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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Orli as Bond girl?

I'm all for that.

Strawberry disappointment.

Always thought AD could do a good Bond.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Clive already turned down Bond, so it's not going to happen.

I know you're living in SF now, so I'll go slowly, but I would like to introduce you to a concept we like to call "money." For our second lesson, we will discuss "lots of it."

Pfft. I'd stack our Opera Opening versus yours anyday.

Clive went out of his way to shit on the whole Bond franchise and insult the producers. So he kind of burned his bridges.

However, as Shawn notes, you can build a lot of bridges if you have enough money. Who knows - it could come around.

Hey Kids, first time in this thread...first day as a Buffista. I'm so proud!

Much as I like Hugh Jackman...and I really, really do...he's too sweet to be Bond. I read in an interview with Brian Singer that the director tried to get HJ to be really angry in an Xmen scene, so he said something like 'pretend you had a terrible fight with your wife.' Hugh got terribly distressed and said something like,'That won't work. If I'd had a fight with my wife, I'd be crying right now.' Everybody say awwww.

Bond needs an edge...so Clive would be perfect...or, if he weren't so, um, b>him...Val Kilmer. I know, I know, he's not British. Then again, niether is James Marsters. Now THERE's an idea...

Hi Beej! Welcome! Of course now I've got this image of a bleach-blond Bond.

Which isn't a bad thing.

Thanks Raquel, Great to be here.

I was sorta kidding, but the more I think about it...

I can't even.

I was sorta kidding, but the more I think about it...

Uh, ew.

Peewee Herman is Bond!

Jack Black is Bond!

Ozzy Osbourne is 007!

There, I feel better.

Oh, wait. ObOnT: Sean Astin drives the Aston Martin ...

Okay, done now. Didn't even need the brain bleach.

Is it bad that what he said made perfect sense to me?

JohnSweden, it's hard to admit this, but I can see all THREE of them in a tuxedo with a martini. Then again, I have a prodigious imagination.

Not so much Ozzy, he should be on the wagon, but hey, Jack Black? Why not? He could do 'top ten ways to kill the bad guy's hapless henchmen on a Monday morning.'

Or Peewee could use his Mystery Men superpower to vanquish the enemy without ever using gun. I see possibilities!
