Do you know what else has blood in it? Blood.

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.

Art Crawl!!!

I hope this works: Howard Shore and Fran Walsh.

"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 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

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

Yes, I meant the hobbits. Sorry for the confusion. But I don't think Orlando's gonna be huge, either. He's just too...vacant. Maybe he'll turn out to have Keanu luck, who knows.

Why Billy? Just a feeling. Elijah will always look precious and his face is just too iconic now. Sean was kind of floundering before this. Dom is not that attractive and, well, his one expression is sort of pissy. Billy just seems to have a character actor's face and a very nuanced range. This is all prefaced by IMHO, natch.
