I just watched Monday's Las Vegas (well, before Angel) -- did anyone else catch Sean Astin hamming it up big time? It was kind of painful.
You know what they say about payback? Well I'm the bitch.

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Very painful. I taped so I could just fast-forward to his stuff, but I ended up ff-ing through a lot of his stuff, too. Sumi pointed out in WX that he's obviously trying to get all the non-Sam roles he can, and he definitely did that on Monday, but I found his character just too annoying and dimbulb-ish to enjoy.

Strawberry disappointment.
Vaguely interesting article on Elvish.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Beauteous slash avoidance:
"In one film, there was an early scene where the word 'aniron', usually meaning 'I want' - in the sense of wanting a cup of tea - was adapted to mean 'I love' between Aragorn and Arwen, two of the elves.
"So this word now had romantic associations. David Salo, the expert working on the script, had to think of another word to mean 'I want', in case it seemed like one male elf asking another for something later on was mistakenly thought to have amorous intentions.

I can't even.
Aragorn and Arwen, two of the elves.
Arrgh. Plus the pic of Aragorn, used to show an elf. Almost as much of a pet peeve for me as misspelling the author's name, which of course the BBC didn't do.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Isn't Aragorn 1/8th elf or something like that? My knowledge of the whole geneology thing is dim and affected by drink and late hours, but I have some memory of him being a distant cousin of Arwen's. Of course, she's part human, so I guess it could be on that side of things.

Aragorn is all man.
Read that any way you want.
(Okay, like 50 generations back he gets into the elfy territory, but basically, man).
No doubt Nutty will now appear to clarify exactly how many generations back, and who.
