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.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Concession for six pounds isn't bad. The two movies I've gone to in London were eight each, so.

Maybe, I don't know. Closer to the date, I suppose.

Is anyone else worried that Gollum will get even MORE screen time on the extended version DVD?

Worried, but optimistic that he won't.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I finally got my copy of the new Entertainment Weekly, and there's a nice ad for the RotKEE in it with some of the character sketches from the end credits. It looks like Christopher Lee does get added to the list for this edition, 'cause his sketch is very impressive.

Oh, that's good to hear. I'm glad they'll be putting him back in.

(three weeks! three weeks!)

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

I'm waiting until Christmas. I already told my family that the ROTKEE is not a request or a wish - I expect to get it. (I know that's cold but I've been doing this for three years now. They know about my obsession.)

Art Crawl!!!

Cool!

What I want is a nice portfolio of those sketches. . . .

As they said in Get Smart, "Missed me by that [holds thumb and index finger together] much.

Kathy, thanks for the news about character sketches. Like Kate, I eagerly await the return of Saruman the formerly White.

I just wish that PJ could have given Saruman those iridescent robes that he wears in the book, just so we could have had the great exchange as JRRT wrote it:

Saruman: "Behold! I am no longer Saruman the White, but Saruman of Many Colors!"

Gandalf: "I liked white better."

Such a simple retort, and so wonderfully pithy.
