You're talking to Serenity. And, Early... Serenity is very unhappy.

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.

Damn you Aimee and your connections!

Also, so people are excited about Lost and it's DM-ness -- but what about that Sci Fi thing with Sean Astin? Is there no love for that?

Oh, and I hear that Orlando Bloom is on the cover of the May issue of Premiere and that it's chockful of Troyie goodness.

Actually, the Sean Astin film was one he did (IIRC) before LotR came out--strictly a money job, he confessed in an interview I read some time ago, so I don't have any great expectations for it.

I thought it was a series?

Nope, one of the movies that Sci-Fi picked up for broadcast. I do think that it's the first time it's been shown anywhere--IIRC, in the interview (I think it was the ignfilmforce.com one), Astin said that it was filmed in Africa, and then never managed to get sold to any studio and it never went to video, either.

Ouch. If it's too bad for STV, then it's really bad.

And yet, not so bad that Sci Fi won't air it.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Dude. "Riverworld".

Nothing is so bad that Sci-Fi won't air it.

I just got home from my parents' house and secular!Easter dinner and have my dad's FotR EE DVDs in my hands. Whee! I don't own them (I know, I know - I'm not quite sure why I don't either except that now I am unemployed and cannot buy it) and have not seen the EE or the documentaries in for.ever.

I'm really much more excited about this than I should be.

Resisting urge to sign this post "Ooooh DomDomDom!" 'cause that is exactly how I feel. I'm so 14.

Actually, though it had problems I was more entertained by Riverworld than not -- I particularly liked the guy they had for Sam Clemens.

Saw Hidalgo last night. Thought Mortenson had good chemistry with his horse, who really was a charmer. I hope this convinces Hollywood Mortenson is leading man material so that he gets good roles in the future.

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

I clicked on Riverworld in the middle, channel surfing.

"Why is there a sidewheeler heading from Lorien to Amon Hen?" I confess I stayed with it for a while just hoping for more NZ scenery.
