Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

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.

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

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

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

Very sad. They won't load for me. I get a photo and part of a caption. Sniff.

Also, I've been dying for a screengrab of one of those photos--the bit of TTT:EE where Boromir's looking up at the flag just before leaving Osgiliath? Anyone have a copy of it without snarky text over it? *g*

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

A-heehee, A-heehee!!!

Man...those were great...almost in a league w/ Gollum's curse-laden acceptance speech at the MTV Movie Awards.
