<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Its strange, I really want to see the movie and yet I'm dreading it because after that it will all be over. Do you get what I mean? Or am I just seriously over-reacting? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> I'm the same.... You know, I think I should see RotK alone, even though I know I won't. Because I think I'm gonna cry a lot, and I'm certainly not known as a person who would do that at the movies, so if I go with my parents or just friends I'll have to keep distracting myself from the movie so as not to cry. I'll have to find someone who doesn't know me too well, so they won't notice as much . I hope that PJ makes us want to cry, but not make it so sentimental that we don't dry our faces during the whole film. I think that I will cry at the <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> I sent my son forth, unthanked, unblessed, out into needless peril; and here he lies with poison in his veins <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> because I still cry at that part almost every time I read the book, and for most of the others I mentioned, I only cried the first time. Or two. Or three. No really, it is the type of scene that I extremely want to be there, and if PJ changes one word of that line, I will be out for murder. Denethor's facial expression at that part ought to make a stone cry. I need to see some films with John Noble in them, to form an opinion on whether he'd be a good Denethor or not. I would trust David Wenham to the ends of the world to play Faramir well, but Denethor...I wonder about Noble. And he had better be good, because otherwise certain BDers *glances at Meela, grins evilly* will be devastated. The only piece that I actually heard PJ say was gonna be a crying scene was the Grey Havens, in some interview. I feel like I'm gonna start crying now, but that is only natural, because I am doing homework as I am typing this, and I just poked myself in the eye with a pen.... The one last thing I want to say is, with all of the ideas of places we might cry is making it seem like this movie won't be a battle film, but some sort of sappy sentimental movie. It should not be! I want to cry more after I see it than during, but quite a few times then as well... MUST....HAVE....ROTK....NOW!!!
