I clicked on the wrong thread. I was so confused.
This is a time of celebration, so sit still and be quiet.

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.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Hey, look! Allyson's in the hobbit thread.

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

Over on lj somebody linked to this page which has sound samples of VM reading his poetry some in English, some in Spanish and one in Danish.
I sent it to a friend who is fluent in Spanish and she was surprised by how very Argentinian his Spanish is. (I mean, she knew but it's not the same 'til you hear it, right?)
I figured that there might be some people here interested in hearing how Argentinian his Spanish is too.

Someone said (here, I think) that his Spanish was so regional, you could almost tell the block he grew up on. I can't imagine having that good an ear, or that distinct an accent.

My friend isn't that good with Argentinian accents. She's better with Spanish accents and is very curious at how he'll do playing a Spaniard in a Spanish movie.

Good enough for his rabid fanbase, but they'd probably love his Xhosa too.

In Xhosa?
You're probably right -- I did listen to the Danish and I have no knowledge at all of Danish. . . but I wanted to hear what it sounded like.
