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.)
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".

I should say that pattern on pattern thing he was wearing in other pictures from the Japanese RotK premiere I've seen.
Aren't there only two major papers in Chicago?? Seems like a lot of critics.
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.
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.
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.
The re-enactment thing weirds me out like hearing about plays where the actors go out into the audience weirds me out. Fourth wall people! It's there for a reason. To give me peace.
Caught a matinee of Last Samurai today. All the horsies lined up in a row to charge, and there was a slo-mo shot of tossing manes and brandished swords and stuff.
No Billy Boyd singing, though.
I've been thinking about EW and SA, and what it felt like to get to the emotional place Frodo and Sam were in, for the weeks it took to shoot from Minas Morgul to Mt. Doom. How do you turn that off at the end of the day? Especially knowing there's another day of it, and worse, tomorrow? Pros, both of them I know, from childhood. Still. It has to be an experience they're glad to be on this side of.
I like "no fourth wall" in certain situations. Sometimes it's obnoxious and/or distracting. Other times it's great and completely adds to the show.
For example, there's a group in Chicago I try to see every couple months that puts on a show that I just can't see working with a fourth wall. Audience reaction and interaction is an essential part of the experience. On the other hand, I've been to shows where the breaking of the 4th wall seems to be simply for it's own sake, or to be "edgy". That I don't care for.
