I just got it. Bwah!
Whoa. Good myth.

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 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.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

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.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.
A friend of mine who lives in Toronto just auditioned for the LotR musical. They said that she didn't sound "folky" enough based on her height (5'6"). (That phrasing makes me laugh. "I'm sorry, but your folkiness per inch just isn't up to our standards."
She isn't sure if they meant she would have been a human or a hobbit if she'd gotten in.
Anyway, it was an experience! She was number 400-something in line, and that was after the professionals had had a separate set of auditions. She was interviewed by Bravo and some comedy show, so I'll have to keep an eye out for that.
