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".

Wow. Speaking of bad movies, the imdb description of "Tracker" made me want to stick something sharp (and hot) in my eye. Oy!

Fortunately, I haven't owned a tv in nearly 7 years, so I'm spared the inadvertant stumble into such scarring material. I feel for them who've seen it.

That's ANOTHER thing I wonder about...who is it who sits in a pitch meeting hearing someone describe something like that, and then says, "Great idea!" That can't really happen, can it?

Then again, I thought Quantum Leap was a dopey idea and look what happened there...huge success and about a thousand rip-offs.

What do [b]I[/b] know?

How have you kept up with Buffy, et al., then?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

DavidS-How scared am I that I'm not the only one with a DSM close by?'

The truly scary part is that he works in HR in a law firm. I really don't want to know what use they have for it there.

Myers-Briggs is just the beginning...

move out and draw fire

(pulls up a chair in case deb wanders by and a Myers-Briggs smackdown commences)

I suppose I could try to get this thread back on topic by positing the MBTIs of the LOTR characters...Frodo's an INFJ. Sam's an ISTJ. Mippin's ENTP. Gandalf, INTP.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I've never understood the whole MBTI thing (actually, I'd never even heard of them before the Buffistas)--what exactly do all those initials mean?

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

Merry and Pippen have the same Myers Brigg? I should do some reading, but they shouldn't, I don't think.

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

Steph L.--Have iMac with dvd player will travel. Netflix rules (!) and tvtome.com/buffyverse/younamethefansite keeps me up to date. I watch, I read, I absorb ambient pop culture. No need for a tv.

Besides, my name is Bj and I'm an addict...

If a tv is near, I'm pathologically drawn to it...very sad in a really sad, not funny sort of way.

I'll explore the diagnosis for THAT affliction right after I plead for a veer away from MBTI! Yeck. After 10 years as an organizational development consultant and 4 years as a therapist, I'm so up to here^ with MBTI.

I have this horrifying image of Samwise wearing an "ENFP spoken here" t.
