Hey -- didn't Pippin [whitefont]
Yes, he did. You weren't imagining it. (Although I thought that was in the TTT EE, for the Flotsam and Jetsam sequence, or am I now putting it in the wrong place?)
Wash: I'm not leaving her side, Mal. Don't ask me again. Mal: I wasn't asking. I was telling.

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.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Ah! So ita's not just conjuring that. I missed it, myself.
Sean, your memory's just as likely to be any good as mine. Surely by now you know I pull stuff out of my hindparts as often as not.
I'm still whitefonting for the greater glee and screaming. I guess, at least, through the weekend, because it's hard to get around to seeing a movie till you've had a weekend.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Nutty, how were you defining sword master above? In the cinema industry, or within a particular martial art?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
In the cinema industry, it's more or less true. Bob freakin' Anderson does everything.

I was basically pulling a definition out of my butt, with exaggeration on top. I'm sure there actually are other swordmasters, but he's the only one I've ever heard of in the movies, and whenever a DVD talks about swords, sooner or later he comes up in the conversation. Usually sooner.
The joke is, he is like 80 years old. And while I'm sure he can still kill me dead, it amuses me to think of an 80 year old guy teaching whippersnappers how to strike with deadly accuracy and speed.

What's the technical definition of sword master?
edit: Ah, never mind.

What? You didn't see The Karate Kid?

Actually in Hollywood I bet it's like prop master -- the dude in charge of the swords and their handling. I know the gun guy is usually called the firearms master, or something like.

And rightfully so.
So, is there a Ballista Master for the big crossbows from Helm's Deep? That would be all different kinds of all right. If there isn't, I got dibs on the seige weaponry.

That's what I'd thought, and as old as Bob is, I'm thinking he'd be plumb tuckered out. But he does have PotC on his credits, so that makes me smile.
