Cory posts on BoingBoing about this Lord of the Rings slash video featuring characters kissing. He's making a copyright ethics point, but you know one of the first things I said when my wife and I left ROTK was "Am I crazy, or was that the most homoerotic of the three films?" I thought I detected lots of sexual tension between Merry and Pippin and then in the Frodo/Sam/Gollum business. The latter has lots of jealousy, spurning, and then a tearful hugging makeup. The question for those of you who have read the book in the last 20 years or have better memories than I do - is this all in the original text, or is it an artifact of the film?
