vivienSo I had a loverly time last night at ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
debellatrix's home watching The Two Towers extended edition. Well most of it anyway - it got late and it was a school night. I have to say that I (shock, gasp) enjoyed it (mostly) for the first time. Seeing the extra footage made it so very much better. Especially with Faramir (although it was still wrong wrong wrong) - the flashback broke my heart and made the AUness of the whole thing so much more palatable. So I'm going to watch selected scenes from Fellowship tonight, read favorite sections of the book, and get ready for Thursday night. Cos damn Peter Jackson's black heart, I am excited yet again for the next part of the Trilogy. He better not piss me off or I might lose it.
I have decided to try to relax on most plot issues, cos, dude, it's not going to be my book version anyway. But I have two things that will piss me the fuck off: Eowyn better be heroic and Merry better be right there with her. That is my very favorite part of the entire freaking series, and if P.J. can just please god please get that part right, I will not wish for his slow painful death.
I have a feeling the other part I most want (Sam's heroism) will not be skewed, since that's the WHOLE POINT. And really, it is.
So I must ask you Friends who are going to see the movie before Thursday for detailed spoilers. Cut tag it in your LJ and lay it all out. Tell me everything about everything so I don't get slapped upside the head with disappointment at the theater.
Oh well, if nothing else it will be pretty to watch.
