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.
Young Simon: So... how'd the Independents cut us off? Young River: They were using dinosaurs.
'Safe'
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.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
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.)

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.

There is that iridescent fabric that does that for a few colors. That would have been neat although with that kind of fabric, it's much easier to catch the nuances of color in person than in film.

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

Or Donny Osmond.

Great--now I can't get the image of Christopher Lee prancing about in high heels and sequins, lip-synching to "Mamma Mia."
