I called around to about eight different Blockbusters in the area. I know I'm getting it for Christmas but that doesn't mean I won't watch it first. Fortunately, my last hope had one copy left. I was able to have the clerk put my name on it. The bad thing? I have to return it by noon on Thursday. The good thing? Last night and tonight I'm doing nothing but watching the movie and as many extra features that I can.
Mal: Take your people and go. Captain: You would have done the same. Mal: We can already see I haven't.

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.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

Clever. I hadn't thought of that!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I ended up Netflixing the first one ahead of time.
Sadly, except not, I agreed to watch it with a friend. On Saturday. I haven't even bought it yet, mostly because neither Costco nor now Target had the Minas Tirith edition.

Art Crawl!!!
It's here!
I've opened it up and ordered the slipcase and tomorrow I'm going to send away for the rebate and once I've posted this -- going to log-off and prepare for a long winter's evening of LotRing!

I can't believe your Target didn't have the Minas Tirith edition!
The one in my town did -- well, I saw one.
What it didn't have was a plush my little pony that my niece doesn't already have! (She has the pink one. . . all they had was the pink one. I got her a different one -- not plush,but sparkly and with wings and I think, a tiara. I think she should like that.)

When I was at the Best Buy yesterday morning (some 15 minutes after they opened), the table that they had all the new releases set up on was already down to the last gift set, which I snagged. The girl standing behind it asked me what the big deal was with that version in particular, since "everyone's getting it instead of just the movie." She called back for a restock as I was heading for the register--I'm sure they had more in the stockroom.

She went into the back and everything -- she said they had FotR and TT ones, which strikes me as odd. Maybe I just shouldn't shop in Simi.

move out and draw fire
Le sigh. Mine has shipped, but now it's somewhere in the APO system, competing with all the Christmas gifts going to troops in Iraq. I can wait. As I've mentioned before, I don't have a TV anyway, which helps me be generous in my soul to our boys in the field. I just don't think I could bring myself to watch ROTK on my computer monitor.
I did get the 50th Anniv. edition of the book (solstice gift for husband) and it's beautiful!
