How did that happen?
Was he in kilts?
So that's my dream. That and some stuff about cigars and a tunnel.

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".

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You're really not helping matters.

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

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
From Slate's movie club on Monday:
In any case, I'm told that Ian McKellan, a most uncloseted performer, was calling himself Gandalf the Gay on the set and trying to get the hobbits, Pippin and Mary—sorry, I mean Merry—to kiss goodbye. The queer stuff is actually more resonant in X2 (an underrated if overlong movie) in which McKellan is far campier.

My sigh might as well have been for that, the big old enabling pervert.
One of the specials last night described Pippin's main motivation as "getting back to Merry". How shippy.

Keep breathing!
I saw a mention earlier of Jackson doing a Hitchcock and appearing briefly in each movie - is he visible in the theatrical version DVDs of FOTR and TTT? That's all I've got to work with. Can someone tell me where/when he appears? Thanks!
Signed, Still waiting to see ROTK, but enjoying this thread 'cause I'm re-reading the book right now.

Yes -- he's in the battle at Helm's Deep in TTT, and he's in Bree in FotR.

I had a terrible vision of Pippin with his hair in two short ponytails on top of his head, and I need it gone.
Oh lordy. Now I do, too.
Maybe a Non-Pippin pic will help
and he's in Bree in FotR.
You can tell it's him by the carrot he is munching on.
