OK, you guys can have my share of it then.
Do I wish I was somebody else right now. Somebody not... married, not madly in love with a beautiful woman who can kill me with her pinkie!

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Who was the elf that's telling Arwen last call for the Havens? He was hot. No Legolas (what scares me is that current incarnation of Mr. Bloom is far prettier, but some of those Legolas shots threatened to bleach celluloid with their glory) but pretty.

Get the fuck out of town! Of course, now I have no idea how to find the one I thought was Figwit and ask who he is.
Gimme a sec.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Re: Aragorn and Eowyn,
Every time someone mentions their crypoints it makes me cry again. Possibly I should not have spent an hour listening to the soundtrack and sobbing in my room this afternoon.
Kate is me, including the whitefont re: Aragorn and Eowyn.
Oh, and when Sam gets up to go talk to Rosie at the Green Dragon? From the faces of the other hobbits, I thought he had just grabbed her and started kissing her--they all looked like they were thinking "oh, time to look away now." Anyone else get this impression?
Yes, that's what I got.
Kathy, about Billy Boyd making up the tune? Fucking incredible. And I also agree about the music as Frodo crawls desperately up Mount Doom--that flute line is so gorgeous.
Also with the agreeing.
Oh, hey, and dogs at Meduseld! Or at least a dog.
I know! I was surprised into pointing at the screen and saying "Dog!" out loud. The people I was with hadn't been here for that conversation, so they thought me master of the obvious, and were a little concerned at that point. Fortunately, they were quickly distracted by the pretty movie. And did no one else but me love the flaming rhino ram? I thought it was hysterical and, you know, frightening, all at the same time.

I was wondering if that was Figwit, but wasn't sure.
Victor, San Diego's reviewer might've hated it more.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
ita, that was Figwit!
I was so happy they gave him a line!

Ohmigawd, they brought Figwit back? Coolness!
Raquel, I noticed the dog as well!
One more thing:
* I missed the "Legolas sees the ocean for the first time" moment that they should have put on film if they have any sense.

Beverly, about the flaming ram -- that was supposed to be a *boar*, and it was called "Grond" after the Hammer of the Underworld. And yes, terrible and funny and destructive as all hell.
