This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

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".

I have a plan.

Yeh, I just loved it so much I rushed right over and posted it without looking to see if it already had been. Oh well. It's good to know that a fine sence of humor is universal.

Take your fingers off it, don't you dare touch it, you know it don't belong to you, to you...

Yes it is. Especially when ninjas are involved. And laser bears. But especially ninjas, because they make everything cool/funny.

Art Crawl!!!

My trilogy holder thingy arrived! (I'm sure it has a better name -- I just can't remember what it is.)

Now, where to put them where they are both on display and easily accessible to watch?

Slipcover, that's what it's called -- but not really like the one on my couch at all.

Maybe it's a "slipcase".

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

I ordered mine and I'm still waiting.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Brought over from Movies:

Didn't they cast Uma as Arwen, but she had to back out due to pregnancy?

Actually, Uma was up for Eowyn and Ethan Hawke (whom she was married to at the time) for Faramir, which would have made the pick-up filming interesting, to say the least, since that took place after the divorce. Those were the last two major roles cast due to the holdup from Uma and Ethan being unable to coordinate their schedules.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Well, I'm glad we ended up with the cast we did. Nothing against Uma, but I'd much rather see long lingering close-ups on Miranda Otto. I think it's the freckles that seal it for me.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I don't know. After watching RoTKEE, I don't think Miranda Otto was the right choice for Eowyn. Or she was written wrong in the script or got wrong direction. But she should be death-wishy personified, not trembling and fearful.

Miranda Otto is good to see on camera, and there's a lot I like about her performance, but yeah, wrod. I don't know if this decision came from PJ/Fran/Phillipa or from Miranda, but either way it was wrong. I tend to blame the writers and director for it though, because, well, I do.

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

I think it was PJ/Fran.

Frankly, I don't like the brittle strident Eowyn too much, so I had no realy beef.
