Silmaril

My mom has seen "The Two Towers" movie four times. She, like myself, compares anything and everything to a part of Lord of the Rings. Although she is not as avid about the books, when we walked out of the movie for the fourth time, she asked me, in all honesty, if I would "mind" seeing it again with her at some point. Most of her comments regard Gollum, as she seems to have fallen in love with the character, Smeagol.<P>My mom also actually seemed more disappointed than I was that Lord of the Rings didn't win more Academy Awards (well, I am completely in love with the movie "Chicago", as well, and they won six awards, so I was happy).<P>My dad is kind of neutral on the movies and on the books. He is of the mind that he has "outgrown" them (he still has yet to explain that one to me). While he sees the movie, he only sees it once, and hardly ever talks about it.<P>So, at least I have one obsessed parent...
