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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Mostly I just want to see him with hobbit feet.

I can't even.

Ahh. Perhaps he has run down to the entrance to Rivendell, hastily half-dressed? A light rain is falling, and he needs to read a message, so dons Bilbo's glasses?

... and that's a Pantera's box you don't want to open. - Mister Furious

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

Hell, the absence of Lurtz is a negative in any number of movies. Starting with every Star Wars after Empire, and continuing through to The Shawshank Redemption.

Some doof challenged me on my love of Lurtz. I told him to look around my desk, where he's only outnumbered by Legolas, and that's more a function of calendar makers than anything else.

Whee!

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King has become the second film in history to earn more than $1 billion worldwide, reaching that level during its tenth week of release, one week faster than Titanic (which went on to earn $1.8 billion).

More Bacchus pics of Elijah and Dom.

And yet more of Dom.

I've read some entertaining fan encounters on livejournal of people who went to Mardi Gras just to see/meet them as well.

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

Hee! There are few places but this thread where Lurtz gets his due.

I have to say, having heard and read interviews with both Lawrence Makoare and Sala Baker, that I feel more sympatico with Sala ("white light! white light!") than Lawrence. But Lurtz in and of himself is a splendid character.

Guhhhh. Elijah, DAVID FREAKING BOWIE, and Dom. Ahem.

Kay. Sorry, I'm done. (If you are a big Scarlett Johansen fan, there are some of her Elijah and Bowie on the same site.)

eta: the look on Dom's face isn't very guh-worthy, but it is EXACTLY how I would look if I was in a room with Bowie.

Oh my freaking ghod ita, you broke me on the first one. The second one--guh.

And who is that teeny little woman in that sammich and why isn't that me?

Also? I love Lawrence's hei tiki. Sala's greenstone pendant is too dark to make out what it is.
