Toronto is having an IMAX LotR Trilogy marathon.
Thank you for the heads-up, sumi. Tickets acquired!
And Kaylee, what the hell's goin' on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?

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.

Because they haven't squeezed all the discretionary income out of Beverly, Jeff Mejia, Sumi and Kathy Astrom yet?
Hey! I never got the Gollum statue! (I would have killed for some Ent bookends, though). And I haven't broken down and bought the Minas Morgul thingy (yet).
After going throught the commentaries and extras, I still find it almost impossible to believe how closely they got to missing the deadline. Everybody talks about how they buckled down to get things done, but I'm surprised no one went postal.
I do love the look on Elijah Wood's face when he tells the story that Peter Jackson hadn't seen the full cut of the film until the premiere.

John -- I'm glad somebody was able to benefit from that news. I will admit that I was underwhelmed with RotK on IMAX when I saw it -- but I think I remember that the sound was bad in the theatre.

There's a good report on the Richard Taylor/Tania Rodgers talk in Australia on the front page of TORN (both the report and a streaming video are linked from there).
I didn't know that Taylor is rather deaf, apparently from his work. This might explain the volume of his voice. He does laugh when telling about dealing with Viggo and his softspoken ways (apparently, Viggo had no problem giving Taylor a hard time).

Is it okay if I just sit here and smile serenely, basking in the glow of other fans?
Mmmm. Tolkien. I'll try not to dribble on and on and on. I'll just sit quietly, smiling.

You're completely correct. And it's been a "keep Alex alive during BORING BORING WORK" stuff to read the thread so far. Eee!

StuntHusband (mind if I call you SH for short?), you should definitely check out the closed Two Towers thread if you haven't already. Lots of good stuff in there, too!!

The name of the thread makes me happy.
