And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?

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.

I recognised the Jackson kids twice. There's no such thing as too much attention.

How in HELL is creepy Viggo #10 and Orlando #76? What sort of world is this we live in?

Also, I spotted PJs kids in RotK, but I still haven't seen PJ himself. I'm sorely disappointed, as I was the one to point him out to other people in the first two movies.

Can somebody tell me where to look for him when I see it next?

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

I think the Corsair ships are shown when Elrond is telling Aragorn why he needs to take Anduril through the Paths of the Dead and go be King. Regardless, PJ is standing in the middle of the deck on one of the Corsair ships, weilding a big whip, in the shot right after the shot of the ships' sails.

Gothmog, the pig-faced Orc commander!

The one with the, um, skin condition? Played by formerly-Lurtz Lawrence Makoare?

The Warg Rider right?

Did you think he was just deformed? Or had he possibly been attacked by a warg?

Who also played the WitchKing, so there was the one scene where he was giving orders to himself.

sumi, I meant the orc commander in RotK, with what looked like the beginnings of neurofibromatosis on his face and his shoulder, who was played by the Lurtz actor/stuntman from FotR, whom someone upthread mentioned was voiced by Craig Parker.

Oh dear. Was that sentence convoluted enough? The warg-rider guy in TTT --who was also the "They look fresssh!" orc (voiced by Andy Serkis, btw)--I always assumed he had indeed been attacked by a warg, what with the claw marks and missing ear, and just stapled back together. The actor, the skinniest guy PJ knows, he says, has been in all PJ's movies, according to the EE TTT extras.
