And then Brego comes and finds him.

Yeah, I'm glad they included a scene were those...
That would have bothered me if they didn’t.

Look. I know this is a world of magic and fantasy...
Except the way Legolas jumped on that horse.

Because the last one to put his hand there and offer him advice was Wormtongue and look how that ended up for him…such a wonderful character moment. It’s always been one of my favorite moments from this movie.

Okay, so I nearly started crying when Theodin came...
Rohan makes me feel all of the feelings.

Question:
Was the name “Wormtongue” not a dead giveaway that maybe this isn’t the most trustworthy guy to be advising the King?

It breaks my heart that they had to tear down this...
Stupid national landmarks.

And that (for me) is the most gorgeous shot of the...
Of Eowyn standing outside the castle and the banner ripping away. And The King of the Golden Hall playing.
That’s my favorite score. It’s melancholy and beautiful and it’s Rohan and Rohan gives me all the feelings.

Oh good Lord.
I almost can’t believe they even tried to run in through the gate behind the incoming army. Like. There are guards up there and a whole evil army in front of you. Do you really think nobody was gonna notice? Book!Frodo saw the same thing and was like, “No, fuck that.” *facepalm* How exactly did you mean to survive that?

"A thing is about to happen that has not happened...
That was one of my favorite lines from the book. I’m so glad it’s in the movie. :D

I don’t hate Frodo (and certainly not as much as they do) but I think they’re right.

I like the choice the movie made to really heavily...
The book mentioned them, from time to time, but that wasn’t really what it concentrated on. I like that that’s the choice the movie made.

And then Viggo broke his toe.

I hope the DVD extras about the horses are on this...
I think they’re on Return of the King, but I hope they’re on this one. They’re one of my favorites.

Poor Brad Dourif.
He always seems to play the most repellent creeps.
But he’s so good at it.

And my favorite land of Middle Earth. ♥

Oh, Viggo Mortensen's face. How I have missed you.
I went through quite the obsession with you when I was 14.
I’m 24 now.
Not much has changed.

You know, there's almost no one in this movie who...
I mean CGI Gollum is impressive enough considering how he’s rendered, but the more you learn about how they actually did it (I haven’t re-watched the extras yet, but I have seen them multiple times before) the more you realize that even though Gollum is a CGI creation, the mannerisms, facial expressions, voice, everything that makes him a character is Andy Serkis. I mean, it’s...

Okay, starting the extended edition Two Towers.
I’m settling in because I’m pretty sure this movie is almost four hours long.
Will be liveblogging because, well, why not?
Here we go.

I finished The Two Towers.
Now I can Tumblr.
Still kicking around whether or not to watch the movie too. I probably will.
These are my new years plans.

Okay, I'm done with the fic.
Now I’m going to finish The Two Towers. I promised myself I’d finished it by the end of the month, and with one day and 60 pages to do, I’m going to do it. I may even manage to get the movie in before the end of the year.

Oh my god, you guys, I'm reading the best fic.
It’s long and absorbing and in character and has an incredibly well-crafted OC that I totally love, and it’s just so well written. I haven’t been interested in reading fan fic in a long time, but all of the sudden I got the urge and it’s so good.
