Who wouldn't like that? Plus, there's the added bonus of making Trudy very jealous!
I'm just happy to see she's being raised right.
I'm not jealous.
I'm not all that jealous.
I'm a little bit jealous.
But just a little.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

So, by my calculations, from Thursday to today I spent 23 hours at work.
As god as my witness, I'm leaving before lunch tomorrow.

Missing visions with Arwen means missing out on Hot!Dead! King Elessar and Hot!Future!King Elessar with son. Also, I love the graceful Elven smithies - particularly when compared to the orc smithies from FotR.
I also love that Eowyn takes out more Oliphaunts than Legolas. And that, in the EE, I think King Theoden recognizes her when she is fighting on foot after her horse gets trampled and before the Witch-King attacks him.
I switched over from what was on tv to my EE around the time that Denethor was getting ready to burn Faramir. So, I'm not sure that the battle between Eowyn and various orcs that Theoden witnesses is in the regular version.

I'm catching up on my TV viewing. I'm up to this week's Ghost Whisperer and I can't help but wonder why Melinda is being attacked by the Giant Tiki from The Brady Bunch Hawaii episode?

Who knew the Giant Tiki was an outraged Audrey Hepburn fan?

Matt, I think that probably makes more sense than whatever the official reason was.

It's not. It's only in the EE that you see Eowyn kicking the ass of that Orc general and really looking like a competent warrior in her own right. It shall always remain my great disappointment, however, that Eowyn didn't stand up stronger against the Witch King. She didn't cower nearly as much in the books.

Jackson did seem to have a harder time with the female characters, didn't he? Though it's not as if Tolkein gave him much to work with. At least Galadriel was perfect (except for the Smurf Vision special effects).

I've said it before and I'll say it again -- I was disappointed that they didn't hew closer to Tolkien's original dialogue for the scene between Eowyn and the Witch King. In interviews they've [Jackson and Boyens] said that the language was too baroque, but they lifted Galadriel's "In place of a Dark Lord, you would have a queen..." almost word for word. I think they could have found something a little closer that still functioned. And with it being one of my favorite scenes in the book, it made for a bit of a let down.
