Guess what I did this afternoon???? I saw LOTR! At the Budget Cinema!! With my son!!

And I have to say, I love the movie more every time I see it.(4X)

I wasn't sure whether they would have the TT Trailer, but they did!!!

Still bawled when Boromir dies. And Gandalf too, of course.

My all-time record for seeing movies is 5 (The Exorcist and American Graffiti) but depending on how long the budget cinema is playing it, the record could be broken (after standing for 25+ years.:)

I wish I had more time to spend with you guys. Lately life has been moving too fast; all 3 kids are moved home from college for the summer, which was a chore, believe me. And piano lessons, etc. are winding down so maybe now I can devote more time to my favorite movie/book/story.:)

I think that is a record that should be broken! - Glad you got to see it again. I no longer cry at the sad parts. I grin because they are so well done... I cry at the happy/sweet/touching parts now. hehehehe

I also went to see FOTR at the $1.75 theater this afternoon, with my 19 year old daughter. The screen had an eight inch tear and the sound was just adequate, but we enjoyed it and were moved by it as much as ever.

That makes #5 for me (#2 for my daughter, who is usually away in college), probably my all time record also. It's really kind of rare for me to even go to a movie.

I was reminded once again that I'm always kind of amused by Saruman's description of his orcs as the "fighting Urak-Hai." It sounds like a college football team, like the "fighting Illini" or something. Maybe the Urak-Hai would be a good name for a sports team if the PC police don't decide orcs are a minority.
