'Conversations with Dead People'


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.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Someone posted this over in Natter earlier today, but in case you're an advocate of the Natter diet and missed it, Stephen Colbert LotR fanfic!

Also, as a followup, the Flick Filosopher says on her blog that:

[Colbert] and I were in attendence of the same press screening of The Return of the King a couple years ago, and he was so full of beans in anticipation of the film that while we were all waiting for the movie to start, he literally ran around the theater trying to get us all to join him in doing the wave.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I thought I could not love Stephen Colbert any more than I already did, but lo, I was wrong.

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

In the current issue of Time (I think that's what I was reading at the newstand) they confirmed that Viggo did indeed present a special candy coated present to Steven Colbert - a portrait of Viggo-as-Aragorn painted in frosting inside a chocolate frame.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

My secret boyfriend! Mine! You guys beat it! That includes you, Viggo - go make time with Orly or something.

::distracts Orly with small shiny object, runs off with Viggo::
