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 can't even.

Even funnier if Astin manages to snag an Oscar nom.

Considering the on-going gangbusters career of C. Feldman esq, I think =suh-nerk= may be the only answer that night.

Like I need a hole in my head

How much do I love this thread?

::opens arms very wide::

THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS MUCH!

I feel so informed now. And it was funnier (and pornier) than reading the Silmarillion.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

My local theatre, the one that hosted Trilogy Tuesday, has cut RotK back to one theatre, and one matinee, one evening show per day. So very sad. DH and I went this afternoon. There were maybe half a dozen people in the theatre besides us.

I missed the cheering. Hell, I even missed the soft susurrus of sobbing across the theatre, the shifting in seats at tense moments, the collective indrawn breath at moments of great peril or great heroism.

I need to see this movie one more time with all of you on this thread.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

A Buffista viewing would be fantastic.

My daughter and I saw it again last weekend and we were both in VERY snarky moods, which gave us both a very different viewing experience from the awe and ahhhh of our first couple of viewings.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

At Raquel's showing of TTT EE, people both snarked amusingly and watched the show with utter enjoyment and respect. It was a wonderful way to watch the film.

move out and draw fire

Hey Anne! Glad you came, and glad you enjoyed it. I think a buffista audience would be great. And I have something for you: a LOTR-themed knit sweater idea.

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

Raq, looks like your link doesn't lead to the actual web page. And I'm dying to see it!
