No. And yes. It's always sudden.

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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Oh for plane fare to UK!

I do hope that, perhaps next year, since there won't be a new movie to premiere, they run an EE-trilogy in theatres. "Only a fool's hope."

PJ said he's always thought it would be cool to have "actor's cuts" of films as well, and he mentioned that while nothing is in place, he'd like to put out another special edition when HD-DVDs become popular -- he said it'd be a real "filmmaker documentary version", showing deleted scenes, talking about why they'd been cut, blooper reels, audition tapes -- getting into the nitty-gritty of the actual production itself.

oh. my. goddess.

WANT!

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

I must adore PJ for having the vaguest idea that maybe he hadn't put enough behind the scenes content in the EEs.

It's true -- so sweet. . . if we think that we're obsessed -- not as much as he is, right?

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.

Are we going to get any sort of gag reel on the RotK EE? Any rumours?

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

"His pants! I told you to take the wizard's pants!"

Or have we moved on?

Never!

What about:

"Those pants are evil."

TOR.N has T-shirts available:

The back of the "lousy" shirt reads: "I WAS...chased from my house, stabbed by a wraith, assaulted by a mutant octopus, speared by a troll, stalked by a creepy little man, drawn into a corpse-filled swamp, poised by a giant spider, rendered unconcious...I even lost my Ring, AND ALL I GOT WAS THIS LOUSY T-SHIRT."

On the front of both shirts is the TheOneRing.net logo while the back of the 'One Evil Wizard' shirt says: "Immediate Opening: ONE EVIL WIZARD preferably powerful, for FT management position with well established group.
