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.
I think David boreanaz could take a crack at that noggin. I mean, the forehead ridge alone qualifies as an offensive weapon.
(Seriously. I was looking at that big poster-type LOTR photo upthread, and Elijah Wood has a bigger head than Orlando -- and on a smaller body.)

Maybe he has flies in his eyes.
Or a mote.

Pez dispensers, the lot of 'em.
(what does "flies in his eyes" mean?)
On the RotK soundtrack, where does the beacon lighting fit in? Is it The White Tree? I'm having terrible sequencing problems.
Yup, Track 4 (The White Tree).
Track 1 = Smeagol/Gollum prologue.
Track 2 = Gandalf, Merry, and Pippin head for the stables up to Gandalf and Pippin's departure.
Track 3 = Music is shifted around a bit here; beginning is the Orcs landing at Osgiliath, followed by Gandalf driving off the Nazguls, then the music from Gandalf and Pippin arriving at MT.
Track 4 = Beacons.
Track 5 = Charge of the Gondorian Brigade (and Pippin).
Track 6 = What the title says.
Track 7 = I think it's from after Theoden and Eowyn speak at dawn until the Rohirrim break camp (the Shire-y music is the Merry scene).
Track 8 = Arwen's vision of Eldarion.
Track 9 = Frodo and Sam on the stairs ("Go home.")
Track 10 = Aragorn gets a present from his future FIL.
Track 11 = What the title says.
Track 12 = The siege of MT.
Track 13 = The Rohirrim charge at Pellenor.
Track 14 = Aragorn releases the Army of the Dead.
Track 15 = Battle at the Morannon intercut with the slopes of Mt. Doom.
Track 16 = Cracks of Doom.
Track 17 = From Frodo waking up to Sam kissing Rosie (with no cuts that I can tell!)
Track 18 = Gandalf and the hobbits leave Hobbiton for the Grey Havens to the ship sailing.
I'm actually listening to my work copy (as opposed to my actual CD, which resides in my car) right now, and it is, as always, FG!
I've been dividing the tracks into themes. Tracks 2 and 7 = Merry/Rohan stuff, Tracks 3-5 = Gondorian trilogy, Tracks 8 and 10 = Rivendell/Elves, Tracks 12-14 = the Big Battle and aftermath, and Tracks 9, 15, and 18 = Sam/Frodo trilogy (the flute bits from Track 15 are more important than the rest of it). I'm seriously considering making another copy with the tracks in this order, instead of just fast-forwarding through the tracks.
Scenes from the extended RotK. There's a lotta German in here. Whitefont: Grima! Grima and Saruman! It looks like they're doing that scene pretty straight, except killing Saruman at the end.
Dear lord.
I need a Billy Boyd of my very own, and I want him to do acoustic Britney to me while wearing a kilt
forever.
off to look at the scenes
Okay, how much do I love that the only two spoken lines from the new RotK "We won all the Oscars" ad are Aragorn's "You bow to no one," and Gandalf's "Now come the days of the king"?
