All right, no one's killing folk today, on account of our very tight schedule.

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.

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.

You know I completely missed out on the rebates for people who bought both the theatrical and EE editions of FotR and TTT -- because a. I didn't know about them and b. in the case of FotR I bought the theatrical waaaay later.

So, FYI -- there is going to be a rebate of $5.00 for people who have bought the theatrical release and the EE and $10.00 if you bought the theatrical and the Special Gift EE.

Here is what the new line guy said in the TORN interview:

We aren’t requiring cash register receipts for the theatrical DVD, but proofs-of-purchase and receipts for the Special Extended Edition will be required.

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

There were also a couple extra tracks that didn't make it to the final soundtracks for the movies...another Annie Lennox song, some music from a trailer that didn't work out. Two Howard Shore tracks that were in the movie but cut from the soundtrack.

It's disturbing and amusing at the same time.

TORN has a rumor of a new tv series set in MiddleEarth.

Also, according to the BBC Weta has the 3rd largest supercomputer in the world.

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

Does anyone have a rec for a good LotR screensaver (for Windows)?

My favorite screensaver is the one I have at work -- it's a file of LotR photos I've nabbed from everywhere. I have Windows 2000 at work and can do that. I'd forgotten that you can't do that with '98 and was distraught when I went to set my screensaver on my home 'puter.
