I think it's telling that I've rewatched FotR on cable whenever I've come across it (weirdly, I almost always hit whatever channel it's airing on during the Moria sequence), yet never went back to the theaters for a second viewing of the other two movies or rented The Two Towers.

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.

From TV Gal's coverage of the Golden Globes:
Moment That Made Me Least Proud of Joan(Rivers): Joan asked Dominic Monaghan of "The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King" if there would be a fourth "Lord of the Rings" movie. Such sad times, Joan.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
I spent yesterday cleaning like mad, and I watched both EE's of TTT and FotR--and found that I liked them in a somewhat different manner when I wasn't watching them with a fiery intensity. I caught things I wouldn't have otherwise, moments that I missed when I was watching for other parts. It pleases me that, after watching these films countless times nigh on three years, I can still find new things to enkoy about them.

SA! Do you have the movie that Lance and Joey are in? I saw it at Half-Price Books today.
(Sorry for the non-LotR natter, but SA happens to be here.)

On the Line? My roommate brought me the VHS version from home with her today. (Did you find that thing?)

Yes, On the Line -- that's funny that she just brought it for you and I just saw it today. You want me to pick up the DVD for you for the extra features? It was $10 or under; possibly $5.
Saw that thing; it's $20. Should we get it? t /cryptic

We should get it, I think. Or at least put it on hold until I get some ready cash. As for OTL, it's really tempting because I'd prefer to have my own copy of the DVD, but the good stuff is actually on the VHS, and the extra features aren't that great. But thank you for offering.

We can hold off on the thing until you have ready cash -- it'll be there. I've seen it there for 6 months, at least. There's more than one.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
This amusing sketch was mailed to me by DH's aunt, who is phenomenally cool. She didn't leave me a note as to where she got it from, though, so I have no idea who this "Gregory" is.
