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)
Tara: 'Your One-Stop Spot to Shop for Lots of New-Age and Occult Items.' Catchy. Giles: Think so? Tara: Uh huh. In a... hard to say sorta way.

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".

Thanks for all the fish.
Well, Beverly beat me to the explaination of Frodo's round scar. I agree that it was Shelob's stinger.
Was I the only one that suffered massive chills when the Rohirrim galloped into battle screaming 'DEATH DEATH DEATH'?
Because I'd find that very hard to believe.
Also, the movie very desperately needs to have The Houses of Healing in it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
How could the stinger leave a scar? Isn't it supposed to be a suppurating wound at that time? Also, wouldn't it be where we can't see it, since where we could see would have been mithril covered?

Thanks for all the fish.
Hmm.. Interesting points, ita.
But... I recall that it was an open wound in the orc tower, and a healed one in Minas Tirith.
I could be wrong.
Your point about the mithril protecting him is valid.

I don't remember seeing anything open in the orc tower. And I just realised that mentally I had him waking up in Rivendell, which makes absolutely no sense. Back to Minas Tirith he goes.

And yes, it must be said. Elijah Wood should be nominated for Hero of the Board, since he takes the simple and time honored tradition of skulls colliding and all unintentional like makes it slash.
Oh, and my other favorite thing is that the Art Department made a door the Uruk-Hai couldn't knock down. They can build my castle any day.
And they had the same Swordmaster as The Princess Bride. Sweet.

Thanks for all the fish.
The extras are things of massive beauty.
I love that Karl Urban and whoeveritisthatplaysHaldir are so utterly gorgeous as their real selves.

I think in the book Frodo has a bruise at least from where the orc spear hits him. But I don't have it here so I may be wrong. I thought Shelob got him in the back of the neck, though.

Thanks for all the fish.
Hmm.. Looks like I'll have to see the movie again.
The only place I cried was Theoden's death.
Oh, and I thought that Denethor's death was handled much better in the book. It's one change that I'm seriously unhappy about.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
And they had the same Swordmaster as The Princess Bride. Sweet.
I think he is actually the only swordmaster in the entire world. Or whenever he dies they replace him immediately with a new model. He also did the rapier fights in The Count of Monte Cristo (the recent one), and in that case, one of the fighters really was left-handed. (Jim Caviezel.) I think they made him fight right-handed anyway; I can't remember.
