Oh, that would be SO MUCH FUN.

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".

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

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!

Thanks! The page has been bookmarked for contemplation of future fiber mayhem.

A couple of LotR downloads:
The AMC Trilogy Tuesday short.
Elijah Wood, Sean Astin, and Andy Serkis on the Charlie Rose show--sound only, unfortunately.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I finally saw it, now I have to go back and read all the white-font that I didn't read before. Unfortunately, I read some and wish I hadn't. I think some of the big moments would have been better as a surprise.
So yeah, the beacons, Pippin singing, the signal fires were good. Catching the brief glimpse of Jackson was good. But the stuff that really stirred my blood was the ride of the Rohirrim. When they were mustering in Rohan and when they arrived at the battle. Love the horsey people!
ETA: I also forgot to mention that I watched the Shelob scenes with my glasses off and my hands on my face and tried to only see Frodo or Sam. And I missed most of the credits because I was crawling around on the floor looking for my missing, small, black purse.
