You know what they say about payback? Well I'm the bitch.

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".

Roommate2: Lots of dying in this movie.

Somehow I don't think Helm's Deep would make a good impression these folks.

I can't even.

Look! Something with no monsters or beating people up!

Pfft! How can people be prepared for life without monsters or up beating? I worry for the Gilmore Girls generation. Thank goodness PJ came along to bring them misery and oliphaunts.

Thrive to spite them

I finished watching RoTK EE the other day. I was in a weird mood so Denethor bugged the hell out of me and I got to the "shut up already and torch yourself!" point well before Denethor was at the torching point.

However, I was much more sympathetic to the oliphaunts and thought it wasn't fair that they were being killed -- they aren't evil! just mistreated!

And I read some of the appendix A and I didn't realize how old the characters were in relation to each other. Aragorn is older than Theoden who's older then Denathor, I forget where Frodo falls in this, but Sam and Faramir are the same age.

I really need to finsh reading the book and go through the Appendices more carefully.

Strawberry disappointment.

Finally watched the EEs back to back. Now THAT's how the films should be seen.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Where's the .cx URL from?

Good question. My totally uneducated guess is the Czech Republic.

Me: (Not holding myself anymore. Starting a whole speech about friendship and choices and trying to do the right thing despite everything and attempting to better and being there for a friend and how compassion may change everything and loyalty and trying and the internal fights and the taking of a burden you don't know if you can carry and - well, look at the "Firefly" thread for how I can forget myself when I start babbling about something I love andmeans a lot to me).

t loving Nilly lots

I believe vampires are the world's greatest golfers

Strangely enough, I just dropped by to post this: [link] which makes an excellent first installment to the trilogy of goofy animation.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That link 404s for me.

It was just linked to on a popular blog, so their ISP may be somewhat overwhelmed - I did get through eventually.
