LotR Update

Reading through previous posts I noticed I said I was going to finish LotR. I didn't. It really takes an investment of time! And you have to be able to stay awake.

The grocery fund had a surplus and I had some mad money so I bought all three extended editions. Now we're starting over from the beginning. FM#1 and I watched FotR already. Over three and a half hours long!

He watched Two Towers and showed me the part where Eowyn realizes Aragorn is really old. Add to that the fact that he grew up with the elves - I guess he and Arwen do make more sense together. I acquiesce. Plus, he wanted me to guess who Eowyn marries. My guess was Faramir. He wouldn't tell me if I was right or not. Said I have to watch the movie and find out. But if I am right, then - yeah!

Okay, forgiving the fact that I haven't read the book so I'm only going by what the movie reveals, surely I am not the only one who thinks Eowyn is better suited for Aragorn than the shallow, forever-young Arwen. And let me just say that my favorite part of The Two Towers is Helm's Deep and I love, love, love the part when the Elvish army shows up and when they all snap their heads to one side. Those Elves can fight!

Almost makes me like Orlando Bloom. Almost.

To the Shire!

We're watching Lord of the Rings trilogy over here for the first time. Fantastic! Can't believe we haven't watched it before now. Having a hard time remembering all of those names.
