You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

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.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

when Sam and Frodo march out of Cirith Ungol in orc armor, they always remind me of Sebastian's toys.

Just me, then?

BWAH!!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Exactly!

Strawberry disappointment.

Beverly, I knew they reminded me of something.

I believe vampires are the world's greatest golfers

More on the possible LOTR musical here.

"I am confident we can put on the whole of Middle-earth and tell the story of the entire trilogy," co-producer Kevin Wallace told the Sunday Telegraph.

In 3.5 hours? Doubtful.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Er, yeah. Not so much.

I did see a really nice one-person stage production of The Hobbit once, which you wouldn't think would work but did.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

A local theater troop did all three books as non-musical plays over the course of a year or so. I wish I had seen them--they were highly reviewed by critics.

When I told my friends about the musical they thought it was a joke -- now I've sent them the article from the BBC website.

I am very disappointed -- my friends are filking LotR to various Broadway musicals -- I really thought that there were be some good filking action over here. (Of course, am I doing any of it?)
