Damn you, Bridget! Damn you to Hades! You broke my heart in a million pieces! You made me love you, and then you-- I SHAVED MY BEARD FOR YOU, DEVIL WOMAN!

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.

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.

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.
