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.

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

Hey. I did not say "not hot".

I said odd.

Big difference.

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

Well, I dunno if scrap votes with me on this one, then.

Dude didn't look odd to me. Well, except in the sense that he doesn't look usual or ordinary. But I'll most certainly accept him and the hair.

he moves beautifully

It's entertaining that at no point are he and Bourne ever within spitting distance, till the very last moment. As grudge-matches go, it was a long-distance war. I guess Celeborn called him up about the whole 'he can beat you up with a magazine' thing.

Pity about the accent.

Pity about the accent.

Ah, but only those who know what Russian should sound like noticed that. Me, I was happy with the hawt. Man's got nice lips, and I appreciate that they let us see them in this one.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs

Yes, he did sound a bit off on that, didn't he. But...I was focusing more on the visual than auditory at that point.

Speaking of, was just reading in ET how there are no new really big movie stars. In a sidebar, they mentioned that Matt Damon didn't count because he was too serious and chose his roles carefully, but then in the main article, they mentioned that the problem was that the new "stars" were made too quickly and were not serious and choosing roles carefully. I wonder sometimes if the main article authors and the sidebar authors even bother talking to each other, or if they just say, "This is my theme. Reinforce it."

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I got an A in my class. ;-) Thanks again for all the help and listening while I yapped.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Go Dana!
