I know I'm a bad poet, but I'm a good man. All I ask is that... is that you try to see me—

William ,'Conversations with Dead People'


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.

Nylon Magazine has a feature on Dominic Monaghan. It's in the August issue. And Flaunt Magazine has some feature where they had kids taking pictures and Billy Boyd wound up in three of them. I think it's the July issue of Flaunt.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Hey -- is it out on dvd? Having people Netflixing it would be very cool.

Nah. To be honest it wasn't that great. Very teen idol-o-centric with a Behind the Music vibe.

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

Put yourself in a fangirl's shoes: can you imagine going to see Troy and noticing Dom and Viggo in the audience? There must have been major plotzing.

Canadian tv is going to air the Montreal LotR concert!

Details here.

I assume that Bravo! isn't the same as Bravo in the US, is it? (Darn the luck.)

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.

sumi, thanks! I've written it on my calendar.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

What's the name of the mountain that the Fellowship tries to cross in FoTR before they're forced to go through Moria?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
