Buffy ,'The Killer In Me'
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.
Yay! Someone to talk with! Right when I should be going to bed!
I also loved the Faramir/Pippin scene. I thought Faramir probably did best out of the additional scenes. I loved all the 'wizard's pupil' bits. The extra shots of Merry fighting to get to Eowyn broke my heart, and also his little speech about his and Pippin's friendship. I am in violent agreement with you on the Gimli front. The drinking game was cringe-worthy.
I must watch the other extras.

There were copies of ROTK EE for ₤23, which is about $46. So naturally, I didn't buy it. (Especially as it wouldn't play on my computer anyway.) But I'll see it in January, when my friends bring it over from the States. Lord, though, I want it now.
Hi, Jars! I think that idea of the drinking game wasn't a bad one, in theory, but its execution sucked, big time, mostly due to the choice of both PJ and Rhys-Davies (from the Cameras doc, most of his stuff was ad-libbed) to make Gimli into an idiot. I just hated it.
Oh, and on the Cameras doc, after Elijah hugs PJ, I think the woman he's giving that huge embrace to (whose face we never see on screen) is Fran Walsh.
I think I'm going to go watch some more docs and maybe get in the Director/Writers commentary before going to bed. I have to go back to work for the first time since the 3rd tomorrow, so I have to be in bed by 11:00. Feh.
No package waiting for me.
It was really too much to hope for.
Maybe tomorrow.
That sucks, sumi!
I'm going to go through the docs and see if they manage to find a way to humiliate Rick Porras on this DVD, since they did so on the first two. Appearance report on interviewees that I've seen so far: Viggo looks great, Ordesky's lost a lot of hair on top, PJ was filmed before he lost weight (take a look at him on the King Kong set reports--it looks like he's dropped about 30 pounds), Billy's starting to look his age (he's getting the vertical creases next to his mouth), and Dom looks great as always.
Oh, and watch the Cameras doc for sure, especially the bit about Sam's wedding! Let's just say that Sam and Rosie weren't the only two kissing on set that day...
No package waiting for me.
I've been reading Joss-speak for so long I was parsing this as some kind of "slayage" construction...

I am SA. I'm trying desperately to wait until Christmas, 'cause I think it may be a gift, but I don't know if I can make it that long.
Hah! From the Easter egg link: a gag interview with Elijah Wood conducted by Dominica Monaghan . If only it were so. The tinhats would have a field day...
Woot, Minas Tirith is sitting on top of my computer. Thank you Sam's Club. Now I just need to find a spare four hours to watch it.
Isn't it closer to 5?
Well, mine left Forest Park today -- I'm thinking that means here tomorrow.
