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.
I liked Jack Black's response to hearing he was up against the entire *movie* as Entertainer of the Year.
I don't remember his response about LotR - but I looved the photo shoot of him and Will Ferrel as Liza Minelli and David Guest. Heee-larious. Almost as great as the QE photo shoot (alice in wonderland motif) and Kyan on his recent stardom: "Nooo, I wouldn't say my life has changed at all, I'm petting bunnies and wearing hair extensions as usual."
I went shopping for that book when it first came out, and the bookstore staff looked at me quite blankly. I may just venture out into pre-Christmas crowds for it.
Maybe.
Because I crave.
I don't remember his response about LotR
It was something along the lines of "The whole *movie*? That's not fair. Now, if it were just Frodo....I think I could take him."
Well what the hell.
This thread has been moving like gangbusters, even at 3 am since this movie came out.
I finally see it and everyone's all, "Eh. We've talked about all that. Let's move on to the next
Harry Potter.
" Humph.
Oh. Well you finally saw it, Aims...
t ducks

*ahem* 'scuse me. Sorry about the drool and whatnot.
I suddenly crave raw fish. I may have to settle for sardines.
You know the rules: Only when I am not home and YOU must dispose of the cans before I get home.
Blecch.
I'm betting there's a shit-ton of breath mints to be involved there somewhere, too.
WHOOHOO! Over at Salon, Stephanie Zacharek bitch-slaps that tacky stereotyped NYT article about how women don't like LOTR.

Yay. Go you Stephanie Z.
One would hope the NY Times would be above such laziness. But it does stir up page hits when that sort of article gets posted, so I expect the editors don't mind the controversy.
