Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

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.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Kate, it's also a good idea for Boxing Day (12/26), which is what we do in my family.

It's not weird that "May It Be" is on my Christmas CD because of that, right?

Frodo's Stolen Stuffed Mushrooms

So basically sometime between St. Nicholas' day and Epiphany, we need a St. Tolkein's Day, huh? Debetesse has called St. Stephen's, which sounds good to me.

Hmm, the EE has been leaked to the internet.

I should say that the link is to an article about the leak -- not to a place to download the movie!

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.

The retail is expected to hit some stores on the 10th and will be fully released around the world on the 14th.

What!? *shakes computer for definition of "some stores"*

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

It's pissing me and my hubby off that we don't have a big movie to plan to see on Christmas. Jackson owes us a new Christmas tradition.

Well, you still have the in-home extendathon as an option.

It's not the same, but in competition with the sharp stick and the poking, it's not doing so bad. And it mightn't trigger the hospitalisation geas.

There is that. "So, you think it was a yin/yang sort of thing? We get LOTR movies, but we have to pay for them with you in the hospital?" "Maybe."

Hmmm, are you now fearing that Jackson may get to direct "The Hobbit"?
