[Edited to put the couple of words that ended up here back in the former post. The "continues" feature is great, but those few words looked lonely in a post of their own, so I put them back with all their other friends.

One roommate fell in love with "Firefly", the other two really aren't into anything that has anything unrealistic (in the lack of a better word) in it. A friend is introducing me to "Gilmore Girls" and whenever I watch it's like "Look! Something with no monsters or beating people up! I can watch these things too! The News are worse than lots of the stuff I watch!"]

Roommate1: He has little silly tied things in his hair.

Nilly (Hi, Nilly!!), show her the footage from I think it's disc four, with the original version of the coronation that they shot during the principal photography in 2000. Elrond looks even goofier, with his hair done up in a ridiculously elaborate geisha-like style.

V. funny, John. My roommate loved it.

Roommate2: Lots of dying in this movie.

Somehow I don't think Helm's Deep would make a good impression these folks.

Look! Something with no monsters or beating people up!

Pfft! How can people be prepared for life without monsters or up beating? I worry for the Gilmore Girls generation. Thank goodness PJ came along to bring them misery and oliphaunts.

I finished watching RoTK EE the other day. I was in a weird mood so Denethor bugged the hell out of me and I got to the "shut up already and torch yourself!" point well before Denethor was at the torching point.

However, I was much more sympathetic to the oliphaunts and thought it wasn't fair that they were being killed -- they aren't evil! just mistreated!

And I read some of the appendix A and I didn't realize how old the characters were in relation to each other. Aragorn is older than Theoden who's older then Denathor, I forget where Frodo falls in this, but Sam and Faramir are the same age.

I really need to finsh reading the book and go through the Appendices more carefully.

Finally watched the EEs back to back. Now THAT's how the films should be seen.

Where's the .cx URL from?

Good question. My totally uneducated guess is the Czech Republic.

Me: (Not holding myself anymore. Starting a whole speech about friendship and choices and trying to do the right thing despite everything and attempting to better and being there for a friend and how compassion may change everything and loyalty and trying and the internal fights and the taking of a burden you don't know if you can carry and - well, look at the "Firefly" thread for how I can forget myself when I start babbling about something I love andmeans a lot to me).

t loving Nilly lots

Strangely enough, I just dropped by to post this: [link] which makes an excellent first installment to the trilogy of goofy animation.

That link 404s for me.
