I love this. I picked it up from crevette who got it from av8trix:



Is that not terribly, wonderfully cool? Look at that sexy elf go, with his flaring coat and flying legs!

Hee. I loved that part. And I loved the scene at Helms Deep where Legolas whips out two swords from his back and does this double-edge-swirly-cut-slice thing.

It was SUCH a kick-ass movie.

I feel the need to point out, though, that Aragorn was THREE times as hot in this movie as the last. Which makes him, you know--pretty damn HOT. I was going through the whole movie unable to decided whihc I liked best-- elf prince or human prince. And Eomer (outcast nephew of King of Rohan), and Faramir--hotties too! :sigh: such pretty, pretty things to look at. Even if they were slightly dirty and sweaty. But sweaty is good. ;)

I also love the charcter of Eowyn, and to that extent I can't wait for the third Film where she actually gets to kick arse! I think the actress in the did a fantastic job, but I didn't really fancy her. Then again she had limited screen time, so perhaps on a second viewing?

I love strong female characters (put it down to being raised by a single mother or early exposure to the avengers), and while you've pointed out that its a bit of a cliche to have a go at Tolkien for the limited role he gives females, its still a valid point. Makes Eowyn stand outeven more!

Always on the look out for new reading material, I will give George R Martin a shot. As far as strong female characters go, I would recommend "Ash A Secret History". No one bar me seems to have read this book, which is unfair because it's excellent.

My friend is also a big Sean Bean fan, she be pleased to hear she wasn't the only one who cried when he got sish kebaded!

I cried for Boromir! Weirdly, only the second time I watched it.

OK, I'm totally the book pimp - especially for the Martin books - but I should warn you that it's an unfinished series. Which may make you completely insane, as it does me ;) However, the first three books are out in PB, and the next one is due out next spring ::crosses fingers::

The first one if A Game of Thrones - and it's amazing.

And it's funny you should mention Ash: A Secret History because I actually ordered that one from England and it's been sitting on my bookshelves for a long time - I'm really looking forward to reading it, as a matter of fact. If you liked that, I think you will probably not be bothered by the brutality of the Martin books ;)

And finally, yes, I can't wait to see Eowyn kick ass - in fact, in general, I can't wait for RotK. There's so much going on there (Denethor is one of the most fascinating and complex characters in Tolkien) and ...aaaah! Anticipation will be the death of me, I know it.
