One thing I'm curious about: When all of Rohan is camping, Aragorn has a dream in which he drops the evenstar pendant. Later in the movie when he confronts Sauron in the palantir and sees that Arwen is "dead" it appears he drops it out of his hand for real, but a few seconds before that it is securely fastened around his neck. Did he actually drop it or was he just recalling his dream?

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".

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

Ummm, I don't know.
Do we ever see it after that? (Or, IOW, I MUST re-watch!)

No. The next time we see Aragorn he is riding to the black gate in his riding gear. The next clothes change is when he goes into see Frodo after the ring was destroyed and he's wearing a mandarin type collar. But in all the previous movies he's always worn it under his shirt. If we see it around his neck, it's usually because the collar of his shirt is open.

I just read this line from an email I received: "Surround yourself with what you love, whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever."
I read it as "Surround yourself with what you love, whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbits, whatever."
Hee!

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.
Apparently they're sold out of the RotK ones worldwide, so if you see one, grab it. They overestimated the ones they needed of the first two films, so there are some left over. (This is just what my DVD-mad colleague tells me, but he's a pretty reliable source).

My favorite added bit was the extra Eowyn footage on the battlefield, showing she can kick some serious ass. And Theoden saw her and recognized her! I think Theoden's death scene is a little different, too.

Managed to watch all of the first disc of appendices last night. Does it make me a wuss if I cry at a documentary? And by 'a' documantary, I do of course mean 'each and every' documentary.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Nooooo. I've cried in the last too. People keep saying the moment with Frodo is getting them every time.

Pippin telling Merry he's going to take care of him gets me.

I'm not sure if I missed it or it's just not in the movie. In the previews we see Pippin sitting on Gandalf's horse in Rohan. He leans over and Merry has his hand. Merry says to him "We shall see the shire again, Pippin" and then the horse takes off.
Am I just missing where they show that or is it not in the movies?
