Billy: We disappear in the film for fifty minutes.

Dom: And that is probably some of the darkest piece of cinema, that you’ll see in those 50 minutes.

Billy: I think it’s actually a storytelling device. That it makes people get sadder and sadder.

Dom: Just long for Pippin and Merry.

Billy: Yeah, they’re thinking, “I’m missing something here. I don’t know what I’m missing.”

Dom: “There’s a piece of my life, a shard of my heart, has been torn out.”

Billy: “I don’t know what it is!”

Dom: “I don’t understand what it is.”

Billy: And then, there’s the two little buggers up a tree!

Dom: Ah!

Billy: Ahh, that’s better, eh?

Dom: Like a new sunrise!

Billy: Ah, it’s beautiful. Like someone’s just given you a cake.

Dom: Yeah. Or candyfloss. Or cotton candy, as you might say in America.

Billy: Mmm, cotton candy. Or a big bag of popcorn!

Dom: Or pumpernickel!

Billy: Ahh, pumpernickel. Rocky road.

Dom: Baby Ruths. You just get sudden chocolate bars then.

Billy: Mmm.

Dom: I look like my brother there.

Billy: Yeah.

Dom: I think maybe “The Two Towers” should have been called “The Adventures of Merry and Pippin.”

Billy: We shall rename it. Because I think we spoke about… I lost my train of thought. Say something for a minute.

Dom: I really like eggs in the morning. And bacon at night. Is that wrong?

Billy: No! Carry on, carry on!

Dom: When I was seven, I used to eat ants.

Billy: Got it! We were talking about… em… lost again.

(They laugh)

Billy: It’s quite incredible, isn’t it?

Dom: It was probably a lie, Billy.

*SO MUCH LOVE*

And I love how they provide commentary on each of the actors as the credits roll. It’s so MST3K!

Dom: Viggo Mortensen!

Billy: Mad as a fish.

Dom: Smells a little bit.

So much better than the Elijah/Sean/Andy commentary, which has a lot of bickering and talking over one another, and the Orlando Bloom, which is essentially just fanboying of his fellow actors. OR1337!!1! (Though John Rhys-Davies and Christopher Lee and Sir Ian rock my socks.)

Yeah, Dom and Billy. *happysigh* Stream of consciousness. So hilarious. And if you find someone in the world with a cuter accent than Billy, I will eat my laptop. (Yes, I still love you, Alan Cumming. But Billy never did “Spy Kids” or “The Mask II.” Shame, Alan. Shame.)

Meanwhile, today’s Bad and Wrong Yet Absolutely Hilarious award goes to PointlessWasteofTime.com for these two articles. Please don’t visit these links, Mom and Dad. (I need to set up a “No Children Named Emmy” system like Sam. That would be helpful.)

Just watched the Gollum “Behind the Scenes” segment on the TTT:EE DVD. If I wasn’t already comitted to becoming a 3D animator or special effects artist, this would have convinced me beyond all shadow of a doubt. Gravy. (Oh, and Andy Serkis is so cool there are no words.)

In case you missed them, here’s the record of what went on at the crazed CG Trio gathering the past week!

Photo Post #1 (First dinner)

Photo Post #2 (All in between)

Photo Post #3 (Final dinner, bowling)

Art Post #1 (F&S, A/L, Sex-me-up!Sirius, Jack Sparrow, Arr! Sea Turtles, K/O, Galiceydriel)

Art Post #1.5 (H/D, Luna, Rebel!Percy)

Art Post #2 (Armor!M&P, T/B vs. T-R, Monopoly!K/O)

Replies to Comments:

Tanja: Yes. Percy was heavily involved in all elements of the production of Return of the King, from start to finish. He was especially fond of Rosie Cotton’s smocking patterns.

Me: (Who are you? Identify yourself!) Yes, I saw the movies before I read the books. Is that a crime? I’d read The Hobbit and I was about halfway into FotR when the movies came out, but I put LotR aside for some reason, and now I’m going back after seeing RotK and now I’m reading the books after seeing the movies and probably enjoying them much more than I would have had I not seen the movies first. And dude, my respect for Peter Jackson has increased exponentially and I’m only on chapter 11 of Fellowship.

Moni: Mags is doing Simon and River for me, but alas, he is not shirtless. He is rather rumpled, though, and rumpled!Simon = lickable. And Alicey did a rather nice Simon as well, but she apparently is not so fond of it (even though it rocks) and has not scanned it yet.

Heeeeey! Pippin’s “Steward of Gondor” song was derived from Bilbo’s walking song in chapter 3 (“Three’s Company”) of FotR! Hee, It certainly has a different tone than it does in the movie. *is so amused* It’s very “There and back again,” rather than the movie’s “There and killed by orcs.” Ah, the joys of finally reading the silly things for myself. ChubbyandProcrastinatory!Frodo! Put-upon!Sam! Whiny!Pippin! ReallyLame!Nazgul! Huzzah!

I met a possum!

No, really. Coming back home from seeing Big Fish (maybe to be Peppered. eventually.), my dad had to slam on the brakes to avoid hitting it. It was quite cute. My dad then told me the story of Roansborough, TX, which calls itself The Possum Capital of the World.

“I don’t imagine they have much difficulty protecting that title, though,” dad continued. “I don’t think other towns would really consider it a coveted title.”

“But what if they did?” I asked. “They could have a possum-off.”

And now, while trying to find the correct spelling of “Roansborough”, Google tells me that Brasstown, TX, and Wausau, FL now claim the title of “Possum Capital of the World”. Roansborough is surprisingly mute on the issue, coming up with no hits at all. Of course, they probably don’t have access to the internet, what with all the possums chewing through the cables. So who wins? There can be only one, you know. And possumcapital.com is no help at all.

So let the possum-off begin! The losers have my condolances.

Edit: Dad just came into my room and told me it was spelled “Rhonesboro.” Too much Britishness affecting my spelling judgement. XD They have annual Possum Festivals and elect a Possum King and Queen. They have my vote.
