The Matrix did that, and it was marvellous.
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.
Host ,'Why We Fight'
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Oddly, Don Juan diMarco had one too, with subtitles. It was really fascinating.
Raquel, it is but a tiny nitpick, but I thought Aragorn had Frodo "lean forward" so as to be better positioned for the jumping and carrying him forward, not to affect the swaying stone staircase, 'cause, like, that would be silly, right?

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I definitely thought Aragorn had Frodo lean forward so as to affect the direction of the toppling slab of stone. La la la, not thinking about it too hard...

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
We were just snarking at this the other night. You know, if you are part of a fellowship whose job is to tag along with the Ringbearer on his way to Mt. Doom, it might be a good idea to toss him across first, say, before the giant steps start to fall conveniently in the right direction.

Religion isn't the cause of wars. It's the excuse. - Christopher Brookmyre
What about that pause? Y'know, when the Fellowship's in that big open cavern, and 30000 slimy things climb down the pillars and completely surround them, and sit there. For three minutes. Thinking '30000 of us, 9 of them, can we take them?'
It's only an editing glitch, but it messes with the suspension of disbelief, and that bugs.

move out and draw fire
Hey, you can tell Legolas was thinking "30,000 of them, one of me. I can take them!"

"And that dwarf will totally think I'm hot."

I can't even.

Hee! The Fellowship could so take them, but they'd probably lose a hobbit or two, and it might be the wrong hobbit. Plus, a balrog is come. That's gonna cost you at least an elflord.
