Harmony ,'Conviction (1)'
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.
if I were Sauron, I'd have sent out the message of "I have my ring. Prepare to ..." Wait, I'd have sent no message at all either way. But still. If messaging were happening, I'd have told them I had the ring. Did he?
I don't think he did, in the film; but I don't think he did directly in the novel, either. Just got shirty and said something like, "Here are the terms of your surrender."
Which he might have said, in the film, if he had still been in possession of his head.
It may be one of those consensuses that smells like bullshit, but I'm in favour of white fonting EE details until, say, the new year, so that those who're waiting on Santa to deliver have a chance to see it.
I certainly appreciated the whitefont over the five days it took me to see it.
I appreciate the whitefont, since it means I don't have to unsub, and I can get a general idea of reactions.
For any relative newbies to the LotR world--The Origins of Tolkien's Middle-Earth for Dummies!
As the author says in his introduction to the book, this is not an encyclopedia or quick guide to all the diverse beings, languages, and history that make up Tolkien's Middle-earth. Nor is it a set of plot outlines for the novels. Rather, what you'll find in The Origins of Tolkien's Middle-earth For Dummies is a basic guide to some of the possible linguistic and mythological origins of Middle-earth, plus a rudimentary analysis of its many themes and lessons for our world.
I watched my EE DVDs yesterday. People are saying he wasn't ominous enough, but I found the Mouth of Sauron to be pretty freaky.
It's funny, but among all the nitpicks about the differences between the books and the movies, the one that always sticks with me is a relatively petty one. It bugs me to no end that Glamdring (Gandalf's sword) doesn't glow blue in the presence of orcs in the movies, even though it's supposed to share that property with Sting.
I've been nursing a red-hot-coal of envy for all y'all's ROTKEE having but today, today was a grand day. $22.99 at Bestbuy. Just stumbled on it. No lines. No waiting.
Now all that's left is to find a cheap copy of TTTEE and I will have completed the last rung on Maslow's hierarchy of needs.
Right above Self-Actualization and Transcendence.
PJEE haveage.
No really. I looked it up.
For all you others out there on dial-up internet access, WildDemon Cornelius's link is to a 9.6Mb Quicktime .mov file.
Oops, sorry...probably should have mentioned that (kicks self sharply in the ankle).
Which woulda been goodtaknow.
It took forevah. And then gave me no sound love...but hey, Leonard Nimoy.
