I not long ago finally sat down at my mum's house and watched all three of the movies... in order. My mother got them but, she waited until i came over. she said i was going to be her "guide"... I never knew that this was going to take two more days than expected

... Especially during the first and third movies i had to explain major parts of the movies and what actually happened in the book. After the second day i gave up and just let her watch the movies and then later talk to me... What a trial that was! Some of the questions she asked me were quiet strange from my father's. Actuallly, my father just sat there. And QUIETLY watched the movie. Here's some of what she asked, or asumed.

" Okay, frodo has the ring but, where did he get it from?"

" Why is elrond having a fit with Arwen? Are they related?"

" Why is it called the Two towers? Did the director try to make it in reference to the Twin towers? If he did then he would have to have Both towers fall down..."

" No, no Shawn (shawn's the ka's father) , Aragorn is supposed to be the king but, boromir is the "false king" so that's why they don't like each other..."

" Why doesn't Sam just kill gollum? He isn't very helpful."

Yeah. I know. I'm going to try to get my mother to read the books. VERY, VERY SOON. Besides this, my father understood the whole story quiet wonderfully without saying anything, except a few mirthful comments, like these:

When frodo was standing in Mt.Doom with gollum sneaking up on him. The frodo fighting with him.

" Don't stand there just push him in!"

" Heh. Wrestling in slow motion..."

Okay. That 's all i have to say for now.

Blessed Be, THE Ka
