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.
River: You're not right, Early. You're not righteous. You've got issues. Early: No. Oh, yes, I could have that. You might have me figured out, then. Good job. I'm not 100%.
'Objects In Space'
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".

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

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
I'm still boggled about why someone would go to ROTK without having seen the first two.
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.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
At work I have a map of Middle Earth on the back of my office door. I'm considering a calendar, but that'll probably live at home, where I can drool in privacy.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
StY's film cells were reversed. He's keeping it, greedily speculating it'll be worth money someday, like those stamps that were accidentally printed upside down that are worth a fortune today.
I have Elrond at the battle in the prologue, Arwen in her widow's weeds, and Gandalf on the balcony at Minas Tirith. You can just see Pippin in bed. Billy talks about that in the commentary.
I still have to send off for the rebate, and I'm struggling with whether or not I want to order Minas Morgul. I'm also cruising for a set of the Argonath on ebay. I have the calendar page of Boromir with the horn of Gondor that Jessica sent me framed and on the wall in my office. And my screensaver cycles pictures from my hard drive every 20 seconds--nearly half of them are LotR caps and stills.

Take your fingers off it, don't you dare touch it, you know it don't belong to you, to you...
This is goofy. And yet hilarious: [link]
