Right, so I finally remembered the notes I'd taken during last week's RotK viewing, and transferred them to the computer.

Pre-movie

Man, it has clearly been a while since I went to see this movie. I hadn't realised it was almost going out of the ttheater, and I was really surprised that there was only one show a day anymore. Maybe it's because it's Thursday, which is a slow day for movies, which is the reason Thursday is my movie night, but there's only three other people here!

I'm kind of depressed, now. This is it, now the only way I'll ever see the movie(s) on the big screen again will be if they do a Trilogy showing again. Note to all movie theater owners: You will earn the undying love of geeks worldwide if you throw annual Trilogy showings. Seriously. Or do you want to be responsible for a major wave of depressions in the geek community when we all collectively realise next December that there won't be another LotR movie coming out?

(In my ideal world, Trilogy Tusday will become a tradition not unlike Rocky Horror. Think about it: geeks dressed up in garb, maybe even some comebacks from the audience. (I'm thinking a chorus of "Thank you, Captain Obvious!" here, for example.) It'd be great!

... And now I want to try my hand at an Audience Participation thing for all three movies. Think Interactive Menace. Hm.

The thing about taking Gimli with me to the movies is that I can babble on at length about whatever comes into my head while I'm waiting for the movie to start. This is possibly a bad thing.

Okay, now at least there's ten other people in here, eleven counting me.

Trailers

Hm, Van Helsing looks like it'll be an intersting movie. And by "interesting" I mean of course it looks like total cheese, but there's Hugh Jackman, and it's exactly the kind of horror I like, so I'm going to see it come hell or high water.

Still not entirely sure about The Passion of the Christ.

Kay, that makes about twenty now, I think. I feel a bit less depressed. Though seeing the Troy trailer would be even better. :D

I'm touch typing this entirely, so I can only hope I'll still be able to read this later.

Okay, it's probably a sign of my twisted mind that this Stella Artois commercial makes me wish there were more historical movies, and more fantasy movies, or any kind of movies really catering to my tastes. Sigh.

Movie

Down in front!

Best thing about a nearly-deserted theatre: I get to take off my bra and put my feet on the chairs in front of me and no one will mind. Ah, comfort.

Andy Serkis is still incredibly creepy. And Déagol is ... kinda cute? (Ack!) Heee, it's Hobbit!Gr&iactue;ma!

I really want a Sam plushie. Preferably life-sized.

Pippin!<3!

God, I love this music.

"Hail the victorious dead!" "HAIL!!"

Love love love Hobbit drinking songs!

(Dammit, Jaida, you and your Ass of Gondor ATE MY BRAIN!)

Mmmmm, violent!Sam ... Sexy!

Am now convinced Thandruil is indeed great big drunk, as has obviously dropped Legolas on his head many, many times as child.

Ahahaha! Legolas is so groping Aragorn.

Yay Boromir's arm guards!

Sad!Hobbits: so heartbreaking it should be illegal. Also, poor guard. "First hobbits, now kings, will people PLEASE stop PUSHING ME, here?"

Shave, goddamn you, shave!

Daddy!Elrond always makes me cry. A lot.

"In fact, it would be best if you don't speak at all, Peregrin Took." Heee!

BOROMIR! *sobeth*

Secret stairs: AUGH! Pardon while I whimper in fear.

Appearance of Witch King = SEXY!

Fool of a Took, take off your cape while climbing!

OBJECTION! The King runs like a little girl!

Die, Éomer, DIE!

GET. OFF THE. LEDGE!

Dear Sam: Please stop making me cry. Ktnxbye. (You too, Pippin.)

Dude, Anduril = BIGGEST (literally!) phallic sympbol EVAH!

"The stubborness of Dwarves." Love, love, love!

Love the relationship between Théoden and Éowyn.

SMACKDOWN!

Deep down, Galadriel is just a little girl. I bet she's the one who "accidentally" makes Thandruil's trousers drop down when he's drunk on a table again. Hee!

Saaaaaaam! Knight in shining armour!

You'll note how the notes become more and more sparse (and cryptic, heh) nearing the end, and I've no notes at all for after Shelob, mostly because I was too busy sniffling to think about anything else.

If that's the Stella Artois commercial I'm thinking of, isn't it the BEST EVER? With the son returning from the war? I love it so much. My sister and I were killing ourselves laughing at it when we went to see Jersey Girl, but I don't think anyone else got it. heh.

I don't think I've seen it, actually. This one had vikins!
