I'm just a little frightened to go see it again, because of the pants game applied to Theoden's pre idiocycharge speech.
I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Aha! Here are some.
Faramir! Your pants love you! They will remember it before the end.
It is but a shadow of my pants that you love.
The very warmth of my pants seems stole away.
Very useful in a tight spot, these pants, even if they are dead.
And why should your songs be unfit for my pants?
The stars are veiled. Something is stirring in the pants; a sleepless malice.
Bring me pants & oil!
Do not come between a Nazgul & his pants!
Pippin: So I imagine this is just a ceremonial position. I mean, they don't actually expect me to do any fighting. Do they?
Gandalf: You're in the pants of the steward now. You're going to have to do as you're told.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
And why should your songs be unfit for my pants?
I think I prefer "And why should your pants be unfit for my halls?"

I can't even.
This was good:
Theoden: I go to my fathers in whose mighty pants, I shall not now feel ashamed.
This one should have been:
Denethor: Fealty with love, valoUr with honoUr, _pants-breaking_ with vengeance.
But PJ screwed it up.
ETA: the proper Us

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Aragorn: Gondor calls for pants!
[pause]
Theoden: And Rohan will answer!

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

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Sampling was not without problems, chief of which was sporadic contamination caused by downdrafts from the wings of the Nazgûl’s vile beasts as they passed along the flight corridor over the Marshes.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!

Oh, god, I'm dying.
