Well, that'll teach me to say things without looking them up in the Appendices first. I'd just assumed that Gimli had to be born post-Hobbit because otherwise, he would have been included on the trip.
Fire bad. Tree pretty.

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.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
I actually have some vague memory of him complaining about not getting to go - either on that trip or on the attempt to resettle Moria - because he was too young. I'm not motivated enough to try to find it, though. (The ages were easy. Yay, family trees!)

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Well, you can't take a whole army of dwarves with you, when you go tramping around Rhovanion. Kind of conspicuous. Also, he would need a rhyme-y partner to go with him -- only the kings of dwarves get away with not having a rhyme-y partner.
showed Hugo Weaving in a blond wig. It was positively hideous.
Er, my (admittedly vague) memory of Hugo Weaving is that he is blond. Or anyway, sandy-haired. Although NSM with the long and Pantene-ed locks.

In Priscilla, (when he wasn't in drag), his hair was a kind of highlight-y medium brown. It looked natural to me, but it's been a while since I've seen it.

I cannot tell you how much it hurt my brain to see Priscilla for the first time in several years, after Matrix had come out.
I was sitting there, already knowing Terrence Stamp was in it, then Guy's Character came onscreen and I was all like "Hey, Guy Pierce, cool! He was nobody out here when I first saw this movie, how cute. Wait a minute.... How come that other guy is so familliar? Where do I know him from? He's so famil... Oh. My. God."
It was pretty funny.
