Tolkienish stuff
Sep. 4th, 2003 01:11 pmI had such a great time last night--first time ever to watch LotR with people who are as fanatic as I am. Four of them, to be exact. It makes me regret even more that I don't know any people such as that where I live. Why do I have to travel hundreds of miles to have a good Tolkien type of time?
Ah well. It was a good Tolkien type of time. We watched The Two Towers and...wow. I liked some things better and some things less but in general I was just amazed at the sheer epicness of it all. (Also hopelessness. Hopeless Epics are wonderful.)
I also realized that I like Miranda Otto's Eowyn even more then I thought I did, and I thought I liked her almost as much as was possible. Her facial expressions, her voice, the way she moved; they were all perfectly Eowyn-ish. Bravo, Miranda, and it's good you did it right or else many of us sort of fanatic Eowyn fans would have made the rest of your life miserable.
