(I was just watching the Project Greenlight marathon on Bravo yesterday -- and I'd forgotten.)
Zoe: Jayne. This is something the Captain has to do for himself. Mal: No! No, it's not!

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.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
a synthesis of Theoden and Denethor.
Just how would one do this? Put Theothor on a horse, set both on fire, pitch them out of Minas Tirith, and have 'em take out a bunch of orcs when they land?

Certainly would send Eowyn and Faramir to check "cousincouples.com" before planning the wedding.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
I finally got my trilogy slipcase! I know it sounds dumb but I'm a little excited to get home and put it on my DVD shelf.

I was excited when mine arrived too -- and the dvds look so pretty in their case.
Of course someday, when the Hobbit EE comes out, I'll need a bigger slipcase.

Certainly would send Eowyn and Faramir to check "cousincouples.com" before planning the wedding.
Especially since I can see them wanting to combine Eomer and Faramir into one character too.
