I suddenly crave raw fish. I may have to settle for sardines.
Also, you can tell it's not gonna have a happy ending when the main guy's all bumpy.

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".

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Shit's all sorts of different now.
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.

If I only had a brain...
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.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Very good article. I was hoping it'd be longer.

Hee! Funny cartoon.
WOOT - I'm going to see it again tonight. (This will by my second time.) Then once more on Wed. and I'll be done until it's DVD time. I need to get all my tears out tonight because I must.not.cry.about.a. movie.in.front.of.the.dad.

The male geek factor was present from the first installment, "The Fellowship of the Ring," which New Line Cinema promoted heavily online to reach that audience. Online promotion is still a big part of the marketing strategy, as countless "Rings" Web sites help sustain the true fanatics.
Now this is of course not the craziest bit in this article but - what? Only men go online?
I don't understand how anyone could find those movies soulless. I think they capture all the best parts of the trilogy (in spirit if not in plot) and leave out all the political/linguistic/historical stuff that makes it hard for many people to get through.

And about the aforementioned book: I bought it for Kenny last night, then sat down and read the whole thing myself. Shhhh, don't tell him.
