I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

Dawn ,'Beneath You'


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.

it's awfully amusing just reading the reactions and trying to picture what you all are talking about.

Unless you're as twisted as the people who did it, you probably haven't guessed the half of it.

I feel a need to watch it again.

I also liked seeing Theoden relaxed, you know?

... and that's a Pantera's box you don't want to open. - Mister Furious

I'd like to see someone do something like that with the Viking Kittens.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Well, when the RotK DVDs come out, the Army of the Dead sequences will be available for adaptation. IJS.

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

My lot in life as straight man is still unchallenged....

..."Badgers? We don't need no steenkin' badgers!"

It had to be said.

Ack.

I just watched the Paid Commercial Announcement from New Line, and it made Into The West weepy again by playing over an RotK montage. Fuckers. The montage included a distraught Eomer on the battlefield -- I'm assuming that's Gamling and it'll be in the EE. However, I also noticed distraught armoured up Pippin clutching a wailing Merry -- was that from Pellinor Fields and not in the theatrical either? It wasn't the shot from Gondor.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Oh, I bet that's from the Black Gate, where they learn Frodo's been captured.

Yes, that makes sense. That's what I most want to see back in.

Did I mention how much I love Stephen Fry? I love Stephen Fry.
