Zoe: Is there any way I'm gonna get out of this with honor and dignity? Wash: You're pretty much down to ritual suicide, lambie-toes.

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.

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."

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.

Heh, I saw an ad for that. all I could think was "JRD will do anything ." Except I didn't think in initials.

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

When I was waiting in line for Trilogy Tuesday last year, there was a girl in line behind us who hadn't seen any of the movies. Her boyfriend was a huge fan, so as a labor of love, she was accompanying him to the theatre to sit through twelve hours of LOTR. She was pretty excited, actually, but I couldn't help wondering how thrilled she'd be by the end of the day.

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

Trilogy Tuesday was the best. thing. ever. Our passes were laminated and hung on a lanyard. I still have it hanging in my bedroom.
eta: I really should proof before I post.

My Trilogy Tuesday pass is hanging next to my computer, and my giftee is sitting on top of my digital cable box, next to the mini-Minas Tirith that came with the RotKEE boxed set.

Oh my, I suddenly realized that I don't know where my laminants are! They need to go next to the DVDs and Minas Tirith and Smeagol. I'm keeping the film cell things in their boxes until I can backlight them.

I can't really tell what the first film cell is. I'm thinking it might be one of the scale doubles without his wig. The scene might be when Gandalf hands his staff and hat to Bilbo in Bag End, but I'm not sure.
I keep mine at work along with my Trilogy Day-by-Day calendar.
