something like "now here I am with Clint Eastwood and Al Pacino" -- BB's adorable!
Mal: Ready? Zoe: Always.

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.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
I popped an email to theonering.net, and the caption's been fixed on their site. YAY!
In fairness to Sean, remember this was a UNION function, even if it's televised internationally. And runaway production is a very large problem for SAG. The folks in that room, not directly. But the bit players who are the bulk of the union's membership are getting hosed to the extent that many more of them cannot qualify for health coverage, for example.
Studios will continue to do that as long as they can. The above the line players in that room have much more power to combat that than the day players.
Uncomfortable to acknowledge? Absolutely. That's not necessarily a bad thing.
So, I don't agree that it was inappropriate for either Tim Robbins or Sean Astin to mention the issue. Ironic in Sean's case, but the main problem was not just making the point and graciously moving on.

I totally think it was an approrpriate place for both of them to talk about unions and it is clearly an important issue for their profession.
I have Astin issues from the TTT audio commentary. He is just such a rambler. I appreciate the depth of thought he puts into his comments - but man - he can go on. And I always get uncomfortable when award accepters stray from the usual speeches - and that is my issue really.
At least he recognizes the fact that he is mockable and doesn't let that stop him.

Yes, he does tend toward the overearnest sometimes.
ETA: Ooh, content and a slut bonus. YAY!!!

Yes, my Sean issues also probably stem from the TTT commentary -- you think he's a hobbit -- but he's really and ent!

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

Yeah, this was my problem, too, not the up-bringingness of the issue. John Noble is a handsome, handsome man. So is Hill--and both their voices are shiver-worthy.

Web site Las Horas Perdidas reports that the Hidalgo star is up for the leading role of Capitán Alatriste together with Y Tu Mama Tambien hunk Gael García Bernal
Holy beautiful men combo. GGB is such a hunk. And Viggo. Together. Mmmmm.
Also - today Dom and Elijah are supposed to do the Mardi Gras float parade thing. On a Hobbit-themed float! Want pictures.

Wacky. Shooting it in Spanish? Huh. Go Viggo.
And here I was hoping it was a movie of The Captain from Castile or something.
