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.

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".

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.

I think so -- because I believe I saw a screencap from it somewhere.

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.
Seriously? Ouch. That must really hurt, especially with nearly everyone else from the movies being such big celebs these days.

Well, the people from the production offices were trying to get him past security -- but security wasn't having it.
JessPMoon, is this in line with your assessment of the Trilogy?
(From the The Toronto Star.)
Mortensen is a man of carefully chosen words and strongly held convictions about integrity and honesty. He's proud of his work in The Lord Of The Rings, and he's a staunch defender of the trilogy, but he candidly states that the first film, The Fellowship Of The Ring, was the one where the acting counted for the most.
"Especially the extended version.
"There was more of a balance between the special effects and the fantastical and the subtle and human interactions.
"I think with the second movie and the third and the final part, the direction went from balancing that more towards the broader brush strokes in terms of performance and emotion, and very much towards special effects."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I think that's a fair assessment, yes. Especially the "broader brush strokes" part.

From the History News Network a draft Aragorn campaign.
(I nabbed this from Readerville's Tolkien thread.)

I can't even.
From that link you posted, sumi, I followed to this one:
"And observe the map device here — how the map is itself completely Gondor-centric. Rohan and Gondor are treated as though they are the literal center of Middle Earth. Obviously this is because they have men living there."
Okay, more. Sheer genius here:
Well, you know, it would be manifestly difficult to believe in magic rings unless everyone was high on pipe-weed. So it is in Gandalf's interest to keep Middle Earth hooked.
