Just went to see Fellowship for the fourth time. Following a tip from Meghan about the Two Towers trailer being appended now, I dragged my mother to see it for the first time. As predicted, she loved it. Lots of fun.
Maybe it's just because I've read the books since last I saw, and can now appreciate more detail and stuff, but I really picked up more, especially about Aragorn, this time through. Lots of complexity, and depth, and ye gods and little fishes, what a stunningly gorgeous character. Yes, I am changing my allegiance. This little elf-swooning girl has recalled her roots, and that she likes the guys with a bit of rough (ruff, ruff), and has become a Strider gal.
And oh my DOUG, but doesn't Two Towers look good. Oh, oh, oh. Lots of fun, lots of Aragorn, lots of development that never happened in the sodding, blind, boring, bloody books and isn't that just grand? I can hardly wait until Christmas. I wants, precious.
In the meantime, I'll just have to make do with Episode 2. There was a trailer for that too. And I'd already seen the Swoon Trailer (the one that's all Anakin and Amidala and "Oh, we mustn't!" and stuff), but this one was the Kick-Ass Trailer. Shit going down all over the place and damn! it looks good. Oh yeah. Midnight preview of that, I think.

In the LiveJournal community, there is more interest in lesbians than there is in the band Stabbing Westward.
Can't argue with that myself. Their last album really bit the big one. I'm actually surprised the difference isn't bigger.

Went to see a footy match. The Male insists that it must be termed at least 'footy', but preferably 'fuddy'. We wanted to see Essendon and Geelong, but that was a night game, so we trekked over to Docklands just in time for the kick-off of Carlton and St Kilda (I want to be a St Kilda supporter just so I can have a hat with St. K. F. C written on it). It was hilarious. Simply hilarious. Lots of random violence - yay - and people screaming abuse at anything that moved. I laughed for the entire game. Especially when the Male gave me binoculars so I could gawp at the players butts if I felt like it.
Saw movies. Gosford Park is a wonderful couple of hours of delightful British fluff. So pointless, so silly, so lovely. And Clive Owen can lounge on my bed any day. Also saw something strange and French. Ah, here we go. DOUG bless IMDB. Les Enfants du paradis. The French Gone With The Wind - long, with strange yet compelling characters and a tragic and unsatisfying ending. Good fun, if just for how commpletely batty all the characters were. But watch it, and gain some sort of new respect for mime. No, really.
Meanwhile, am back. Yess, precious. And I wants to see the Two Towers preview, I does, yesss. Just finished reading the book and am now more sure than ever that David Wenham is going to disappoint me as Faramir. He's sodding blond, for starters! But it's going to be so damn good. *bounce bounce*
