Aragorn's TT fall..

[Pookabunny]

Once again, I am so happy to be part of the Barrow Downs because this place is full of people with intelligent thoughts. Not to mention people who disagree, yet respect each other's views. I LOVE THAT. So now that I'm done thanking you all for being understanding, rational Tolkien fans, here's my schpiel. By the way, this is one of the best discussions I've seen in a while.<P>ok, here's one I ADORE, brought to us by Wewantsit:<BR> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>I've now seen The Two Towers nine times. The first time I saw it I was utterly let down. This book was my favorite and will always have a special place in my heart. Upon several viewings of it, I've come to love it as a film, but not an accurate representation of the book. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Dude, that's awesome. I've only seen it 3 times and I enjoy it more and more each time I've seen it. There is some stuff I don't like, and I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one (when it comes to things like Faramir, Haldir, etc - those are some popular ones). And thank you Wewantsit for being appreciative of the film as another representation of a story. Thank you!<P>Ok, next on brought to us by Tigerlilly:<BR> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>I kind of enjoy it when people who haven't read the books gasp and say, "he can't die... he's not dead!" You know then that the audience does care for these characters and that they have been taken in by the film when that happens.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>I admit, I was one person who was kinda confused with Aragorn's falling off the cliff. my very thoughts were "ok, so there is going to be a Return of the King", but how in all things sacred can there be a Return of the King without the KING?!?!?!? I've read and re-read the books, and I don't remember Aragorn reviving like some fallen ice-skater.<P>Next, from Susan Delgado:<BR> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Gandalf: "By foul craft Saruman has crossed Wargs with Lemmings. He is breeding a suicidal army in the caverns of Isengard."-----<BR>[QUOTE]Wargs? No, those weren't Wargs. I think it's Hyenas he's been crossing with Lemmings<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> <P>BWUUAAAHAHAAHH!!! I guess those Hyhenas just add to Gimli's humor. I bet they were laughing, too . Hell, 2 decided to get up on a Gimli todempole! <P>Great thread everyone!
