I like Elrond saying to Aragorn "You need more man".

And then Eowyn responding "You cannot abandon the man" later on that evening. What happened in that time period I wonder?

The slash-monster in me wants to get out to write that one. . .

I'm so totally *squee*ing over the fact that the "Filthy with love" caption is there... ;D

How could I leave that one out? It's probably the best one of the lot!

"Filthy with love" -- and creepy ol' Denethor touching my Pippin!! Aiiiiieeee!!!

Other Favs:

Gandalf: I am the old god. (cool! And not too inappropriate.)
Gandalf: Stop it. (Always to the point, our Mithrandir!)
Orc: No cause stuff peak. (WTF?)
Gandalf to Aragorn (or vice versa?): And save passion across the Prince of Cocoa. (Bwah-hah-hah!!)
Frodo: I can see the shine! (Stay away from the light, Frodo! Nooooo!!)
Bilbo: I think I'm quite ready for another of day job. (Um, a little late for that, isn't it Mr. Baggins?)

Heeee!

how do these subtitles get made?

It's from a ermmm.... a version - yeah, that's it! a "version" of RotK from another country in which someone who isn't very good at English attempts to create English subtitles for a movie that's already *in* English.

The attempts aren't usually very good at all but can be highly entertaining.

Thus was born "Engrish."

I loved your two captions Molly 1trilliongrams July 31 2004, 02:45:46 UTC
So I didn't do any on those pics so that you may "win" the caption for them. I loved:

The whole "Shine" situation. Sam and Frodo really like Shine.
Like schizokitty said: Filthy with love.
Gimli: Oh
Elrond: What about your...?
(later) Elrond: You need more man.
Frodo (not exact quote): "It's been four years to the day where I took Sam." I know it says same but I like it with Sam much more.

They mangled poor Legolas and Gimli's lines.

Don't be silly! Write all you want. Yours are hilarious (so are the others people have put in) - I've been snorting and giggling at my computer here tonight. Fabulous.

The Siegfried & Roy thing killed me, as did the ongoing discussion of "Shine". :D
