This money, it is too much. You should have some small refund.

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".

One of the scenes I'm most hoping to see is the shot of Eomer from the trailer, cradling someone's (Eowyn's?) head on the battlefield and crying. Gives me shivers.

There's a great article in this month's issue of Premiere with pictures by Viggo of some of the cast & crew. I don't know if it's online or not.

I'm hoping for that scene too and Kate -- it's in the promo at the official movie site.

It's one of Eomer's big moments.

Beathen's #1 is going to be included as an "abandoned concept," so they'll probably have an animatic of it.

I think the early scene that sumi referenced is after the opening scene with Frodo and Sam, when they see the statue of the king, with the statue's head crowned in a wreath of flowers --this is probably where they'll move the title card.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

That pic is hilarious! I made it my desktop picture.

Oh, man. I love that scene in the book.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Yeah, I saw that bit (from the screencap) in the promo someone had up. I continue to feel that they didn't get my Eowyn onto the screen, and it makes me sad. Miranda Otto's version is... I dunno. Fragile, rather than brittle. Too warm.

Yay for the scene coming back at all, mind you.
