual elf-dude.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

You can't be a metrosexual when you're crushing on the King to Be and accepting the marriage proposal of your dwarven lovemuffin.

IJS.

Big *gay* elf-dude, but not girly.

"I know I'd be more cocky when riding a giant elephant, though I'd worry if I saw a girlie elf-dude anywhere on the battlefield."

How true, in a way.

The way Jackson portrayed Legolas in the trilogy, we get treated to at least two acts of badassery from that man. In LOTR, we get introduced to rapid-fire archery and the ability to see far off into the distance. Then in 2T, we get treated to precision engagement standoff rapid-fire archery and equestrian stunts. Then in this movie he takes on the elephant.

Was I the only one having a Hoth battle flashback during the fight against the big elephants, with riders of Rohan being the snowspeeders and the elephants the AT-ATs?

I have reached high geekdom with this post. Somebody behold that.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

See above: "Did we learn nothing from the invasion of Hoth?"

The evil is this way?

That's a big geekdom. None of my friends has a geekdom that big.

Pfft.

Found (but haven't looked at) the Gimli/Legolas (no not like that!) clip that was on the National Geographic special but (thankfully) not in RotK. I really hope it pops up on the EE, though.
