Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

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".

The actors commentary on FoTREE is my one true actors commentary.

I am very sad that they didn't do a joint hobbits + smeagol commentary for TTTEE -- I can only hope that they have the hobbits all together for RotKEE. Because SA's comments and the lack of Dom and Billy to smack him down ruined the actors' commentary on TTTEE for me.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I can only hope that they have the hobbits all together for RotKEE.

According to Billy Boyd, it's just him and Dom together on his track.

I'm very tired of Sean's lectures on theory of acting.

I'm very tired of Sean's lectures on theory of acting.

I wonder if he lightens up for the last one.

I thought my lectures on theory of acting were quite entertaining and enlightening...

What do you mean you weren't talking about me?

Are your friends also LOTR geeks?

Huuuuuuuuge ones. Hence our desire to go over there.

Because SA's comments and the lack of Dom and Billy to smack him down ruined the actors' commentary on TTTEE for me.

Eek! I didn't mean to ruin. Sorry!

So happy that it's the DomBilleh commentary for RotK! They were so cute and funny together, and while I loved all four of them together, Elijah and Sean get a bit tiring with their constant talky meat-ness. Billy and Dom know the value of a good funny.

You didn't ruin -- they did -- I've already heard SA (Sean Astin) pontificating.

Religion isn't the cause of wars. It's the excuse. - Christopher Brookmyre

Whew. First post in this thread, having made it to the end, and I want to ask something.

I mean, I really enjoyed ROTK. I was majorly impressed by Gondor, which looked just the way I thought it should, and loved Merry and Pippen, and was very glad Gimli got to be badass, instead of just comic relief. And I was inexpressibly relieved that the ending had 'well, I'm back', and was good, and I wasn't even bored by the battles.

But (you knew that was coming), I couldn't stand the stuff with Sam and Frodo and Gollum that was just made up. Gollum turning Sam against Frodo, and Sam leaving. It was out of character and complelety unneccesary, and just made me furious. So I'd really like to know, am I alone on this? Did it bug people?
