Well, they were the cutest little orcs ever.

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.
Andy Serkis is on my CNBC right now!
Just got done watching Charlie Rose, where he spent 25 minutes on RotK with Elijah Wood, Sean Astin, and Andy Serkis. A very smart promotion for Academy members to watch (their ballots are due next Saturday), since they first discussed Peter Jackson and why he was a good director on set and his dedication to the pictures, and then went into the visual effects aspects of Gollum, and then the relationship between Frodo and Sam. All of the clips shown (except for the trailer) focused on the Frodo/Sam/Gollum storyline, and were well-chosen for Oscar material for EW and SA. No veering into war discussions, as happened last year with Viggo.
The rest of the hour is being spent with Alec Baldwin, who's shilling for his own BSA nomination for The Cooler.
I caught the Baldwin, missed the earlier part. Dammit.
Something came up, and PJ wasn't able to be in NYC this weekend, meaning that not only did DH not get to interview him yesterday (he still got Serkis, Astin, and Hill), but his live presentation at Lincoln Center tomorrow has been changed to a via-satellite presentation instead.
Bah. (So I'm returning my ticket. I can watch him on TV at home for free, and right now, I need the $100 more.)
Aw man, Jess, that sucks. But hey, extra $100!
What satellite channel, do you know?
What satellite channel, do you know?
Sorry, I was unclear -- he's not appearing on television, he'll be doing the "Conversation with Peter Jackson" from New Zealand via satellite.
Poor JessiMoon. First she gets screwed out her Trilogy Tuesday tix with appearances by hobbits now this.
(he still got Serkis, Astin, and Hill)
Please tell me that by "got" you mean "kidnapped and brought home for the weekend."
That's what I was hoping she meant, amych.
