Oh, that's right -- Miramax turned them down. New Line was the company that LotR saved.
(I was just watching the Project Greenlight marathon on Bravo yesterday -- and I'd forgotten.)
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

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".
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 must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
a synthesis of Theoden and Denethor.
Just how would one do this? Put Theothor on a horse, set both on fire, pitch them out of Minas Tirith, and have 'em take out a bunch of orcs when they land?

Certainly would send Eowyn and Faramir to check "cousincouples.com" before planning the wedding.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
I finally got my trilogy slipcase! I know it sounds dumb but I'm a little excited to get home and put it on my DVD shelf.

I was excited when mine arrived too -- and the dvds look so pretty in their case.
Of course someday, when the Hobbit EE comes out, I'll need a bigger slipcase.

Certainly would send Eowyn and Faramir to check "cousincouples.com" before planning the wedding.
Especially since I can see them wanting to combine Eomer and Faramir into one character too.
