The review of the RotKEE I've been waiting for is finally out--I love reading DVDverdict.com's reviews (their Firefly, Angel and Buffy reviews are not to be missed), and they really do a good job of including all the elements I enjoy on the LotREE sets.
Jayne: Here's a little concept I been workin' on. Why don't we shoot her first? Wash: It is her turn.
'Serenity'
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.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Oh, WAY hilarious! Hee!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
There's another one ... see JSw's post: JohnSweden "LotR - The Return of the King: "We named the *dog* 'Strider'"." Jan 19, 2005 11:21:58 am PST

Love that interview, sumi!
Billy’s Danny provides the much-needed comic relief, spending much of the movie prancing about in skimpy pink knickers.
For someone who spent three years in false feet, fake ears and a curly Hobbit wig, this was evidently no great hardship. "The knickers were more enjoyable than furry feet, that’s for sure," says Billy with his distinctive, defensive chuckle. "And it could have been worse. The director originally wanted me to wear a G-string. I put my foot down there. But I did try on lots of knickers. Big knickers, really small knickers. I’m an expert now. If there’s anything you want to know about knickers, I’m your man."

move out and draw fire
Kathy, thanks for the link to DVDVerdict...that was actually one of the better reviews I've read of the ROTK:EE. I've bookmarked them to check for other DVDs, since they discuss both the technical aspects of the format and the more artistic aspects of the content.
We've been inviting people over to watch the trilogy as a way to christen our new TV, and so far of the Americans at the embassy, only one has seen one of the movies (and she saw ROTK. Didn't like it, unsurprisingly). Several Greeks have seen them, but aren't that into them. One of the Greeks said to us, "You know there are only 8 fans of fantasy or sci-fi in the country."
I'm still boggled about why someone would go to ROTK without having seen the first two.

I see a 2005 release date, but was this really filmed after LotR? I don't like JRD, but I'd have thought he could find better work.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Heh, I saw an ad for that. all I could think was "JRD will do anything ." Except I didn't think in initials.
