Like I say, the line party I went with just went crazy during the preview. And many other people in the theater did too! People were cheering and whooping! And the show was packed...had to have been sold out because even the bad seats right under the screen were full.

I am so excited. I would just love to be able to see some of the pictures from it, nice and slow so I could ponder them. Do you think PJ will put out another 30 minute special like he did with FOTR? I hope so!

I thought that after I saw the preview, I'd stop wringing my hands. Unfortunately, I'm doing it worse than before!

I know! - I will probably go see it tomorrow on my way home from Easter festivities with the family. Trying to talk my Sackville-Baggins brother into going with me... He has only seen it once, and said he wanted to see it again before it leaves.

I just read through that script again... Really didn't read all of it when I posted it... just cut and pasted.... LMAO!

(Everyone BUT Eowyn laughs)

No really, I wanna know - why aren't you dead?

Wow!

We saw it last night. Had a similar experience to some of you, asking uncomprehending box-office people whether the preview was attached. But still, you don't trust them, really, until the music changes...

AIEEEEE!!!!

Oh, sorry. Dang, I'm getting old. I tear up even just thinking of that; I've never reacted to a movie quite like this one. Fourteen viewings, and I still can't get over how well Jackson captures so many things! Ah, well...

Like you all, the three minutes went by like three seconds for Valerie and me. We gasped at Gandalf, we yelped with delight at Treebeard, were in awe at Helm's Deep, shuddered at Grima Wormtongue (how could that guy ever get a job in a royal court? was basically Valerie's good question; my reaction is just that I feel sorry for Brad Dourif almost always playing bad guys, he's such a good actor — but, dang, he does it so well!).

And we howled when it was over. I shouted, "More! Again!" Valerie said "Is it December yet?"

So, what's that about Arwen lying, looking dead? I heard some speculation that she, not Merry, strikes the Nazgul; hope it isn't so, hope she doesn't take Merry's or Eowyn's climactic place. Anyone know?

And to the writer above who hopes Aragorn isn't tempted by Eowyn: I don't TOTALLY agree. I'm such a dimwit that I confess that almost every time, on my first readings of LOTR, I expected Aragorn to end up with Eowyn. I mean, you hardly even hear of Arwen as you simply read the books. There are places between "I'm totally uninterested" and "Arwen? Arwen who?" Like, "I'm totally committed to another whom I totally love... but if there were two of me...."
