March 9 movie: The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. It took several days but I finally watched it with the director's commentary. Everyone who wants to see this probablty already has, so I'll just mention that I found the explanation of Frodo vs. Sam vs. lembas bread somewhat unsatisfactory. And that the funniest moments were: Peter Jackson admitting if he was too busy to walk all the way to the craft table, he would sometimes eat the lembas bread while no one was looking; and Fran Walsh commenting that she and Philippa Boyens sympathized with Shelob because she's an older woman who has hairy legs, has gained weight and can't get through spaces she used to fit into, and has an insatiable appetite.
