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.

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.

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

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.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.

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.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

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.

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

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.
