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.
I gave her everything... jewels, beautiful dresses -- with beautiful girls in them.

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".

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

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Yeah, Aimee, it took my third or fourth theater viewing before I caught it, and then I had to see it another time to make sure. It was very subtle, as you say, but affecting nonetheless. PJ is a sneaky storyteller, isn't he?

I was watching the extended versions over the weekend, and listened to the director/writers commentary, and I must say that I'd love to see them do a chronological cut of the trilogy. I was thinking about it, and they could still do the Galadriel narration, but when she gets to "It snared a new bearer," they could cut to the Smeagol/Deagol prologue from RotK, and then cut back to the narration when Gollum says, "My Precious" at the end.

Any idea on what the easter eggs might be on the DVD?
