How do you improve the best fantasy/adventure movie of all time? Easy--you make it longer. I'm referring, of course, to The Fellowship of the Ring: Special Edition. After months of anticipation, I purchased the 4-DVD set on Friday and watched it with an apartment full of friends later that night.
Nick: Yes, I think so.
Tristan: Then why is he leaving on that quest?
Nick: What?
Tristan: He should have to stay with her.
Nick: Tristan, it's the fate of the world at stake. I think she'll understand.
Tristan: Maybe.
During the movie, I had a funny conversation with my friend Tristan about one part that bothered her...
Tristan: Did Arwen just give up her immortality to be with Aragorn?Nick: Yes, I think so.
Tristan: Then why is he leaving on that quest?
Nick: What?
Tristan: He should have to stay with her.
Nick: Tristan, it's the fate of the world at stake. I think she'll understand.
Tristan: Maybe.
Oh, and here's my review: Absolutely incredible.
i share the same review. christmas is on december 18th
"My dear Frodo, Hobbits really are amazing creatures. You can learn all that there is to know about their ways in a month, and yet, after a hundred years, they can still surprise you...." Kinda like a lot of people huh? Always full of surprises!
A.A., I am very impressed with your knowledge of Tolkien! If you haven't seen the extended version of FotR yet, you need to--you'd love the additions.
If you happen to be in the Waco area sometime, let me know and you can come over to watch it. Just a thought...
Hey now, don't imply that girls don't like Tolkien too! And what makes you think I'm not ALREADY in Waco????????? Ah, the tangled webs..........
Whoa, there! I didn't say I was surprised you knew this--just that I was impressed. No derogatory implications, I assure you.
Tangled webs indeed!
Did you know that a hobbit and a mouse are strikingly similar in size????
Hello, my mouse friend! Is this another clue to your identity? Are you saying you are hobbit-sized? ::Gasp:: This doesn't mean you have hairy feet, does it??
I just realized you're getting in very late on the 18th. I guess that means we'll have to see The Two Towers on the 19th, eh? Charlie plans to see it twice on the 18th. (He's skipping school.)
well... He SHOULD have to stay with her! ;) see you in A-town Nicholas!
I do see where you're coming from on this one, Tristan. But I don't know if the Lord of the Rings books would have been as popular if the king decided to forego his title and settle down with the pretty elf. I just don't know. (if I could make one of those monkey smily faces, I would insert one here)
P.S. I saw some girl bowl like a cat...real strange
