More LotR babbling.

[bubosquared]

Wheee! Hobbits! Elves! Dwarves! "Pip"! theirloveissoprecious! Gandalf the Gay! Er, Grey. (Dammit, Anna! :p) Boromir! Aragorn! "I would have followed you, my brother, my captain, my king." Eeee! Rugged warrior sex!

Wait, that last one was just my imagination, wsan't it? Dang it all. ^__^

So, yes, My LotR viewings count is now up to three. Give it time, yo. And I even took notes this time! Let's see if I can read them ...

Hm. We got trailers for Ocean's Eleven, which looks like something I'd like, and Ali, which I'm gonna go see this weekend. Because I like Mohammed Ali, and Will Smith is hot. And seems to do a good job in this movie.

Okay, in the intro, we see the Three being given to the elves. Galadriel is one of them. Who're the other ones? (I should know this, shouldn't I? Was also quite disappointed the rhyme wasn't recited in the movie at all. :( This might explain why every time the voice-over (or, later, Gandalf) says "in the land of Mordor" I whisper under my breath "where the shadows lie." I'm a great big geek girl.

Then there's the battle scene, which is ... holy crap! Breathtaking. And Hugo Weaving ni battle armour makes me want to do nasty things to him. And oh, oh, the Elrond/Isildur vibes! I was vibing out of my seat, yo!

BTW, was I hallucinating or was there at least one woman in the battle scene?

Moving onwards to the Shire. Merry and Pippin stealing the firework. "No, get a big one." Ahahahahahahaha! A big one! Bwahahahaha! Oh, god.

I'm probably the lsat one to notice, but I loved how Gandalf surreptuously insinuated chapter titles from LotR and TH into some of his dialogue? So cool.

When they're hiding from the Nazgûl, right after running into Merry and Pippin, you can see Merry and Pippin and Sam huddled together ovre the mushrooms, and I may or may not have had a threesome moment. Oh, and a bit later, on the ferry, Frodo takes this giant leap right into Sam's arms! Squee! theirloveissoprecious! That goes for the other Hobbit pair as well. I melt every time Merry calls Pippin "Pip". Cause no one else does that! And then! When Frodo gets stabbed by the Morgul sword and Sam rushes to his side and Frodo sighs softly "Oh, Sam" and eeee!

Then we have Rivendel and Elrond and the Council and Elrond being amused/bemused/midly irritatred by all those fecking Hobbits popping out of nowhere an every time I see that scene I squee a little more. Give me a couple of more viewings and i'll just implode from the squee of it all.

Hm, seems I got distracted by that whole movie thing at this point, because the next thing is a note on the glance (or rather, the GLANCE) Aragorn and Boromir exchange on the Pass of Ca-something. Mmmm, smolderingly good. ^_^

Oh, Moira. I love Moira. And the drums in the deep, can I just say they scared the living daylights out of me? Good fucking god. (This is probably to blame on Mr King and his special brand of psychological horror. That one story with the toy monkey? I've read it about a dozen times and I still get freked out about it. Fucker.) Also, Boromir saying "They have a cave troll" in that "Oh joy" kind of voice.You're right, Sae, it's great.

Lothlorien. Does anyone else think that thing Legolsa is wearing looks like a satin dressing gown? o_O Also, the Boromir/Aragorn conversation seems to have spawned a bunny. I quote my notes: "A = B's father? Eeep!" And that's all i have to say about that!

Death scene made me cry. Again. My knuckles have bite marks on them. Fuckers.

Gandalf the Gay
::snorts:: Hilarious! Why didn't I come up with that one?
I whisper under my breath "where the shadows lie."
The movie does that to me as well, I think it's horrible that they left it out. They should have at least recited it once, it's always been so important to me. I mean, even most of the people who never read the books before probably know that poem. It's really missing.
And Hugo Weaving ni battle armour makes me want to do nasty things to him.
To me, too. I mean, who would have thought that this (http://siria.myip.org/images/LOTR/Elrond/hugoweavingrl.jpg) not too-sexy-blond-man could ever look like that (http://siria.myip.org/images/LOTR/Elrond/elastalliancealone.jpg)? He's amazing. And I'm not only speaking of his appearance here, but also his voice! Do you remember the scene when he says "We can't fight both, Mordor and Isengard!"? I have no idea why, but everytime I hear him say that I have a hard time not to run up to the screen and drool all over it.
Also, Boromir saying "They have a cave troll" in that "Oh joy" kind of voice.
I so adore that scene! Boromir in general is totally adorable, but that scene drives me crazy every time. And I'm always the only one in the cinema who laughs about it, do you understand that? I don't.
Does anyone else think that thing Legolsa is wearing looks like a satin dressing gown?
::giggles:: I always thought it looked sort of weird, but I never ever compared it to a dressing gown. Which in fact is a good comparison. ::snort:: It really does look like one. It's cute though, only they should have given one to Gimli as well...
I usually start crying in the beginning when Frodo asks "What must I do?" and then cry occasionally during the movie until Gandalf's mine-incident. And then I don't stop until the lights go on. ::shrugs::
::bounce:: Will see it for the 7th time tomorrow. Yay!

"Not too sexy"? Hmpf! ;)

Seven times? I'm jealous!
