Yes...and when that dark shadow rears up and then disappears on the wind at the end, well...that's just how you feel about the story...
To: JenB
Do you think they are going to the place at the falls? - I remember seeing early pictures of the falls, but the trailer and the descriptions on the screencaps at the official site indicates they are going to Osgiliath.

There is something very wrong with both of you, you know.... Yes, but that's why you love us so...
To: rightwingreligiousfanatic
MY FIRST ONE! RWRF talks about his first time...
To: Overtaxed
Oh be easy on Elrond, he is just acting as the concerned father! A raffish man is going to take his daughter away, and that love will bring her death, when she could have life.
Why does she have to give up her immortality? - Why couldn't she share one lifetime with him, and then go on to the other ages of the world alone?
To: HairOfTheDog
"Hers was the choice of Luthien"
She could not wed Aragorn if she was not willing to forsake her own people and cleave to him. She had to choose which people she would be part of - it a choice given to Elrond, Elros, and Elrond's children.

All this talk reminds me of the early days in the old Hole.
To: 2Jedismom
Yes! It's good to be back!
Also about the Luthien-choice - Men and Elves have different afterlives. Arwen was choosing to stay with Aragorn in this life, and always.

But is that a functional limitation on her life or a philosophical one? What if she didn't choose, or chose not to obey this principle, I wonder? - Aw heck Hair... it's fiction!
To: 2Jedismom
WOW! I saw it several times. Awesome is such an overused word nowadays, but it certainly fits. I predict TTT will win the Best Picture Oscar. It looks like it has something for everyone and will be relevant to current events, what with talk of wimping out changing into talk of war (Theoden). Lots more for the ladies to be interested in, too, with the love triangle, etc...
I CAN'T WAIT!
To: 2Jedismom
We need this new material eh? The next few months will be fun...
It is interesting though... last year, there were a bazillion threads, new discussions every day, and this time around we seem to only pour our hearts out here!
Is there any duty to talk on the other threads that will inevitably be posted so outsiders can share our interest? It seems unfair for me to go on other threads and just say "yeah this is cool, but we already covered it at length in the Hobbit Hole!"
To: HairOfTheDog
Heh... well, we're cutting down on the bandwidth! Just invite any likely parties over here for seedcakes and conversation.

Oh......my........word!!!!!
Somebody......fetch my medicine!!!!!!
*pant* *pant* The new trailer is AWESOME!
How could PJ DO this to us!?!?!?!?!?!? How in the world can we possibly last 78 more days?
BTW, do we know who Frodo is trying to stab? Hope it's not poor Sam.

Oh be easy on Elrond, he is just acting as the concerned father! I wasn't talking about the father part. It looks like he's given up hope on the mission and on the future of Middle Earth.
To: ksen; rightwingreligiousfanatic
Pretty good, huh? See why I was having a cow?
To: rightwingreligiousfanatic
You think? - I think it will most certainly be nominated! - But this one has neither a beginning or an end! I predict they award the third film, in recognition of the complete work... but what do I know?
Interesting observation about the link to current attitudes!
"I will not risk open war"
"Whether you risk it or not, war is upon you"
The wimmen will be pleased again this film, yes, for the same reasons they were pleased last time, and it will have nothing to do with the chicks in the film! ;~D
To: JenB
JenB, well written, wise beyond your years.
To: Overtaxed
What was that Elrond was saying about there being no more alliance between men and elves? Well all I've got to say about that is "fah foo!" ;^)

Yah... multiple handsome, noble, heroic Men, Elves, Hobbits - Dwarves if you're a little kinky, I guess - that's a chick flick, all right!
