The Shrine

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>How else saw LOTR : TT tonight? I know i did!</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Perhaps I'm alone in this...I couldn't help but feel as if The Two Towers just didn't "flow" properly. And yes, I realize that the companions have split up and their paths are currently seperate...but I don't think that's really what I mean. It's almost as if they did a butcher job in the editing process and ended up leaving waaaay too many poorly connected "book pieces"...scenes and events that either weren't really needed or simply didn't fit (examples in spoiler section).

Does anybody know what I mean?

Other than that, the SFX were absolutely AMAZING and the character Gollum completely stole the show (though Gimli provided a lot of comic relief).

Can't wait for the third...

<b>Spoiler Message:<b>
<span style="background: black; color: black;">Ok...Gandalfs transition to White wasn't fleshed out nearly enough, Gandalfs summoning of the horse was just stupid and out of place, Aragorn's relationship with that chick is completely devoid of substance, the cloaks (and clip) - which were cut from the first - confused most people (and you know they only didn't cut it because they probably spent millions on that Black Gate scene), Boromirs brother's scene "City Law dictates your life is forfeit if you let them go" is not explained and thus entirely stupid, etc., etc.

Also....I think most of you will agree...there were way, WAY too many usless book facts/long drawn out names... You simply can't build the entire Trilogy history and feel within the structure of film (and frankly, JRR Tolkien did a half-assed, slap together job in the book anyway).

This is one of the few times I'd actually say this, but this movie should have been seriously 'dumbed down'.</span></div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Oh, and I saw that they are making a prequel to one of the best movies ever..."Dumb and Dumberer". Awesome ; )</div>

<div style='font: 14pt "Sans Serif"; text-align: justify; padding: 0% 15% 0% 15%; '>YES! That movie is pure genius (and another example of Ebert missing the point in his review, btw). And please tell me that Carey and Daniels are back on board....</div>

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>I saw it last night. :P</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Well I heard their voices in the preview.......</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Holy crap are you picky, The movie fucking captured the essence of the book PERFECTLY. No movie, no matter how brilliant can beat a fantastic book. That said, Jackson came damn close.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt "Cooper Black"; text-align: left; '>Seriously though, how can you compare your computer to a movie theatre? The price is worth the experience thats for damn sure.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt "Cooper Black"; text-align: left; '>I coxed (sp i know) a guy who had never read the books to come see the first one with the group i was going with telling him it will be awesome and he'll love it etc. Then when the Galadriel scene came on, i almost felt stupid because i knew there was no way for him to understand it. Afterwards the only thing i could say was, well i guess its a better movie when you know the book front and back, sorry. He liked it anyways, but still.


I have not seen the second one yet, i will on saturday.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Excellent, as expected. So, if any of you here liked it, just hang yourselves now :-)</div>

<div style='font: bold 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Nope. Harry is being played by Eric Christian Olsen(Not Another Teen Movie, Pearl Harbor) and Lloyd is Derek Richardson(his first movie). Please, don't let this suck.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt arial; text-align: left; '>Naw, I don't watch anything on my comp. Friday's just when i can get into the theatre for free</div>

<div style='font: 11pt arial; text-align: left; '>I just make sure to mention it every once in a while so I can lord it over your people : )</div>
