Damn, did you just make my day.
I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

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

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

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.

Return of the King won four BAFTAs this evening, including Best Film. Huzzah!
Did I mention how much I love Stephen Fry? I love Stephen Fry.

Oh, me too, ita. It will help rectify the rampant stupidity of the military strategy there.

It does have the most effects leaking over the movie -- moreso than Saruman's sudden disappearance. Going back too see RotK after I heard it had been filmed its absence screamed.

I want the two scenes mentioned above in the EE, too. Plus Merry swearing fealty to Theoden, which clip I've seen in "making of" shows and in trailers. Also, Angmar on the fell beast confronting Gandalf and Pippin on Shadowfax in the street in Minas Tirith. It was in the trailers, I didn't dream it.
