Hee hee. Still pumped a bit. It's strange. After Fellowship, it was all I could do to not be bouncing and squeeing and talking about it 24/7. I loved it loved it loved it.

After Two Towers it tooka couple of hours for the love to sink in. Thought and putting things together and asking questions about certain things (I haven't read, remember, at Sean's request).

This time, I felt almost anticlimactic. The pacing of this one was so different (to me, anyway) than in Fellowship. I'm not sure if it's the pacing of the movie itself or if it's me having been waiting for the resolution of this story for 3 years. It's probably a little of both.

And, my love for this series and this story, at least, what I've seen, knows no bounds. Now, that's not to say I'm going to read the books. I might, I might not. I might just want to keep the magic I got from the movies in my heart and, with the exception of MM telling me a little bit of what happens after, go on imaging things the way I feel they go.

However, it does not stop me from joking about certain things. I am convinced that the defeat of the Witch King was more like this:

WK: No man can defeat me
E: (takes off her helmet) I am no man!
WK: heh heh. Booobies.....Eowyn stabs him in the head
WK: D'OH!!

"The beacons of Gondor are alight, calling for aid. War is kindled. See there is fire on Amon Din, and flame on Eilenach; and they go speeding west: Nardol, Erelas, Min-Rimmon, Calenhad and the Halifirien on the boarders of Rohan."

Gandalf, to Pippin.

As a matter of fact, the beacons are mentioned on the very first page of the book, RotK: Chapter I - Minas Tirith...

(Edited, because I was going to quote the passage, hit enter too early, and found out that 'Suela and ita beat me to it. But it's on the very first page even. I was right. Go me.)

X-posty goodness!

Katie, you can't see me right now but I'm nodding vigourously at you. Thank you for expressing my Eowyn issues better than I could.

Why don't we wait out the week?

This, too, makes much sense.

Sean Astin was soo adorable and humble on that Bravo thing about being selected as one of the top entertainers of the year: "Seems silly - I can't even sing or dance." Liv Tyler seemed so not humble when she said "This is really humbling." This may have to do with my Liv Issues, though.

This may have to do with my Liv Issues, though.

Did she speak Elvish?

Re: Aimee's whitefont about the death of the Witch King.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

Did she speak Elvish?

Thank the lord for small miracles, she did not. Wait, let me amend: They did not show the inevitable part of the interview where she did in fact speak Elvish because even Bravo just can't take Liv Speaking Elvish any.more.

Bravo just can't take Liv Speaking Elvish any.more.

Bravo Bravo!

I notice Orlando and Viggo don't run about talking Elvish all the time.
