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.

re: crying hobbits

I noticed Dom tearing up when PJ was accepting the Best Director award. Wanted to hug him. John R-D was there, too. And I was happy Cate Blanchett came on stage with them when they accepted the Best Picture award.

re: sam and frodo's death march

Count me among the skimmers of this. I skim lots of Frodo and Sam walking and I skim Tom Bombadil and various Rivendell stuff everytime I read LotR.

For anyone who missed the Golden Globes, they are on Bravo next weekend, I'm pretty sure.

I hope this works: Howard Shore and Fran Walsh.

(Switched to the IMDB link.)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Fran and PJ need to stop dedicating their awards to dead people. You don't want to pull the moment down.

I'm worried for Dom not getting enough work in Hollywood.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Seems kind of pointless, doesn't it? As is mentioning the fact that they've passed on.

I'm worried for Dom not getting enough work in Hollywood.

I don't think any of them, except perhaps Billy Boyd, will get substantial work after this. A sort of Mark Hamill syndrome. But I would take that life, living well off the returns and investing it in other things, not trying to best that one experience of a lifetime, waiting for the "where are they now" cameras.

Hmm. I disagree. Look at Orlando Bloom already. Or are you just talking about the hobbits?

Dom has one smallish and one biggish British movies coming out in 2004 - Spivs and The Purifiers. It won't make him the next Orlando or anything, but they are both supposed to be pretty hip British gang type movies. So, maybe when industry people seem him as a non-hobbit he'll get more work.

I'd pay to see him take a nap personally, but that's just me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Why Billy?

And I'm assuming you only mean the hobbits. I'd think that Elijah has enough work on his resumé to be able to pull off a future, if he gives it a good old college try.

This was a TORN link to that picture of Howard Shore and Fran Walsh, but since I already linked to the imdb version here is Dom on the red carpet.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'd think that Elijah has enough work on his resumé to be able to pull off a future, if he gives it a good old college try.

Sean Astin too, though I wouldn't be surprised if he moved towards directing instead.
