Anya ,'Get It Done'
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.
These metallic/gold 3-D rendered HUGE maps of Rohan, Gondor, the Shire, etc.
Drool...
I think I'd prefer something like this over a movie poster for my place. BTW, did you notice the family tree in the study at Bag End? It looked very neat--drawn like an actual tree, but it obviously had names in place of leaves.
Just so happens Kathy - that you can buy one in the same style (gold, 3-D) of all of Middle Earth right here.
But I can't find the individual Rohan, Gondor, etc. ones online.
Not that I'm frantically looking now or anything.
Darn you wee tina!!! t shakes fist tina-ward

Happy to do my part to make sure LotR-based products account for at least 25% of the GDP this year.

Saw it again with Emmett today (liked it better on second viewing since the disappointments were known and there was plenty of other detail to focus on for a second viewing).
Two notable Emmett comments:
on seeing Shelob stab Frodo
Emmett: "But he's wearing Lithril!"
Then I snuck a glance at him during the end to see if he was bored during the series of endings. To the contrary...
after the movie
Me: So what was your favorite part?
Emmett:
[thinks about it]
The ending.
Me: Did you get emotional?
Emmett: My eyes watered a little bit.
Hearting Emmett a lot.
All three movies have been that way for me - first shock at the disappointments, then growing appreciation for the details.

You should try hanging with Emmett in person. It's even better.

Actually, I didn't feel that way at all for FotR, a little for TTT, and the most of the three of them for RotK.
I was most disappointed in TTT intially. FOTR just floored me, and ROTK broke me into little pieces, whereas in TTT I found the changes (Faramir!!!) really distracting first time around.
