Lord of the Rings
Feb. 18th, 2003 08:24 amWell, I decided on watching both "released" LotR movies tonight back-to-back (and had dinner somewhere around 2am). It took me 7 hours, but I did it and WOW. I laughed, I cried(sobbed is more like it), I hugged a lot of pillows and scared my cat half to death with squeals.
And yes, I'm utterly convinced Frodo and Samwise are a perfect couple. I actually had a discussion about this with my little sister months ago after we both saw the first movie- and she's pretty much as non slash as you can get (though I have her half convinced about Obi/Qui) I was actually yelling "Kiss him!" somewhere near the ending of Two Towers *G*
But really, I adored the movies. I'm really glad I got the time to see them back to back- twas draining but in a very good way, if that makes any sense. Legolas, ah, he killed me. Too gorgeous and sexy all at once. And Gollum, oh, I loved him and I hated him. Oh, but the love... and the battles... and the men all wet out in the rain... and Merry and Pippin were amazing... and the dwarf tossing *G* Truly lovely, both movies. Wish I had time to watch them all over again today. But the sun has risen... and I'm on too much of a high to sleep... ug.. I'm screwing up my whole sleep schedule! Twas worth it though. *sigh* Galdalf and Aragorn and Legolas *swoon*

Date: 2003-02-18 06:15 pm (UTC)As for LOTR... yeah, for some reason I just didn't jump the bandwagon when everyone else did and I'm watching the movies far too late. LOL But it was fun to watch them back to back last night... I'd only seen Fellowship once before(in December) so I needed a nice refresher and figured the new "extended" version would be a good way to do that. It took me until 8am but it was MOST enjoyable!
I saw you watched TTT alone (from your live journal entry) That takes courage. I've never done that, myself. I guess really everyone should do it sometime in their life... but I've never worked up the courage to see a movie alone before. I really should, though, considering my boyfriend's (BAD) taste in movies.I have to carefully select what to drag him to.
