Heehee: Return of the King with hand puppets!
We're deep in space, corner of No and Where.

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.

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.

I watched TTT with a not-having-seen-it-before friend last night and she could not understand why I was laughing my head off at "They are taking the hobbits to Isengard!" It was, of course, because in my head the line was "They are taking the pants to Isengard!"

Twelve BAFTA noms for RotK. Not bad at all, methinks.
Cold Mountain got thirteen though, so the judges may have been having psychotic breaks when they voted. Oh well.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
RotK took "Producer of the Year" at the Producer's Guild awards.
So far in the history of the PGAs, the winners of movie producer of the year have gone on to see their films take Best Picture at the Academy Awards (news - web sites) 10 out of 14 times.

Longish (for CNN.com) interview with Sean Astin.
Also - can this be right? I read that today is the premier of RotK in Japan. Seems a bit...late. Is it because it takes them so long to translate it for sub titles?

Well, I saw somewhere else that the premiere in India was delayed. . . let me see if I can find that story.
