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.

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.

And he needs to be convinced?
I have a friend who's seriously considering going to Columbus to see it there.

Well, he never answered my original email telling him about the concert. He's not a good email communicator. I think he might be working, which would be too bad.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Bacchus? I dunno; it doesn't seem right, somehow. The god of wine and revelry should be older, and joyfully, seriously debauched.
Now, Ian McKellen as Bacchus -- that, I could get behind.

Well, Bacchus did sometimes get conflated with Dionysus, who was young, dark, pretty and androgynous.

Pfeh. Dionysus was a fratboy amongst gods.

Nay, not! He's sneaky and slithered in from Persia and bumped some boring Greek goddess off Olympus (Hestia - now that's Pfeh.) See, he's syncretic, and that's always cooler.
