Lord of the Rings!

[silversolitaire]

Yes, ladies and germs, I too have finally moved my ass off the couch and into the theater, and I must say I am amazed. This movie is truly amazing. I mean, everyone knows that by now, so I won't indulge in endless praise anyway. But there are a few thoughts I want to write down now so I will remember it later.

• It's long, man. Like, really long! I thought I'd die. I mean, I was greatly entertained, but two or three times I was squirming in my seat, wishing for it to end. When it did end I was both pissed off and relieved... hahaha..
• I'm very pleased to say that Legolas has a slashability that goes beyond *twitch* Gimli. I'd be willing to slash him with anyone, Aragon most of all. Boromir, why not. Frodo, fine too. He's hot. Period.
• What's the deal with the elves' hairdo? Is their hair stylist taking a permanent break or what? Why do they all have the same hair style? *blinks*
• Okay, elves are hot. I said that, didn't I? LOL
• Am I the only one who noticed that Legolas didn't sink in when he was walking on the snow whereas everyone else was in to their hips? Why is that, I wonder? Are elves lighter than anybody else? He sure has a better balance and he's very nimble. Hm... Out, vile plot bunnies, go! I don't have the time for you! Shoosh!!!
• Gimli... that dwarf has more ego than what's good for him. Quote my bro, "He's gotta compensate his size with his ego."
• Yeah, never let my bro and me go to a movie together. We LOVE MSTing stuff, even though we adore it... heh...
• When the folks fight over the ring and Gimli later offers his axe. Me: "So, you mean the other axe you brought along after you trashed the first one?" hehehe... Or when Boromir says they won't be able to do it, I complained "Party pooper!" and the people around me laughed! hahaha
• When Bilbo got this really nasty face in the elf village... it freaked me out, man... I mean, like really REALLY freaked me out! I must have screamed the house down. Those are things that freak the hell out of me... *shudders*

Hm... there were tons of other thoughts, but I forgot them all... I'm still on a high, I guess... ^_^

Glad to be of service *g* As for 'putting less weight on your feet', I think it just means that you move faster, so you don't have time to sink down, or something. And though I always thought of elves as being catlike as well, the way Legolas moved in the film reminded me more of mountain deer.... maybe chamois.
