'Lineage'
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.
On topic: I've been listening to the unabridged RoTK on tape recently and I have a question about dwarves.
In the appendices, we hear all about their lines and battles, and the various industries (very Quark-like really) but what I don't understand is, what is the deal with burying their dead in stone?
Well, weren't they formed out of stone to begin with?
Also: Viggo Mortensen is on the cover of GQ! I'm assuming the April issue. (We're too early for May, right?)
I just got two May 2004 copies of magazines in the mail this week. GQMV.
Hm. I missed the formed from stone part. Thanks.
So! This July, my local symphony and symphony chorus (including me) will be performing music from the LoTR movies, and they'll have big screens showing scenes from the movies, and how freaking cool is this?
Wow!!! That is soooo excellent!
Also, I didn't realize that Marquette had the world's pre-eminent collection of the works of Tolkien.
Oh Dana, so jealous! Will there be recordings available for purchase?
I don't know. It's some touring thing -- I guess maybe they're sending the screens around, or the musical arrangements or something? I'll post more about it when I find out.
I'm totally looking forward to the freaky Nazgul attack song.
Are you a soprano? Will you get to do the Ben del Maestro descant?
Alto. But I've got no idea how things are going to be arranged or what will be included.
