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.

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

Oh Dana, so jealous! Will there be recordings available for purchase?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

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.

Dana, that is soooo cool! My LotR-geek co-worker went to the Howard Shore concert in Columbus on Friday, and said it was just fantastic. I think that his concerts are being restricted to just the music written by him, so they don't do Pippin's song or any of the Enya music from FotR.

Sumi, I haven't been back to see the Marquette exhibit since I graduated from there back in '88, and it's been expanded and showcased in the new library, I hear. I've been thinking about making a trip up there, maybe this summer--would you like to come with? I can show you some of the other nice stuff Marquette has on campus (a 14th-century chapel with very cool medieval artifacts inside, a decent art museum, and some pretty good restaurants nearby).

Cereal to add:

Sumi, did you see this over at TORN?

LECTURE: "Adapting Middle-Earth: Tolkien, the Books, and the Movies" by Thomas Shippey (St. Louis University), Saturday, April 3, 2004, 8:00 p.m., Gable Hall, Cavan Auditorium. Thomas Shippey is giving the lecture/ QA session on the campus of Northern Illinois University in DeKalb Illinois.

I might be tempted to go--Shippey's really interesting on both the DVDs and his books.

Yes, it's free -- because it's part of the graduate colloquium series. Want to go?

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Was it ever revealed how Denethor's wife died? I'm watching the TTT EE commentary and I was wondering.
