I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

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.

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

The largest still-untapped source of amusement are the bloopers — or "bleepers," as Jackson calls them. The flubs previously were shown only during private farewell tributes for major cast members as they took their leave of Middle-earth.

This is why I'd buy the set. I love bloopers.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.

I would LOVE to have all the other stuff, but I'm really not likely to actually buy another copy of the movies. I already had to bend over backwards with justification for having both theatrical and EE.

If only they'd just sell the cut scenes/blooper reel/documentaries.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Well, they haven't said exactly what would be sold -- maybe we'll get lucky.

I would totally pay full price for a whole second set of the movies, just to lay hold of the gag reels.

Truly, I am the engine that drives Capitalism.

Art Crawl!!!

There is going to be a film festival at Abbey Road and it's going to feature the LotR trilogy.

(It doesn't say if it's the EE or the wide-release versions.)

The phrase "flaccid assholes" will haunt me longer than I want.

Would the words "Work safe" apply to those links?

Yeah, they are.

sorry, should have been more explicit. Work safe screenies with snark. There is bad language though. (see ita remark)
