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".

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

I think she cringed from the pain in her arms from beheading the Fell Beast.

In The Complete Guide to Middle-Earth by Robert Foster it says this about Eowyn: In the Battle of the Pelennor Fields, with the aid of Merry she won great renown by slaying the Lord of the Nazgul and his steed. The evil coming from contact with the Nazgul-lord, amplified by the years of wating on Théoden in his dotage and by her hopeless love for Aragorn, caused her to succumb to a severe case of the Black Breath. Aragorn released her from the illness with athelas...

Black Breath

Yeah, she got hit with that, but t damn, where's my copy of the book, bugger when Theoden went down, she was in full "Go ahead and kill me, I don't give a damn, you're not getting him" mode.

The Premiere mag article (mostly Viggo's photos with some tidbits at the end) is here. Some funny stuff from the tidbits:

"On the very last day of shooting Aragorn fighting the Orcs, Peter quietly gave Viggo an Uzi, loaded with blanks, for the last take." (Dan Hennah)

"Did you know that Billy [Boyd] and Dom [Monaghan] were homosexual lovers for most of the filming? Apparently, at a millenium party in Wellington, they 'discovered' each other. The noise was, allegedly, horrendous. They do spend rather a lot of screen time missing each other and emoting. Good luck to them, I say." (Bernard Hill)

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Heh. I must sound like those fools who come into the Angel thread and say shit like, "hey! i just figured out that Angel and Lindsey want to do each other. i figured no one else knew about that, here."

Well, nobody actually said anything about it here.

I was kind of hoping for an RotKEE promo. You know, because the one on the website runs funky for me and my slow connection (and not at all for me at work.)

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

OK, I know the movies were collossal hits, but that's taking the celebrity-by-association thing a little too far. What next? Is Jennifer Lopez going to start dating Treebeard?
