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."
Inara: You don't have to die alone. Mal: Everybody dies alone.

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".

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Ooh, that sounds like fun!

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.

Got RotKEE for Christmas. Now, I must go back and read all the white font. On initial viewing, I was not as pleased as with the other two EE versions. I may need to purchase the theatrical version of this one after all. I did like the House of Healing scene, but it was too short, IMHO, and upon reflection, AnotherAlaskan was correct in our conversation, when he said that what Aragorn was doing looked too much like normal nursing.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
I got ROTKEE & Firefly for Christmas. This is the best 'Best Buy' Christmas ever.
