DUDE! Tep! Your last whitefont?
Yeah. Same thought.
Why couldn't you be dealing drugs like normal 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.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

It just totally made me giggle.
And it further strengthens my theory of Frodo-Gollum-Sam mapping so well onto Buffy-Spike-Xander. Because, since Buffy showed mercy to Spike, he survived to be the one who defeated the First and sinkholed Sunnydale, like Frodo and Gollum.

I'm so blaming you if I start muttering "precioussssssssss" at the auction.
IJS.
Also, we had Raisinettes, and the motto on the box is Taste the Sunshine, and I managed to embarrass Paul with my goobish suggestion that Raisinettes, if they contained real sunshine, could be used to kill vampires. That's not really connected, but I thought I'd share.

Heh. At least the Ring is tasteful.

You have a point.
Man, do you ever have a point.

Right, because it never made me think, "Gollum? Great big queen." Not once.
The Big Gay Amulet, though? It cries out for it.

Sunnydale was my second thought. My first, oddly, was the end of The Dark Crystal.
I cried more at Lilo and Stitch, but I certainly had to wipe away tears at several points.
Weathertop was in FOTR, where Frodo gets stabbed by the Nazgul. It "was the great watchtower of Amon Sul."

That was my experience, too. Lilo and Stitch hit a lot of my "Cry now!" buttons, but RotK just made me a little sniffly.

And serially, that bit you identified as asspully was even MORE asspully in the book. PJ improved it a bit, actually. In fact, in the parody "Bored of the Rings," the eagle leader says, "Welcome aboard Deus Ex Machina Airlines!"

If I only had a brain...
I am righteously pissed at the treatment of Denethor.
Denethor is noble in his madness; he treats Mippen with extraordinary kindness and respect. He's a great king who, tragically, is convinced that their cause is hopeless.
He is not a tomato-dribbling maniac.
Also, he lies back down on the pyre with the Palantir in his hands. He does not run screaming down the hall like a special effect in a cheap music video.
