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

Strangely enough, I just dropped by to post this:

which makes an excellent first installment to the trilogy of goofy animation.
It was just linked to on a popular blog, so their ISP may be somewhat overwhelmed - I did get through eventually.
Could be my Net Nanny, too. I'll try it from home, later.
The reaction shots in that .gif are funnier than the captions. I love Gandalf's look on
being reminded that he's not a ninja wizard.
