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?

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.

Some of the better RotK SAG pics:
Everyone sneeks a peek up Billy's kilt.
Liv's lipstick matches her dress.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
God, I love that wee hobbit man.

Doesn't it look like John Noble has his hand on Billy's ass in that first pic?

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti
According to MTV news, the LOTR box set is going to include audition tapes of actors who failed to make it into the cast, among them Vin Diesel and Kylie Minogue. Couldn't they cast Vin as a cave troll?

Strawberry disappointment.
Or Treebeard. Cue wooden acting gags.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I'm curious as to which role Kylie auditioned for.

Hmh. See, I don't think of Vin Diesel as all that bad. I'm a huge fan of Pitch Black. He strikes me as very Rutger Hauer-ish in that he's not unskilled as an actor, he just picks really crappy movies to be in.
LoTR wise, he'da made a good Uruk Hai, or one of the wild men.

Oh, damn. He'd have been a brilliant Uruk Hai. I think the absence of Lurtz (or a Lurtzalike) was a negative in TTT.
