The most ..... UPDATED...

highschool by highschool · Dec 17, 2002 · 304 views · Journal

Sliced bread? I duno. I'm just so super excited. My fiance has just um... stooped down to my geekdom and reserved Lord of the Rings tickets for us for tomorrow night!!!




This officially makes him the best man in the universe... and makes me the hugest nerd ever.




I have never been this excited about a movie coming out!!! I think I'm actually more excited than I was on the night we got engaged. HAHAHA. no.. not really.. but ... maybe...




UPDATE:


I wanted to see the 12:01 show SOOOOO bad but the thought of getting up for work the next morning wasn't a good one..... but! my fiance sends me a text message this morning. The "from" field said "Sauron" hehe... and the text of the message said that a coworker saw the movie and that it is "I N S A N E" and better than the first, which I believe wholeheartedly because I LOVED the Two Towers book, I thought it was better than the first. The characters were developed so excellently.




I love Aragorn and Arwen. At first I thought it was stupid that she would be in the movie, and now that I read deanh77
s spoiler.... it's a DREAM SEQUENCE??? that makes sense, but it's sad anyways, I duno, I want them to be together already.... haha.. even tho.... we all know what happens in the third book... it's all good. Anyways, maybe I just love Aragorn. I duno. Arwen is cool, but I kinda like Galadriel I think a little more because she just seems more powerful, and, after all, she DOES have one of the three rings.... weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ....




I heard the final scene of the book, that huge spider - I forgot the darn name - is cut, and will be included in the third movie. Pete cut that scene to include more Uruk-Hai slaughter at Helms Deep. YAY. haha...... OH MAN SEVEN MORE HOURS AND I WILL BE THERE!!!!!!




BY THE WAY!! The Two Towers video game is amazing, it was a
perfect pump-up this past week. My fiance didn't even want to see this movie on opening night, or even the first weeknd, because of the crowds, but after playing the video game, he reserved our tickets.




I can't wait to see Treebird!!!!!!




And do they include that part where Gandalf tells Saruman that he's finished and Saruman runs away like a puppy with his tail between his legs!!!!?!?!?!? AHHHHHHH I CANNNOT WAIT!!!


OK, geek ranting done...

i'm not that excited about the movie. but i do want to see it. i can't wait. first one was good. second looks better. i can't wait to dress up as the dark lord suaron and start killing people.

reaf #1.1 reafOG 2002

ilikebirds #1.1.1 ilikebirdsOG 2002

ilikebirds ilikebirdsOG 2002

ilikebirds ilikebirdsOG 2002

reaf reafOG 2002

5 bucks is good

thatdarngirl #2 thatdarngirlOG 2002

I got my tickets last week for tomorrow. Actually, was supposed to go tonight but I have to go to school tomorrow so that wasn't gonna work. I'm so excited, but I'm trying not to be too much so because I know I will be disapointed by a few things (ex: the way the Ents look isn't exactly..well..maybe my imagination is just too good)

iwz #2.1 iwz

yeah.. it's gotta be hard to do the ents. i haven't really seen what they look like in the film yet, but i guess it's like every other character in the books... maybe the ents are actually the hardest creatures to do, hum hoom hroooom

ilikebirds #2.1.1 ilikebirdsOG 2002

ENTS? or ANtS?

thatdarngirl #2.1.1.1 thatdarngirlOG 2002

Ents! I've seen them and they made them very skinny and vine-like. And what's with Arwen popping up all over the movie? I understand that they wanted to mix the Apendix of Arwen and Aragorn's story and all..but I think they may have taken it too far. How is Aragorn supposed to be in Rivendell when he is clearly in Rohan for almost the whole book?

deanh77 deanh77Founder

Little Spoiler: Its a dream sequence dude.

ok4now #2.1.2 ok4nowOG 2002

they were the coolest! i love what they did with the water scene

ilikebirds #3 ilikebirdsOG 2002

and where have you been. you are clearly the funniest and most trouble making person on this site. and i always liked to sit back and watch the chaos you caused because of peoples over reactions and sensitivity. you always knew how to hit the mark. thats a talent.

deanh77 #4 deanh77Founder

Just got back from the movie, saw the 12:01 showing and it was great. My idea of the Ents was a little different then the movie, but still awesome and pretty right on.

thatdarngirl #4.1 thatdarngirlOG 2002

I'm going to see it in three hours and I'm pretty much ready to pee in my pants. (reply to your previous comment) I heard in school today that it was a dream sequence which gave me great relief! Also, I've seent he way Ents look and I'm not all to keen on it but it's lord of the rings!!

thatdarngirl #5 thatdarngirlOG 2002

My little sister is partial to the Two Towers (book) more then the others. I really can never decide which I like the best, they're all so well written. I like fellowship because they go so many places. Two Towers you get to know everyone better and the plot thickens! And of course Return of the King just rocks cause everyone kicks some butt. Can't believe they're not adding Shelob into this movie! That's such an important part! But I guess the suspense would have been too much anyways. And the Arwen thing..I'm not the biggest Arwen fan. I want Aragorn for myself (then I must remind myself that the guy who plays him in the movie could be my father). Galdriel is cool cause she's Galadriel and all..and Eowyn just rocks the third book like no one else

highschool #6 highschoolOG 2002

ABOUT 3 MORE HOURS!!! I can't take it. Shelob, that's the name. They'll include it in the third movie, I hear.




It's been a few weeks or so since I read the books.. I had borrowed them from my cousin. And then I ecstatically picked up a copy of Two Towers on my lunchbreak today - it was on sale for six bucks, how could i pass it up?!?!?!?!?!






O my...... OHHHHHH MY GOODNESS I'M GOING TO IMPLODE , and then EXPLODE, and then, gather myself up and go to the movies.

ilikebirds #6.1 ilikebirdsOG 2002

relax champ. 3 2 1 . 1 2 3 . what the heck is bothering me.

deanh77 #6.2 deanh77Founder

yeah, if I wasn't going snowboarding tonight (possibly) then I'd probably go see it again. Spoiler:Shelob the spider: not in the movie, but one of the eeries/scariest lines is when Gollum says, "We'll gets HER to deal with them hobbits, yessss... SHE'll get them.. nasssty hobbittsss.."
I went with my friend who didn't read the book, and he asked me who "SHE" was, I was smiling when he Gollum said that, and I told him he had to read the book, I wasn't telling.

reaf #6.2.1 reafOG 2002

where are you going boarding that has good conditions?

deanh77 #6.2.1.1 deanh77Founder

nowhere. I'm going somewhere with crappy conditions just to get it out of my system.

rocksupastar rocksupastarFounder

Im going to VT in a few days!! WOOHOOOO soo awesome!

deanh77 deanh77Founder

pssh I'm going to British Columbia in 3 weeks. and they just got 4 feet of snow.

rocksupastar rocksupastarFounder

shutup dean, im just happy to get on my board....

deanh77 #7 deanh77Founder

kinda spoiler: I knew it! I just read a review which confirmed my suspicion that John Rhys-Davies (Gimli the dwarf) voiced Treebeard. It was a little distracting though. Good as it was, I was thinking "why does this talking tree sound like that Dwarf?" They should have got someone else.

skaorsk8 #7.1 skaorsk8OG 2002

hmm...wasn't he the guy in Indiana Jones? And the professor in Sliders?? What a cool idea for a show...too bad they killed it pretty quick.

forrestina #7.1.1 forrestinaOG 2002

indiana jones-awesome movies dude! i think those were the first VHS movies we bought for our then new VCR. i liked sliders, too. good stuff.

ilikebirds #7.1.2 ilikebirdsOG 2002

yea sliders was good stuff.
but i hated the episode where they really were home..but jumped anyway not knowing. so frustrating !!

forrestina #7.1.2.1 forrestinaOG 2002

how bout the young indiana jones? my dad used to set the vcr on sundays to tape it while we were at the meeting.

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002

your dad watches a little too much TV, in my opinion. it rots your brain and makes you stupid.

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002

lol you wanna say that to him?? did you see the size of his pythons?

rocksupastar rocksupastarFounder

LOL pythons!! hahaah, i havent heard that in a LONG time!

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002

glad to amuse you hon...i've been reminiscing a lot this week what with vh1 and the 80s specials.

rocksupastar rocksupastarFounder

hahaha, i remember one of my friends didnt know that it was guns... and she called em bombs.. HAHAH.. soo funny i still laugh about that till this day.. she tried to play it off like she meant it.. but hahah, she didnt. 80's were the BEST!

ok4now #7.2 ok4nowOG 2002

just read the credits...

thatdarngirl #8 thatdarngirlOG 2002

Spoiler maybe?: Yeah so I just saw the movie. I must say I was slightly disapointed. I try to keep in mind what I heard on TV that while they changed things they left more things alone. True..but it still doesn't change the fact that Peter Jackson isn't my favorite person at the moment. Sure, Gollum's talks with himself couldn't have been better (though these dumb girls kept laughing..it's not supposed to be funny!). However, what was up with Faramir? Darling Faramir who is one of the best characters in any of the novels was reduced to the position of a Boramir copy! Osgiliath was awe-some looking. Ents weren't as hoo hoom as they are supposed to be. Helms deep was cool, what's up with Theoden being all whiney? What's up with me being whiney right now? The movie was a good fantasy movie and all I think I just need to see it again before I truly decide if it meets Tolkien standards

ok4now #8.1 ok4nowOG 2002

be sure to let us know when 'u decide'.

thatdarngirl #8.1.1 thatdarngirlOG 2002

Are you making fun of me?

ok4now #8.1.1.1 ok4nowOG 2002

absolutely not...and when i say 'absolutely not' i mean 'yes'

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002

I don't think he's being very nice precious. We should let HER take care of him too.

magnum magnumOG 2001

hi you got issues, no more books for u freak child!

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002

I see how it is. You're trying to stunt the growth of my brain!

magnum magnumOG 2001

basically, i want everyone not to read and be dumb so i can RULE THE WORLD MAUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002

that is...the best idea ever!!! it could totally work! sure you'd have some underground factions that would secretly make books and be intelligent but they wouldn't be too much of a problem!
