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.

My fave: Billy at the CC awards - the open-shirted tux and the beard? Very nice.

and he is looking very noble as well

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

Prettiest Legolas ever.

Oh, Billy, my Billy.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

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

So very, very wrong.

<whine> If it's already cut together, why do we have to agonise until November to get it? wahhh! </whine>

I can too close that tag. I reserve the right to reopen it at any time, however.

Thrive to spite them

A few days ago I found a Willow/Legolas vid, it's set to a country song. I downloaded it wondering exactly how one edited together such a vid. Unfortunatly I don't have the codec to actually play the vid.

Jess, it's true!

I need to find those pics.

Askye -- do you have a link to that vid?

Ah... Cut together does not mean the digital effects on the new sections are done, nor that the score or sound has been added, so if they were to release the cut right now, all the new scenes that had any effects in them would feature actors talking to empty space, or perhaps even scenes of nothing at all, and none of the new scenes would have any music or sound effects.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

...and not-finished product like that can be weirdly awesome. (Or it can totally suck. I saw a screener of the Jodie Foster voice X-Files episode -- Never Again -- before Jodie had come in and recorded the voice, and the person reading her lines was awful.)

Suddenly remembering that for months in the TTT cut, something like "surreal galaxy shit" writ on a black screen was all there was for Gandalf's vision of having died and returned on the mountain. They did get around to filling it in eventually.
