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.
Hell, I don't know. If I had wanted schooling, I'da gone to school.

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.
I got ROTKEE & Firefly for Christmas. This is the best 'Best Buy' Christmas ever.

Nigh onto perfect, beathen!
Also, I love the Liv Tyler song, but I am so bummed that it is not on the soundtrack.

Anne,
If Dom and Billy riffed on David Wenham's nickname being Daisy they weren't bsing.
I heard it on the do NOT mock meVan Helsing commentary. Apparently, David is well-loved and sadly monikered.

I still think of him as Audrey from Moulin Rouge , so I suppose that's not too much of a stretch.

I can totally see that nickname for him.
Just watched Disk 5, and my overwhelming feeling from the extra material is sheer wonder at how close the movies came to being a complete train-wreck. I mean, no matter how much I complain about the odd writing changes that made it to the screen (Denethor's death, elves showing up at Helm's Deep, Frodo wrestling Gollum at the Crack o' Doom, everything Arwen) they had stuff in the can, in fairly final state, that was much MUCH worse.
That, and I am still kicking myself for not just up and moving to New Zealand 4-5 years ago when I saw the first call for talent. I didn't HAVE any talent, but I'm sure I could've done something to contribute, and how great would it have been to be involved in that project? Not your standard movie shoot.

You're kicking yourself, Hubby had an invitation to be one of the siege crew at Minas Tirith, if he could have found plane fair to NZ. Of course, his health went into freefall not long after the invite, so it's just as well. I don't think I could have handled a late-night international phone call about my husband and a heart attack.
