LOTR (extended)

Ok, i know i've said it ALOT.
but JRR Tolkien is a genius. ( a story-telling genius at least)

Amazing and compelling.
The books are great, but i think Peter Jackson did an admirable job at creating Tolkien's world on film. Anyway, the extended version gives you heaps of scenes which you don't get in the cinemas.
So catch it after the exams... and spend 12 hours munching on popcorn crying with Frodo, drooling over Aragon, wondering why Legolas looks so pretty even in battle, laughing at Gimli, wishing that Gandalf was your grandfather, pitying and cursing Gollum/Smeagol at the same time, pondering on how to speak elvish and where you can go learn it.... etc. i could go on... trust me.

A story of courage, love and hope.

ok back to Gilmore girls now.
