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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

(well, I spent the first hour flipping back and forth between it and The Frighteners on SciFi)

t utterly fails to come up with a clever way of mentioning that PJ directed that too

Actually, I'm guessing that this is the same misunderstood quote that's happened every single year that these movies have been out.

Hmph. Spoilsport.

Yep, I was making my own Jackson semi-double feature! I did pretty good in the last half of 2003--saw three Jackson movies for the first time (Frighteners, Heavenly Creatures, and RotK). Still have not seen his early stuff (Brain Dead/Dead Alive or Meet the Feebles), and to be quite blunt, am not too sure if I want to.

Oh, and in 2003 I also tuned into the first part of the remake of Psycho (turned it off after Anne Heche went belly-down on the side of the tub--color and the lack of Anthony Perkins completely ruined this movie), as well as saw A Walk on the Moon, A Perfect Murder, and most of GI Jane (loved the first, meh on the second, really meh on the third) for Viggo.

I tried to watch Dead Alive, and didn't make it past the first half-hour -- it was making me so very, very nauseous. I haven't made it through all of Meet the Feebles yet either.

A lesser-known (but available on Netflix) PJ that I highly recommend is Forgotten Silver, a mockumentary he did for NZ public television. It's the most brilliant thing EVER.

Sorry. Sorry. I take it back.

Probably helps if you're familiar with film history including Who Are The Lumiere Brothers? and Why Should I Give A Shit About that Klan-luvin' D.W. Griffith?

Who Are The Lumiere Brothers?

I'm assuming not the dancing candlestick from Beauty and the Beast, along with his kinsmen.
