Saw trailer for Return of the King last night - WOW!
when I was at the all new digitally remastered extended viewing of ALIEN, which was also wow.

Return of the King looks PHENOMENAL!! looks like it will make up quite nicely for Two Towers. Shelob - cool! Armies of tens of thousands - cool!

I can't wait!

1. Great news, Rabrrrrr!
I'm glad to hear it's better than The Two Towers --- that fight scene went on forever. When is the release date?

2. I forget
Two Towers was okay, but jackson really took some idiotic liberties with the story, and I found it disappointing. According to the few minutes one sees in a clip, it appears that Jackson is following the book quite closely for the last one - the wyverns (or whatever theyre called) looked cool, Gondor looked awesome, the battle-field looked awesome, the path of the dead looks awesome, and he did indeed include the bit of merry (or pippin, can't remember) riding into battle on the horse with Eomer. (sorry - been a year since reading the book, so forgetting some names - by Eomer I mean the woman sister of the hero guy with the similar name)

5. I was sitting on the porch
watching the sun set recently with a good friend, talking about the LOTR movies.

He looked at me and said "Well, I'm sure the Return of the King is going to be spectacular. And, really, Jackson's got to get the oscar....Come on....I mean, what do you want?" :)

6. It. Is. The. Bomb.
Seriously. Don't bother with the Oscars this year, just give 'em all to Jackson.

10. I have a feeling Minas Tirith is going to blow people away.
The Battle of the Pelennor fields is going to win some awards. And as for Minas Morgul! Oh man!
