I said I'm sorry. I've made mistakes, but fear was never one of them.

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.

Yes, but why would they use a ram in Minas Tirith?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Something to do with the horn that Boromir carried that I can't think of the name of? That washed up on the shore split in twain. That might have been made from a ram's horn, no?

It's an extremely thin connection to Gondor, though.

Sumi, canonically both those scenes should be in Minas Tirith. But it's the movie, so anything goes.

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 am sorry that they won't have the Bergil/Ioreth/Aragorn scene. I adore snippy-about-his-education Aragorn.

move out and draw fire

Somewhere I read that the second one was from the start of ROTK, and is about Eowyn's desire to fight (it's not the International House of Healing). First one's gotta be Minas Tirith.

How many Peter Jackson’s does it take to change a lightbulb?
Three. One to change it, the other to have the new bulb fall dramatically off a cliff, smash and die offscreen, and the last one to rewrite this sentence so the lightbulb didn’t actually smash and die, but just to make the audience think it did.

BWAH!!

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

So, someone on my LJ Flist was bored and decided to fool around with texts/lines from LotR by substituting random words with "pants". I am either addled from staying up too late or am eight-years-old like Jane, because this is making me laugh like a hyena.

Examples;

Gondor has no pants. Gondor needs no pants.
A shadow and a threat have been growing in my pants.
It is an army bred for a single purpose: to destroy the pants of men.
I told you to take the Wizard's pants!
Abandon your pants! Run for your lives!

...and so on.

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

Still, none of those can beat "There is a shadow and a threat growing in my pants" from FotR.

Also a transcript of Sean Astin's appearance on The View and here is another chance for Californios to meet Viggo.
