Now, a different ring with a nice phrase in Elvish, that would be lovely.
That's probably exactly what the Dwarf Kings said in their halls of stone just before Sauron showed up with his little gifts.

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".

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I just don't get them selling it all. It's EVIL folks.
ITA.
I'm as flabbergasted by couples using the ONE TRUE EVIL to rule all EVIL rings as wedding bands as I am by the same couples playing Every Breath You Take at the reception.
People. Are you paying attention? Evil//Stalking not the best springboard for a lasting partnership.
Unless, of course, you are Sauron and Saruman sittin' in a tree k-i-s-s-i-n-g.

BOROMIR!!!!! Ahem. Sorry for geeking out here. Holy shit, they've included Sam seeing the star in Mordor!!!!! Excuse me, I have to wipe off the drool of anticipation...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You know TNT's "Drama is..." promos? They have a FotR one -- Ian, Sean Astin and PJ talk about drama in pretentious black and white before they cut to the trailer for Fellowship.

Actually, that promo came out last December, for the RotK theatrical release (I have it downloaded on my computer).

I had never seen it! Why did TNT tie their promos in with a theatrical release?
Anyway -- I've seen the extended preview, and it brought a tear or two to my eyes, a smile, and Lord, do I want to know what Dom said after hearing "Look how beautiful I am!"

I think that TNT ran it because they had already bought the rights to broadcast the whole trilogy, so they had motivation to try and ramp up its Oscar chances. I can't imagine them doing it for another movie series, though if The Godfather Part 4 came out, you never know!

Art Crawl!!!
It took about an hour for me to download that 6 minute trailer -- but it was totally worth it!!!
I can't wait!!!
