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?

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".

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.

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.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
imagines the Eowyn vs. Witch King fight with Uma in "House of Blue Leaves" mode as Eowyn.
Could have been interesting.

I'm thinking there's got to be another option between cringing/fearful and brittle/strident. Psychotic/haunted maybe? In any case, I'm not an Uma fan at all, so her as Eowyn would've been tough for me.
The bit in the extras where they're filming the Eowyn/Witch-King fight, and PJ keeps having them do it over and over and over? He's wearing her down on purpose, right? Is that because he wanted her stumbling and quaking for the fight, or sort of a larger scope thing, that all the other actors were pretty fatigued after years of filming, and she would've seemed too energetic next to them?
