Seems like everyone's got a tale to tell.

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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

That's right.

The pictures, the spelling, all of it. Very right.

Hmmm, ita, somebody from Orlando Daily has multiple pictures on her website including one of (it looks like) Hector helping a wounded Paris off the field.

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

You wouldn't happen to have a link, would you?

And is it Paris? (I thought so for sure at first glance, but looking at it again -- I'm not so sure.)

Looks like Paris. There's an abortive duel at one point between Menelaus and Paris, I think.

I wonder if they're gonna make Paris the wuss he is, or if they'll Orlando-ify the character.

It could be. May 14th, right? Damn.

I think Eric Bana's doing a great job so far -- I completely feel for his put-uponness at the trouble silly Paris has gotten him into, based only on, what, two lines.

So far, based on nothing, he certainly seems to be a lovesick sop, but I think I saw him in one fight scene in the trailer, smashing someone with a shield.

It's a hard choice. On one hand, accuracy. On the other, Orlando in a skirt beating people up. All you really need to do is add eyeliner and sex with another guy, and it would be the best movie ever.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Sob. Poor Astyanax, and Cassandra, and Hector, and... sob!

I'm guessing Helen really is just going to run off with Paris, rather than being handed to him by Aphrodite.
