I discovered that two of my nieces and my soon-to-be niece-in-law, who range in age from 18-21, all saw the movie and loved it, but complained at the relative lack of Orlando screentime. It was like those Foxtrot cartoons come to life.
Whoa! I... I think I'm having a thought. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a thought. Now I'm having a plan. Now I'm having a wiggins.

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".

Did not get Viggo in my stocking. This Santa thing is a fraud--FRAUD, I say. Fraud. Fraud. Fraud.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Sign you've seen LotR too many times: this makes you giggle.

Oh dear. I've not only seen LotR too many times, I've been a housewife for too long. After I stopped giggling, I thought, "It's mine! It came to me. My precious!"

Hee. "I return to you now, at the turn of the Tide (tm)."
It was a very LOTR Xmas around here, with the notable exception of another printing of the books themselves. Which is fine, as I believe we have about 10 versions in English alone.
Obsessive? Surely not.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I'm glad we got him as Theoden instead, as it's hella fun when watching Titanic to shout "HAIL, THEODEN KING," every time he comes on screen as the captain of the ship.
Hee! One of the (many) things that pissed me off about Titanic was the focus on the fakey-fakey Doomed Romance (TM). They should have just set the cameras on Bernard Hill and Victor Garber and let 'er rip.
That would have been one hell of a movie.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
They should have just set the cameras on Bernard Hill and Victor Garber and let 'er rip.
Now that I have it on DVD, that IS the movie I see.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
There's a B&W British A Night to Remember which was a fairly low-budget effort in comparison (though it has file footage of the actual Titanic in it) which practically is the movie you really want. Except for the different cast, of course.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
They should have just set the cameras on Bernard Hill and Victor Garber and let 'er rip.
Oh, hells yes.

If I only had a brain...
I love VG in that movie SO. Damned. Much.
