View From the Cinema Seats

Just saw the full ROTK trailer. It’s like, so late where I am that I can barely hold up my head, let alone type and think at the same time, so forgive the typos.

Gosh, that was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had expected…I dunno, something not quite so…gosh-a-loo, MASSIVE!!! Such expances!!! Such hights, depths, emotions, monsters…..!!!!

!!!!

That very last scene...Sam, yelling “NO!”, or “FRODO!”, or “NO, FRODO!”...can’t remember. Can’t...think...must...get to....bed....

...must...stop...talking like...television...idiot....

Such fantastic views of buildings, that beautiful glimpse of Cirith Ungol...the high climbs, the expansive...expanses! And the characters! Aragorn and crew, Frodo and Sam, gosh isn’t Gollum just getting eviler and eviler?? (by the way, ‘eviler’ is apparently a word: my spellchecker has, amazingly, no problem with it. Yet it’s shouting at me about ‘frodo’ and ‘gollum’ and ‘cirith’....) Eomer holding Eowyn! Merry with Eowyn!!!

Ah, SAM!!! I BELIEVE YOU, SAM!!! LISTEN TO HIM, FRODO!!!

I don’t care what anyone says, Shelob looks fantastic!!! Three legs and a fang and it’s over, but she looks...swell. I only just saw it in theatres, so I haven’t got the luxury of pausing and rewinding and studying and mooning…my computer is crap, and barely lets me do this, even, let alone download a tiny clip even, of the trailer.

Can’t keep eyes open...can’t get over wonderfulness of trailer (another unlikely word: wonderfulness).

Goosebumps. Phew. Can’t wait till December.

And hey, what’s up with the whole release date thing? Last year the regular DVD for the FOTR was released Aug. 6, this year it was the 26th. Last year the FOTR EE DVD came out like, the 12th of Nov., but this year it’s somewhere around the 20th.

Can’t wait till Nov.

Okay, all, I’ve REALLY got to go to bed now. Groove on.

Tired-but-thrilled-ly yours.
