We're watching LOTR: Return of the King. We watched the first two movies (the extended director's cut, thank you very much) earlier this week.

Reply to vxbush in 2: I watched the first movie. Never got to the others. Love the books, but did not get into the movies. All that is gold does not glitter Not all those who wander are lost The old that is strong does not wither Deep roots are oft saved from the frost
From the ashes a fire shall be woken A light from the shadows shall sing Renewed shall be blade that was broken The crownless shall once more be king (Snap quiz - what character said this?)

Each person in the Shire is something towards to aspire
You're getting to be a hobbit with me
Let me symbolically praise the English yeomanry
You're getting to be a hobbit with me
I used to think that your appetite just meant you liked to eat
But now I must admit that I delight in your furry feet
It began as a fling, but I must make you my Halfling
As devoted as was Frodo's Sam Gamgee
You must slake my desire that's as big as all the Shire
You're getting to be a hobbit with me
No doubt about it
You're getting to be a hobbit with me

Or, if you prefer the Rolling Stones: I got nasty hobbits They’re on a quest with me Got to throw away the Ring to Keep Middle Earth free Trying to avoid the gaze of Mordor’s evil lord Only friend I really trust is This old Elvish sword— Come on now, fellows! Bilbo wrote a song to sing Maybe that’s why they call us the
Fellowship of the Ring…

Reply to Kosh's Shadow in 3: Bilbo writes it for "Strider" (Aragorn), who quotes it to Frodo.

In #7 buzzsawmonkey said: who quotes it to Frodo. Is that before or after Frodo gets "whacked" while fishing on Lake Tahoe, and reciting the "Hail Mary"?

Sorry, you're confusing Frodo with the brother of the governor of New York.

I'm so glad I haven't watched an NFL game this year. NFL honors Dreasjon ‘Sean’ Reed, 21-year-old fatally shot by IMPDThis NFL honoree livestream himself driving down the street shooting at peoples homes. Then livestreamed himself running from cops then shooting at them... before he got dropped by cops.

Reply to JCM in 17: I wonder what will happen when pro sports ratings drop so far they can't pay the inflated salaries. That will be coming in a year or 2.
