I've seen it twice in a row already.

Congratulations on snaiging the Precious!

I don't do cable, but have that on DVD.

From Another Christmas Story:

Kid in Line: I like 'Lord of the Rings'.

Ralph: Yeah.

Kid in Line: I like Treebeard.

Ralph: (Looks at him.)

Oohh, I found a site with really really nice pictures for desktops. All sorts of things you can't get at the official sites. It's here. I downloaded the Faramir/Eowyn pic for now and two Faramirs and an Aragorn for another time...

My desktop cycles to a new pic every thirty minutes... I never know what I am going to have!

Maybe you will be wanting to switch to a Legolas soon eh OT? ;~D

You too eh? - There are two REALLY pissed off people on JameRetief's Faramir thread. I am starting to like Peter Jackson more and more all the time! ;~D

I still dislike PJ's Faramir, but... he's very good looking!

I have over $75 in book-buying cards. Anyone have any suggestions?

That's what my sister says.

I almost broke down and used our two free passes today.

You do know that the freebies that came with FOTR SE expire on 12/31/02, don't you?

PJ's Faramir is not complete, but I know that anything not directly dealing with Frodo was cut back... I can fill in the blanks with my own knowledge and be content. Those folks are just so coarse and angry... I don't get that.

Books. Oh dear... you have read more different books than I have! What do you want to read?

There are two parts I'm disappointed about. One is where Faramir says he wouldn't take it if he found it on the road and the other is when Sam goofs and blabs about the Ring.

I think a lot of dialogue was cut there... I just got the feeling they said more. And I think I saw screencaps of Faramir that were not in the film. I bet there is a better, more complete interaction between them in the extended.

I think where they messed up his character the most is where they loft out the part about how he didn't want anything to do with Isildur's Bane. Taking Frodo and Sam to Gondor doesn't bother me that much because that was part of his orders (well take 'em to Gondor or kill 'em) was in the book.

OT: We were in NC a number of years ago, Biltmore Estate, Cashiers, Pisgah NF, thoroughly enjoyed the visit. Nice country.

BTW, TTT was showing darn near hourly today at the multi-plex. Had to see it again. :-)

Haven't been to the Asheville area in a while but I would like to take that hike up to The Devil's Courthouse.

I still have a freebie ticket to burn. I just can't decide when to go.

Hair: a dewalt cordless sawzall, Haroump, Harump, not planning on doing anything hasty with that are you?

Second showing quite a bit better, just sat back and enjoyed the movie, it flowed wonderfully. Theater was about 3/4 full for the 3pm showing, mostly adults.

Much less to quibble about. Except, why does PJ feel the need to have creaking sounds overlaid when the longbows are being drawn. There should be no sound at all, okay, maybe a shoulder joint straining.

Spotted the one left handed archer, in the warg fight scene. btw, Aragorn lost the short bow and arrows as he was dragged over the cliff.

I promise I will cut no living wood... well, just a few limbs here and there... promise!

I liked it much better the second, and the third time too. More time to keep up second time, and see everything!

Sound when the bows are drawn eh? Heh. I haven't notice that! - Now it will bug me. ;~D
