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.
(what does "flies in his eyes" mean?)
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?)
If they don't have the Houses of Healing, how are they going to do Eowyn meeting Faramir?
I don't think that site is an official or complete guide -- I recognize bits of stuff from specials, and they don't go any further than the special (like the Legolas/Gimli drinking game) although it's apparent there's further relevant footage.
RE the Houses of Healing: There was a shot in there that was clearly Aragorn healing Faramir.
Yes, that Swiss site did mention the Houses of Healing (just not in very great detail). Something about
Aragorn finding that he can heal Merry, Pippin, Eowyn and Faramir and that E and F get to know each other a little better.
Jess, I keep having "It's Lothlorien that did it to him. Before they get there, he's speaking in complete sentences that say things other than statements of the complete obvious." go through my head at the odest times. Thank you so much for that.
The other Legolas milestone is outside the Black Gates. From the first shot there on he's hysterically beautiful. Just odd.
We should be finding out the release date of the theatrical edition dvd on March 8!! (See for more details on Monday.)
Hey Zap2it says that starting this year the WB will be showing one LotR film a year during November sweeps.
