I was a bad fan too.
But look! Elijah Wood wants to be stomped on by King Kong.
This here's a recipe for unpleasantness.

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.

I need to see RotK in the theatre again. When will they pull it?

When will they pull it?
Not immediately after winning the Oscar. Besides it's still making money.

It'll probably be gone from the first-run theaters within a month, and then in the bargain theaters until the dvd comes out on 5/25. I just went last Monday, but I'll probably go see it again sometime this week.

I am not shocked to hear this.

My goal is an even dozen this time around! I fell apart at my viewing last Monday, so I know it still gets to me, so why not enjoy it on the big screen while I can?
Anyway, there's really nothing good in the cineplex until Eternal Sunshine comes out on the 19th.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, I need to go again. We saw Miracle last week instead, which, you know, being hockey fans was tantamount to an epic adventure. But I think I'm ready for a good dose of fantasy this week sometime soon.
That's great news about the dvd coming out early. Hope the extended one comes out soon, too. But not too soon, cause it's the Firefly effect, and I don't really want it to be over.

Heh. Cintra Wilson succombed to LoTR. From her annual Oscar review:
"Lord of the Rings: The Passion of the Frodo" was, for me, a great tool of conversion to Hobbitism. They got me where I lived. I was riveted to my seat for the full three hours; I cried so much that by the end I was holding a cardboard tub of polenta. A wildly ambitious and unbelievably realized monster achievement in the genre of epic filmmaking. Bully for the elves, but it's not like this sweeping win of Peter Jackson's was any great shocker -- certainly nobody needed to watch the dental nightmare that was the 76th Oscars all the way to the end to figure out who was going home with the big jackpot.

An interesting interview with Richard Taylor.
A rather sweet explanation about the rats:
It has literally been since the day that she accepted a present from a spotty brace-faced 13-year-old boy that happened to knock on her front door, that had seen a photo of her in a boarding school and had travelled down on the bus, and accepted two live pet rats, that the bond was forged. At 15 we sat on a hay bail in a hay barn and discussed owning a workshop, and moved on from that point.
When asked for any "dirt" (his response--"Only under my fingernails") and arguments on set:
I might be corrected by someone in the long distant past of my working career but I believe I'm yet to raise my voice in the workshop after 15 years in business. I certainly don't believe I've ever sworn at anyone. I've only ever heard Peter use a swear word twice on set.
