Riley: Maybe I should just let you rest. Buffy: You sure? I bet if you just lay down with me- Riley: Nothing you are about to say will lead to rest.
'Lessons'
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.

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

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
(It's like the clips are there to make the Academy look foolish for not nominating any of the ACTORS.)
I do think that there are individual actors in the case who are well deserving of a nomination, but more than any one person's performance, what stands out to me is the way they worked as an ensemble.
There should be an Oscar for Best Ensemble and/or Casting Direction.

Yay! The snippets include Gandalf's speech on death! One of my favorites, and one that will probably show up on the Oscars as one of the featured clips (although I wouldn't mind it if they showed Pippen's song as RotK's Best Picture clip).

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

The New York Times has an article about "Traveling in Frodo's Footsteps."

Also, when I clicked on that CNN link, there was a Quick Poll on the same page asking which Best Picture nominee people would vote for if they had a vote.
RotK is winning by 79%. (No surprise, really. I'm sure every LOTR fan site in the universe is linking to that interview, and everyone who stops by has to vote for LOTR.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Have we seen this before? I just ruptured something laughing.

Oh, it's back up! It was linked by TORN last week, and overloaded the bandwidth as a result.
This is hilarious!
His companion, Gimli son of Gloin, had sharper remarks to make upon the chosen nominees. "Mystic River? What madness drew them there? You'll find more cheer in a graveyard!"
But overall the mood was one of mild disgust. As Lord Aragorn put it to reporters, "The day may come when the Academy is able to find their ass with a flashlight. But this is not that day."

Oh, my. I hear every voice.
When asked to clarify his opinion, he told reporters that he had not the heart, for the grief was still too near, and retired for a walk in the forest.
And see every quizzical look.
Sumi! Slacker! I think most of the hobbit boys have a community, plust a general lotr one.
