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.
we needed all of: a) theatrical release dvds, cause they come out soonest, b) extended release dvds, cause extended!, c) trilogy box set, cause that's the actual product, and possibly any d) collectors editions, cause figurines!
Well, I dunno about figurines. I'm surviving without them okay, but that could be just me. I've taped or rented all the fifth disc stuff from the platinum sets, because we just got the TEs and the EEs--but you really have to have those, don't you? At a minimum? Because, different extras on each set, yeah? I wonder if the trilogy will have more!different!extras than were on the previous editions? Deleted scenes! Alternate scenes! Bloopers! Auditions! More and different geeky making-of stuff! Precious!
I want a set that has the theatrical
and
extended versions.
I almost bought the TEs the other day... found them used for $11 (FOTR) and $14 (TTT). I talked myself out of it because I am POOR, but... payday on Friday, yo. If they're still there, they're mine.
Dom Alert: Tonight Jimmy Kimmel live ABC (12:05am/11:05pm Central).
UGH. I HATE Jimmy Kimmel. The sacrafices one makes when one is obsessed with a certain hobbit...I actually listened to the Loveline that Dom guested on and it was worth it just to hear him call American football "armored catch" and thus make that Adam Corrolla (or whatever his name is - the guy who isn't the Dr.) totally lose it.
I listened to Loveline for an actor. Let us never speak of it again.
A co-worker just came over to tell me that him and his five year old were listening to Steward Of Gondor, and he asked her who was singing it.
Gandalf? Gimli? Legolas? Aragorn?
Apparently she went through most of the cast (including Saruman, which disturbed him), but never got to Pippin.
What a cutie. She's seen all the movies, loves FotR the most.
It was also determined that Lurtz is kinda the Boba Fett of Middle Earth.
My loins concur mightily.
I don't know if you all have heard of this site,LotR Research, but apparently a UK research project is looking for people to fill out a questionnaire about the RotK film experience.
Lots of great FYC ads have finally been posted over at Oscarwatch.com.
Sam and Elanor
"Caught in a web...soon you will be eaten."
Theoden and Eowyn
Something new in this one. IIRC, isn't Pippin supposed to be looking over his new uniform here? Why is he in bed in the picture?
The numbers (my favorite one is "550 hours of behind-the-scenes footage shot on set"--they can produce DVD documentaries until kingdom come!)
I'm not sure is somebody linked to this before, but it bears repeating anyway.
Bwah!
eta: Slutting the year I was born!
Sweet
.
The cap in Kathy's fourth link is the RotK clip in my triptych frame from Trilogy Tuesday. Of course it's so tiny I never saw Pippin in bed--I barely made out Gandalf.
