(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.

Oh, thank you!

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"?

Yeah, I saw that new ad, too. The smart thing they did at the end was say, "Check out our website, so you can catch up on what you need to know if you're late to the party and haven't seen the first two films," or words to that effect. Most of the scenes in that ad were ones that they didn't reveal until after the film came out (Sam carrying Frodo, Sam coming home and picking up Elanor, the Grey Havens, the coronation).

Heh. That's one of those things where you post and then promptly realize that you've told the most inward of in jokes, as you're the only person on earth who knows why you said it.

Originally, it was a line from Catch-22. IIRC, it was pretty much a throwaway thing for one character to say to another without explaining himself in order to be strange and off putting. Over time, I started using it to describe people like my old boss from the pharmacy, who though not particularly threatening in any way, have an tend to inspire a quick assessment of what makeshift weapons might be about, and who's closer to any given one. Whew. As I believe I said earlier, heh.

Umm, no Houses of Healing?

I thought that they filmed the Houses of Healing?

(That was just a spec site wasn't it?)
