[color=#000000:post_uid0]LOL I've vaguely heard something about this movie, Lord of the Rings: Return of the King. My wonderful husband bought this movie today and I think it might be good. ;)

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Great googly moogly, what a movie. There's a thread about it in Miscellaneous, I think, chronicling a great Meetup of three forumgoers (myself, Nan and Marc) and two Deltachatters (Shorty and BMG), as well as thoughts on the movie itself.

Nan ate all my popcorn, by the way.[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Well, my gut reaction is FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, YES! but there's a catch: if you slept through Fellowship, yawned through Two Towers, or never saw either, then you'll probably watch Return of the King and wonder what the heck the fuss is about. Would you watch The Empire Strikes Back without watching either Star Wars or Return of the Jedi? Well, you could, but it wouldn't make a lot of sense - it's designed to work better as a whole, and LotR is even more so than SW. If you're willing to put the time in to get the whole trilogy from start to finish, it will have been well worth the effort I promise you. :D[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid6]Meh, heavy lifting works up an appettite. You could've fit a [i:post_uid6]cadaver[/i:post_uid6] in that bag of yours. Weighed about right for one, too. :P

Sab, one bit of advice: take aspirin with you and take them around hour two with some water. Otherwise you'll get a Dolby Surround Sound headache.[/color:post_uid6]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]LOL ok well this post was mainly just to get my hit count to 100 since I had planned on watching ROTK and might I say it was fabulous! I didn't get to see it in the Theatre, but wow! We have the DVD player hooked into our mega speakers and WOW I thought the house was shaking at some point and time! it really was a good movie. Best of the three, even. But the final Matrix was the best for me too.

Sa'ar Chasm: Um not to be technical or anything, BUT Nan and Marc are also DCers. Well Marc was here before he was there, but Nan was DEFINITELY a DCer before SHE came here. I know this because we were there BEFORE Five Minute Voyager was born. Of course then she was known as The Ensign. Or Ensign Wing. Heh. Memories. ;)

[color=#000000:post_uid0]I found Revolutions a bit disappointing, myself...but then, I often find that many big budget action flicks of the last few years just fall absolutely flat for me. It seems that there's a certain bracket of about 10 to 30 million $ budget that is growing increasingly rare, but a surprising number of them are among my favourites...For example, Crying Freeman and Equilibrium.

But yeah, the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy had consistently good quality, and Return of the King rocked. Matrix, on the other hand, only seemed to drop off...the first movie was definately the strongest imho.

*[i:post_uid0]Shakes head slowly[/i:post_uid0]*

Anyway, I've yet to see RotK myself, though I've seen FotR (and I think TTT, I can't be sure). I wasn't overly taken with them actually, but I suppose I'm thankful - they could have easily been twenty times worse than they were.[/color:post_uid0]

(kidding - :p )[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]lol that was a friggin typo! Geez you make one little mistake...

;) Sab, who knows Nan is a girl and hopes she doesn't kill her for that frellin' typo![/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]17 [i:post_uid0]and[/i:post_uid0] Nan. My, you do rack 'em up quick, don't you?[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]lol don't forget Zeke. :D Still don't see a dinosaur though...
The funny thing is they are all DCers (or were at one point and time- Marc is the only one that has posted over there this week-ahem.) and for some reason they want to kill me...may have something to do with me outranking them. ;)

erm, maybe not.

By the way, I suddenly remembered the edit function so...heh. The evidence is gone. I will deny all.

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Try watchin all the extended edition ones back to back. You'll be twitching by the time you reach the 18 endings of Return of the King.[/color:post_uid0]

He's also seen me wearing a dress too, IIRC. Shocking, I know.

No I haven't. You declined to wear one for New Years.

So does that make me Lucy or Ethel?[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Who are Lucy and Ethel?[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0][quote:post_uid0="Sa'ar Chasm"]No I haven't. You declined to wear one for New Years.[/quote:post_uid0]

Really? Hmmm.

[quote:post_uid0]So does that make me Lucy or Ethel?[/quote:post_uid0]

Lucy. Just because. :D[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Don't worry, catalina, I'm just as lost as you are...[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0][quote:post_uid0]Who are Lucy and Ethel?[/quote:post_uid0]

Lucy; Lucy MacGillicuddy Ricardo in the classic sit-com "I Love Lucy"
Ethel; Ethel Mertz, Lucy's neighbor, landlady, and best friend.

By the way, ROTK! Can't wait to see it on DVD. :D[/color:post_uid0]
