Yeah...the Buffistas seem like the sort of group that would appreciate that. I'm now going to go watch Fellowship on TV (Canadian CBC)
Remember that sex we were planning to have, ever again?

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.

Take your fingers off it, don't you dare touch it, you know it don't belong to you, to you...

I watched RotKEE at a friend's house yesterday.
This is a friend with a tv much bigger than the one I'd watched it on before.
You know that scene where Sam tells Frodo something like " See there is still beauty somewhere in the world
?" In the book he was seeing a star in the sky -- but when I watched it on the 13" screen tv all I could see was a sunset-colored cloud. On the bigger screen? I could see the evening star.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Watching the RotK EE extras made me homesick, so I watched the TTT EE extras. Which, fueled by Nyquil, took on a bizarrely surreal quality. I may put in all the EE extras, from FotR to RotK, tomorrow, and just hit "play all."

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Sumi: Yes.
We did our Rings-a-thon today (plus Easter eggs, which was, to quote Elijah Wood, "Fucking Awsome"). I agree that the way they did the houses of healing was wicked confusing for the timelines.
I have other thoughts, but not really at the moment.
Oh yeah, could have done without the drinking game

The drinking game pays off in the extras, though, with an offhand comment from Billy.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Will have to look out for that, then

I believe that the comment is also in the cast commentary.

Was watching some of the extras last night on disc 3. One of the funnier things I saw was at the end of the Weta Workshop documentary, when Richard Taylor and Alan Lee put what look like whips into their back waistbands and start dancing around wiggling their "tails"--as low key as Lee is, it was pretty funny to see him goof around like that.
Also on that doc, listen to the music playing in the background. The Gondor theme is playing throughout the description of the armor and helmets for Faramir, et al, until Billy says, "And then there was my helmet," and the music dries up in a fast downward spiral. As Billy talks about the problems that he had with his helmet, there is absolutely no music playing until the next segment of the doc.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
The cast commentaries were amusing. I especially liked David Wenham's rant about the crappy horse he was given, along with the revelation about his nickname, which may or may not have been Dom and Billy BSing at DW's expense.
My favorite bit of the cast commentaries, though, was Bernard Hill's voiceover about what Theoden was most likely thinking when they left Edoras.
