Angel ,'Sleeper'
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.
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.
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.

Now that I have it on DVD, that IS the movie I see.
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.

Oh, hells yes.
I love VG in that movie SO. Damned. Much.
At Whole Foods today, I noticed that Orlando Bloom is on the cover of the current issue of GQ. Scans of the pictures (not scanned by me) are here.

His apology to Kate Winslet for not building a better ship was THE most (possibly only) heartbreaking thing in the movie.

That, and his adjusting the clock on the mantel. And his chiding the chambermaid for not setting a proper example by wearing her lifejacket. He was just wondrous. I've heard repeatedly that A Night to Remember is the better Titanic movie by far, but something in me resists seeing a Titanic movie with such a deplorable lack of Victor Garber.

I wouldn't say by far, as Night to Remember suffers from its own 1950's tropes, and also doesn't have the boat breaking in half, which really is a bit of a loss.
