Best interview ever.
Yeah. He's my hero.

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 charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
So far, every interview with a Mippin is in the running for funniest ever.
I tried to read the Premiere article the other day, and dipped into the Dom profile and stopped because it was depressing -- thinking of him living in LA with no work while the other hobbits (not to mention that pesky elf) were busy was just so SAD.
But now I want to know what the rest said.

I know! I felt so sad for him.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Well, I'm back.
The matinee crowd was curiously quiet. I think they were actually standees. Or sittees, in this case, although suttee would have been more exciting. The only time anyone reacted at all was at Gimli's "That still counts as one!" line.
Billy Boyd? Still with the face, and the voice, and the eyes. Auugghh. Astin? More auuuggghhh. Wood? Yup.
Oh--someone asked what the round scar was on Frodo's torso. The gash was from Weathertop, I think the round wound was from Shelob's stinger. Which, actually, wrong. Spiders don't have stingers, they (the females, at least) have ovipositors. They bite to paralyse and liquefy their prey. No I have not suddenly turned into billytea.
I want this on dvd now. Right now, in my own little living room so I can replay and slo mo and otherwise obsessively watch it. Now.

I thought it was from the troll - - you know from Moria.

That didn't wound him, did it? Wasn't it stopped by the mithril?

That spear never penetrated the mithril shirt, nor skin. Wouldn't have left a scar.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Headbutts are cool.
White light! White light!
Is that the inscription from the One Ring on the collar of Richard Taylor's coat?
I can think of a negative way to do it on velvet -- create a metal template with the letters cut/acided out, press the velvet with the template, and voila, stand-up velvet letters on a crushed velvet garment -- but I don't know enough about velvet for doing it a positive way.
Although, I imagine you can program a baseball-cap-embroidery machine like you see in malls to embroider the pattern easily enough. Heck, I can write it freehand relatively well, and I'm no artist.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
IIRC, you can use an iron and a stamp-type thingy to emboss velvet. Just have to find/make a stamp of the inscription. (no I've never done it, just saw it on a website somewhere)
