catscradle Jan. 12th, 2003 11:19 am)Finally saw The Two Towers last night. Loved it. Though I have to admit, this movie felt like three hours, where as I didn't feel that way with FotR. It was also exhausting. I felt hit by a Mac truck when it was over, as did my friends. Though I suppose it being the beginning of the final battle between good and evil, one might tend to get a little tired.
Slashables: Frodo and Sam are the runaway prize. I know it's canon, but it doesn't hit home till you see the look on Elijah Woods' face at the end of the movie. Damn. Legolas and Arogorn are second place, but Orlando Bloom just doesn't put enough feeling into it. Still don't buy Gimli and Legolas as anything more that antagonistic friends engaging in anything more than good natured ribbing. Maybe a dwarf tossing contest between Arogorn and Legolas in the future?
Eowyn - wasn't her role bigger in the book? I remember some big heroic act from her - but it's been about 17 years since I read the books.
I remember thinking TTT was the most depressing of the books. Though it's certainly in the movie, Frodo's depression, weariness and plain need to give up hit me far stronger in the book.
So I can cross TTT off the to-do list for the weekend. That's about the only thing so far. I"m looking intently at laundry and I'll stop off at the grocery store - so that's two more things. Hopefully I'll get to some of the rest. . .

Lots of cool stuff.
As for slashables, I think Merry and Pippin were giving Sam and Frodo a run for their money. And Aragorn? Who wasn't in love with him in this movie? :0) Even "that Gay Elf" (tm my Mom) Haldir seemed to be having moments with him. Hee!
