Cellar Door

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

As I lay half in a nightmarish daze yesterday morning on a futon, I finally woke up to the equally nightmarish "Frank". I then proceeded to wake up entirely as the movie rewound to the beginning, and then watched Donnie Darko for the first (and probably not last) time. I had thought, during the discussion of "Cellar Door" on this thread, that the reference would be barely perceptable, and that I would have to search to find it. I was obviously wrong, and was, while watching it, able to pass on the true identity of the "famous linguist" to those I was watching it with.

Watching Donnie Darko, however, I was struck with the thought "How many other Tolkien references are out there that I've completely missed?". Makes you wonder, does it not?
