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.
Mal: And I never back down from a fight. Inara: Yes, you do! You do all the time!

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.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
See, see, this is why we needed the scouring. The emotional, character impact, not-action-driven stuff all lives there. And it has the hurt on. And you know how we all love the pain.

The winners were informed ahead of time, so Jackson sent in a tape of his acceptance speech that he filmed while on a roller coaster. The members of the cast that were in the audience whose reactions were seen on TV were saying, "That's so like him."

Looks like one of the artists who's a regular contributor to The New Yorker.

FYI - these are on in the AM. It's an Oscar-riffic weekend on Bravo - lots of specials about all the nominated movies and actors. Including Johnny Depp's Inside the Actors Studio. Yay. (Even though I have to mute it AND look away when Jampes Lipton is on the screen then keep checking back to see when the actor starts talking again - but for Depp, it is worth it.)

Also, Peter Jackson is on Charlie Rose tonight, and Annie Lennox is on the Tonight Show (schedule conflict between the two for me, so I'm sticking with PJ).

Peter Jackson is on Charlie Rose tonight,
Really???? YAY! I had no idea. Must be home and in front of TV at 10:30. I didn't set the VCR. I don't see any other guests listed, so he might get the whole hour.
