Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

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".

Art Crawl!!!

My Viggo Mortensen book came in yesterday -- at the beginning are two little pictures of (I assume) Viggo as a boy.

One a very young Viggo on a goat entitled "Stor Viggo" -- and the other of three young boys on horseback in front of a bunch of herefords where Viggo is called "lille" Viggo.

Are "stor" and "lille" Danish for something like small, little, baby?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

According the the online Danish dictionary I just checked, "lille" means small, and "stor" means big.

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

Why is he on a goat? Are people allowed to sit on goats? Or are there special Danish riding goats?

See, I am pissed that all the acting was glossed over, but ... I'm happy in the end.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

CLEAN SWEEP!!!

Oh yeah.

I believe that we will take the non-sinking sheep of love and will go far away to the ocean...

and let me add a fuck yeah. I only stayed up this late to watch my hobbits win big. I'm so very, very happy for all of them!

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

I loved that. I don't think I've ever watched through the whole Awards, but I had to see it win Best Picture.

Tied both Ben-Hur and Titanic for 11 wins . . . but those films had 12 and 14 nominations, respectively. RotK made the biggest Oscar sweep ever.
