I'll take what I can get. Thanks, Kathy!
Yeah, we're building a race of frog-people. It's a good time

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.

TORN has a download of the six-minute trailer, which is so, so great. It's .mov. I believe this feeling is called happiness.

Oh, and I just looked at the Amazon entry for the EE--Lawrence Makaore is listed as being on the cast commentary, along with the usual group!
Hey, cool! And Kathy, your whitefont has me bouncing and squeeing, especially Sam seeing the star. How can I wait these last two weeks?!

Emmett LOVED his talking Saruman action figure when he was 5.
Given his ambitions towards world domination, color me not surprised. :)

That's the person on the RotKEE list that I was excited about!

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
Kate, that is really one of my favorite moments in the book. It's such a wonderful demonstration of how Sam has evolved throughout the story, but stayed true to his essential self. He recognizes the beauty and takes heart in the smallest of things, and remains, as Gandalf calls him in an early draft of RotK, "Hope Unquenchable."

I like that Legolas appears to have actual lines in the EE. I feel like he's had almost no real dialogue since TTT.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Some of his dialogue, though, is a drinking game with Gimli.

Compassionately intolerant
a drinking game with Gimli.
Eep. Having a Shanghai Noon flashback.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
I have to wait until Christmas Eve for the EE, although that won't stop me from renting it.
