I've got two words that are going to make all the pain go away. Miniature Golf.

Mayor ,'Lies My Parents Told Me'

LotR - The Return of the King: "We named the *dog* 'Strider'".  

Closed Film and TV threads

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 won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Steph - loved hearing your take, as a non-reader: I'm so deep in the book-love I can't come at it from that perspective. Love your little Sunnydale parallels, too. Will have to ponder on that.

I'm with BHP et al on Denethor. It struck me as an image PJ just couldn't resist capturing; the Nazgul coming at Frodo on the bridge in Osgiliath in TTT strikes me the same way.

Viewing the 2nd will be Tuesday, I think.

Steph, I really don't think your responses are very far from many others here. Greater and lesser tolerances for certain things, sure, and a keen awareness that there are pacing problems.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

t relieved that the beating won't last very long....

I didn't have any pacing problems (but then I never viewed it as anything but the last third of one very long movie, which might explain that).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

From E Online:

Since the PG-13 New Line release's record $34.1 million domestic debut Wednesday, the concluding adventure detailing the trials, tribulations and battles of Frodo, Sam, Aragorn, Gandalf, Legolas, Gollum, et al., has earned $125 million. That's a five-day record for a movie opening on a Wednesday, beating the $105.6 million earned in May 1999 by Stars Wars: Episode I--The Phantom Menace.

Yep, Steph, I'm pretty much good with your points. Not actually going to shun or beat you (unless it's in the fun way...). You weren't so terribly blasphemous after all. Love your Sunnydale parallels, too.

*smooch*

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Denethor's a right fuck, ain't he?

He's not as much of a fuck (and there's backstory) as Legolas is pretty, though.

And that shot you were speaking of? Is it when he walks into Frodo's bedroom in Gondor ??

Cause. Yeah. Heheheheheh.

Hey Aims!!!!

What did you think? And what did you think of what Eowyn did? That's why she became such a big character for me.
