I slept on it, and I came out feeling better. But I thought of a slightly sarcastic way to sum up yesterday's feelings:<P>Theoden channelled Saruman. Frodo channelled Sauron*. Why couldn't PJ have channelled Tolkien a little bit more?<P>Faramir still irks me, but I realized that overall, I liked it. There were moments when I was just swept up like I was in Fellowship. I'll definitely go see it again, this time knowing what's in store and trying to look past the discrepancies. (I'm trying to learn how to see the movie as "Peter Jackon's Big, Expensive Lord of the Rings Fanfic." It's a hard road.) Somebody said something about the Fell Beasts; I agree, they were incredible. All of the CG was good. And I'm holding out much hope for the Return of the King. (But I'm afraid it'll take about fifteen hours to tell the whole story, including the two hundred pages they skipped from TT. LoL!)<P>~*~Orual~*~<P>*Or something. What the heck WAS that "They are here" deal about, anyway?
