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 drove into work behind a LotR fan today. How did I know this, you ask? Well, the license plate reading "ARAGORN" and the plate holder saying "There and Back Again" tipped me off.
I'm still thinking about changing my plates to "FLYUFLZ".

I was WAITING for the inevitable goolie joke. Glad to see the buffistas don't disappoint me.
Sorry for the delay -- I had work. It put me off my game. Also, the sun wasn't in my eyes.

LOVE the movies. Love them. Read the books aged nine, and I'm afraid that after the weepfest and trauma that was the end of TTT, starting off RotK and having to wait and wait and wait and WAIT to find out what the hell happened to Sam and Frodo just killed me. And eventually I skipped ahead. And as a result, the first two books are pretty much inscribed on my consciousness, but I realised that I had actually never read a chunk of RotK. So I got to have this extraordinary mixture of rereading something known by heart AND being mindboggled by all the Rohirim & Gondor stuff (especially Eowyn) when rereading the books last year. Fabulous.
Sam is still my favourite. Love love love love Sam. The Trials of Master Samwise - OMG, the snivelling wreckage that is me when reading. And Sam's attack on Shelob - BLESS his brave wee heart!

I bought FotR:EE on DVD at a time when I didn't own a DVD player, and my expectations of DVDs are now very much formed by Jackson's LotR trilogy.
