I know, world in peril and we have to work together. This is my last office romance, I'll tell you that.

Buffy ,'End of Days'


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.

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!!

Oooh. I have Friday off of work--I might go check this theater out.

I can't even.

Wow, he really is ViggoSue. Pretty impressive for a non-fictional character.

Yeah, but, really, whoever wrote him up needs to have a better grasp of character development ;) Darn these real people who can do things.

So, Dominic Monaghan is going to be in a parade tonight?

(Oh, and Viggo was apparently in Chicago yesterday doing publicity for Hidalgo.)

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.

And an interview with Howard Shore about the soundtrack.

Thanks for the link -- I'm trying to convince my brother (who wants to write music for film and tv) to go to the concert tonight. I hadn't realized that Shore is Canadian. Nifty.
