I saw this morning on CNN that RotK won the Chicago Critics film of the year award. I also saw that there are 45 members of the Chicago Film Critics Assoc. Aren't there only two major papers in Chicago?? Seems like a lot of critics.

'Objects In Space'
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.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
they tried out having Frodo partway-transformed-to-Gollum makeup.
And he looked like he really enjoyed those teeth. I mean, no less so than the airbrush they used to make him veiny and gross, but he was showing off the teeth with great elan.
Agreed that it wouldn't really work in the movie. There is such a thing as too much explicitness, and I'm glad Jackson can sometimes pull back on the reins.

What is Elijah wearing?
I think he did that print himself. . . .at least it's not that pattern on pattern thing he had on in the pictures from Japan.
(Also, ear-wormed with "Into the West" . . . luckily it doesn't make me cry.)

I should say that pattern on pattern thing he was wearing in other pictures from the Japanese RotK premiere I've seen.

Two major dailies. Lots of weeklies in both the city and suburbs, as well as critics for most of the local TV and radio stations, a few magazines, and don't forget that there are still quite a few national magazines that are headquartered here.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Looking for a Gollum photo to use on a website mockup...found this instead.
My first thought upon seeing that was "Damn! Fiona Apple's skin is reeeally bad up close."

Apparently, they has a ceremony at the Zojoji Temple in Tokyo where they reinacted the scene at Mount Doom.
And this is the crazy pattern on pattern he was wearing before.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
But he still has all his fingers.

"Damn! Fiona Apple's skin is reeeally bad up close."
Poor man. At age 23, he's only just gotten over being called a moppet, and already he's been accused of looking like Fiona Apple and Michael Jackson. Which, on some thought, they're actually the same accusation.
