I like the eccentricity -- keeps him from being too Viggo-Sue.
(And yay me with the nice number earlier!)

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".

Viggo continues to weird me out. I'm sure he's great, and it's just a me issue, but still.
On the other hand, Billy comes across as incredibly warm and gracious.

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

As mentioned a while back, I gave my daughter the books for Christmas and then stole them back to read. I tore through the first two, but I find myself reading RotK at a snails pace. Even though I know what happens (at least the movie version), I don't want the story to end. I want to read the Scouring of the Shire and know what y'all are talking about, but yet....I don't want to be hasty.

Andy Serkis will be in Salt Lake on the 14th, doing a reading from the Gollum book and signing things.

I'm just going to sit here quietly and squee.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Btw, did everybody see Rob in the Get Fuzzy comic strip wearing a WETA t-shirt in the last week?
Okay, I've tried to figure it out, after how many times it's been mentioned, but....what the hell is WETA?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

An unusually large insect from New Zealand, or the company that did all the effects for the LotR movies.

Thanks for all the fish.
A large cricket. Or, more germaine to the conversation, the special effects company that PJ started and which did the effects for the movies.
