There are new EE pictures up at TORN.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

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.

I just ordered my copy from Amazon, and they tell me the estimated shipping date is the 17th! Although I know they tend to estimate much longer than it actually takes. I think as long as I get it by the 17th, it'll be OK, since I won't have time earlier in the week to watch it anyway.
Still. wantwantwant NOW.

Damn. Mine isn't to arrive until the 23rd.
I'm just hoping that the estimate is wrong!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'd never have the patience to have it mailed to me. Too many possibilities for complication.

Well,generally I don't have time to watch it during the week, so if it arrives on Friday or Saturday I'm good.
But if people who are ordering it NOW wind up getting it shipped sooner than I do -- when I ordered v. early I will make another complaint.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Even if I can't watch it, I get a Nillyesque pleasure from just holding it.
There may or may not be crooning and stroking.

Yikes! That must be wrong, if you ordered early. Maybe you should email or call just to make sure.

I've generally been pleased with Amazon's promptness, and it's cheaper through them than if I buy it around here. But I might end up doing what my friend always does, which is to preorder through Amazon, buy it at Target on the day it comes out, and then return the one from Amazon at Target when it comes.

Well, I'm not going to get upset unless it doesn't switch to "shipping soon" until nearer the 14th, you know?
