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.

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.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
Wacky. Shooting it in Spanish? Huh. Go Viggo.
And here I was hoping it was a movie of The Captain from Castile or something.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Shooting in a foreign language -- had a moment of hysterical laughter, before I remembered that Viggo actually does speak Spanish. Then I had a moment of bash-head-on-keyboard when I remembered his Spanish isn't that good.
Then I remembered this is Viggo. Surely he'll have memorized the Collegiate Spanish-English dictionary by the time shooting starts.

He's probably already enrolled in Spanish-immersion classes. Next stop will be writing poetry in the language.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
No doubt he'll be bringing home a spanish-speaking horse.

BTW, I saw an ad for a new movie theatre in Elgin -- it's supposed to have the biggest screen in the midwest.
RotK is playing there. . . at least this week.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I remembered his Spanish isn't that good.
Really? The Spanish language interview I read with him had a very impressed interviewer.
However, it looks like they're assembling a mismash of accents.
edit:
Next stop will be writing poetry in the language.
He already does.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
Isn't Viggo's Spanish supposed to be good, just very Argentinian, to the point where some Argentines can pinpoint what street he lived on?
No doubt he'll be bringing home a spanish-speaking horse.
BWAH!!
