At work they've got these xeroxed pictures of Agent Smith with a empty caption balloon, and people are supposed to fill in the balloon with something witty. If I can find a blank one, I'm writing "I miss the long hair and the pointy ears and the nifty crown."
Jayne: That's a good idea. Good idea. Tell us where the stuff's at so I can shoot you. Mal: Point of interest? Offering to shoot us might not work so well as an incentive as you might imagine.

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.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
ita, is that for TTT or ROTK? Either way, I can't see it fitting with the movies, but man do I want to see that scene!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
RotK -- it looked like it took place in Edoras, around when Mippin were dancing on the tables.

Also, there's a report on the Maryland Tuesday Trilogy over at TOR.n, and the article mentions the most unique costume I've heard about yet--"Motion Capture Guy!" Yes, someone went dressed in a blue body suit covered with yellow dots.

Aw. Well, that section is fairly light-hearted, so it might fit there after all. Any excuse for more Legolas...

And more Legola-Gimli in the same shot. It's hard to believe in their growing friendship when you hardly ever seem them together. It's the biggest drawback to using the scale doubles. Isn't John Rhys Davies the biggest guy in the movie--other than our Maori orcs?

So, you're holding in contempt an entire class of people
Critics are a "class" now?
I have a very low opinion of the profession of film critic, for which I was offering an explanation, but for which I do not intend to apologize. You are, of course, free to disagree and take in any stray critics you find cowering in the streets, victims of my class warfare.

RotK--yes. Christopher Lee is a few inches taller than JR-D, IIRC.

Ted, you were the one that started with the word class, for the record.
Connie -- John was the tallest of the Fellowship. But I'm pretty sure Christopher Lee is taller.

Powers of ultimate evil are supposed to be tall, I think it's in the rules. How else can one loom effectively?
