To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

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.

Yeah, Steph, if you're still feeling larcenous and bump into the latter ...

mmmm, me too.

But my Trilogy poster arrived yesterday!

It's flattening out on my dining room table even as we speak. I'm going to try to find a frame for it over lunch.

What I learned from watching Dom on the Craig Kilborn show last night:

- Dom is indeed very fashion forward. He was wearing like silky scarf thingie that looked like a snake skin and a lovely embroidered shirt. Nice.

- He lost his ID card the night before the Golden Globes and, of course, couldn't get past security because nobody knows who he is.

- Still has no projects in the works but mentioned that it was "pilot season" in LA and he was "talking to people" - he can't want a TV series?? Maybe he was just talking about the series he wants to do with the Discovery channel. I dunno.

- He prefers American girls to British girls. (This statement was made during some blatant attempts to kill the Elijah-and-him-are-gay rumors wherein he managed to wink and smile and say so many affectionate things about Elijah that, of course, he just made it seem more obvious that their love is a pure pure thing).

tina, you're a big old perv. But yeah, as a rumour killer, he wasn't doing a good job.

tina, you're a big old perv.

high praise!!

I don't actually think Dom is gay - (nor do I really care) - but I'm worried about the no projects thing - it's smart of him to keep playing up the only thing that is keeping him on peoples' radar. (I mean other than the fact that he is in an Oscar nominated movie.)

Dom also had a LOT of squealing fangirls in the audience.

Or maybe Dom just appealed to all those Englebert Humperdink fans that were there - we've all heard how psycho the Humperdink fandom is.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Does anyone know if a screener version of Rotk has been put out yet? I would imagine so, given the Oscar thing.
