xansYesterday I did something that I don't think I'll ever do again, or at least not any time soon. Iain and I went to a DVD theatre where one of his coworkers had arranged to play all three LotR movies. All three extended editions of the LoTR movies. After that, I have this to say...
I am in love.
With the Mouth of Sauron.
He is so awesome. The attitude, the fact you can't see his eyes for the weird helm he's got, the huge grin of pointy teeth... He is just so cool. I was absolutely psyched when I saw him coming out of the gates.
And sure, Aragorn cuts his head off. And sure, his body and horse do the disappearing act like they were never there. Just like all the other horses do right before they go running into battle. Well, no movie's perfect.
But he's still the coolest villain to show up in the movie. I just sat there with this grin plastered to my face and barely blinked while he was there. [/raving]
I don't know why, but I find I'm satisfied with either version of FoTR. I don't HAVE to own/see/watch the EE, but I do like to. However, for me, the extended version is the only version worth watching of TTT. All the little missing bits were all the little pieces that made it flow. And I have the say the extended version of RoTK is just... better.
But I don't think I'll ever watch all three one after the other like that again. It's not as if my attention didn't waver at points.
Fin.
