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 saw this press release on my Wizard News email and was at first very excited, but reading more carefully, I realized that they are releasing the COMPLETE soundtrack of FoTR only -- 4 disks of just FoTR. I guess next year: TTT and in 07: RotK.

Sigh.

RotK was on Encore today and will be again tonight at 9 Central.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

According to the imdb it's Viggo's 47th birthday today. Hippo birdies, Strider!

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Saw a commercial for the new Night Stalker last night during Lost. Every time Stuart Townsend showed up on screen, I automatically compare his face to Viggo's and bless PJ's wisdom in ditching ST for the unknown (to him) Viggo.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Heh. JZ and I played that game last night, Kathy.

"Look, it's Not!Aragorn."

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Yup, Not!Aragorn, here, too.

move out and draw fire

Although even with Viggo, it's clear that PJ's image of Aragorn was thin and a little...feminine? Emotional?

Oh lordy - think of the love scenes if they'd been Townsend and Tyler. People would have lost IQ watching the movies.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I would have lost more IQ points. Had I been the sort to take pee breaks, those would have been the moments, even with Viggo.

Blech.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

I don't think it's Townsend at the root of that effect. I used to know how to do logarhythms, back before I saw the animal crackers scene in Armageddon.

I was always very grateful to PJ for considerately building in pee breaks.
