"Lathspell I name you; ill news is an ill guest."--Grima in the movie (I'll go looking in the book in a minute).

IIRC, lath-spell means "ill-news".

*GRIN* I knew that!...I was being facetious...Grima wasn't being very nice to Gandalf at all, calling him ugly names. Stormcrow is another name Gandalf has, but I forget exactly who calls him that one...Grima probably, but I know Denethor hs a few for him as well.

Hubby last night asked about denethor : "what's with the guy who's always eating?" I had to explain that Jackson did a twist on that scene, and it was not really what Denethor was all about.

*feels a rant coming on* so I'll stop now...

Yep. From the book:

"Lathspell I name you, Ill-news; and ill news is an ill guest they say."
