Default So I saw Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers

actually i saw it twice today... cause i work at the theater..

anyhoo... i thought it was amazing... of course there were some little things they added in and alot of stuff they couldnt fit in that were in the book... but it was done great.. i suppose it starts to let you get bored a few times during the movie... but within like 5 minutes something really cool happens and it just grabs you right back into the movie...

let me just say... helms deep was WICKED... and the way that battle ends almost made me cry with happiness.. hehe.. it was wicked... but u know.. it seems like the movie just starts to REALLY get good when it ends... and i guess thats peter jacksons cruel way of making us go insane for another year until The Return of the King....

all i gotta say is that better live up to the expectations... cause this one just leaves you wanting to see more..

So I saw ghettodude recently...

It's been a long, long while.

Anyway, with any luck, I'll be seeing that movie today.

if theres one thing about the movie i didnt like.. it was that sense of incompleteness... like after the most amazing things you see in the movie... you still feel like u wanted more... its like satisfying and unsatisfying at the same time....

Sounds good. I'm probably going on my birthday, if we can break away from the game convention.

I got tickets for this last week. Its going to break all single weekend ticket sales I think. Last week 77% of all ticket sales on Fandango.com were for The Two Towers, and thats a record for the site.

Speaking of The Two Towers, is anyone already itching to see the extended DVD???? I loved the Fellowship extended version as they added more to Hobbiton, Lothlorien and just about every fight scene in the movie (Legolas and Gimli kick A$$ in the extended version). From what I understand they have a lot planned for the extended version of The Two Towers. I can't wait!!

I saw it today too, and it was quite good! I've heard people say it's better than the first, but I dunno about that... but who the hell cares, it's still a great mov-way (^_^

Then when the movie got out a ton of teenagers and stuff were lined up outside and I was like "HAHAHA I GOT TO SEE IT WHILE YOU WERE IN SCHOOL AND ALL I DID WAS WALTZ IN AND YOU HAVE TO STAND THERE LOOKING LIKE MORONS MUWAHAHAHA"...

Ok I didn't really say that but still...

I don't feel like saying anything else... Just listen to ghettodude...

Yeah, I might have to see that some time. If it's anything like the last one, I'll be bored as hell in the theatre. I'd say that Peter Jackson could've cut a few hours out of Fellowship. What a stinker
