That's beautiful. Or taken literally, incredibly gross.

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.

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.

That must be an addon. Mine don't do that.

Really? I can't believe that the university would do anything but the most basic. . . well, unless they got some huge deal for the many many 'puters they buy all at once.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Watched RotK on Saturday night. Pippin made me cry again. He needs to stop doing that.

But something I noticed on the small screen that I didn't on the big was the very subtle, final transformation from Smeagol to Gollum in the prologue. All 3 of us pointed and said, "HEY!!"
