[xfer]

Nay on the TT, but I was trying to cajole Aysha into the Body Snatchers thing all last night. She didn't seem hugely into it, so we'll have to see. I'll call your cell.

Chava! I've found him! Will you be a lucky bride!
He's handsome. He's tall! That is, from side to side.
But he's a nice man, a good catch, Right? Right!
You've heard he has a temper. He'll beat you every night.
But only when he's sober- so you're all right!

 

[Baliset]

and he is also into crazy occult religious stuff, but aside from that he is a swell person

 

[VangelicSurgeon]

hehehehe...

ok alex here's my reasoning - it's unforgivable what they did with Faramir and the Ents. End of story, for me. I don't care how awesome the rest of the movie was. Also, why the hell did they waste all that time with the elf bullshit? way to weaken aragorn's character.

Reason #234897 why I should move to Boston.

The Ent issue wasn't so bad...it was another of Peter Jackson's patented "changes which I hate in my gut because I'm a LOTR fan but in my head I realize were the right choice", which I far prefer to the 99% of other directors who make wrong, stupid choices.

The Faramir thing...jeez, that pissed me off, too. But I don't think I can say it was definitely the wrong choice until I see how it plays out in ROTK. I just finished re-reading ROTK over the holidays and I see how it could possibly be made to work.

Faramir maybe had to bring the hobbits to Osgiliath for a couple of reasons: firstly, Jackson needed to show how the Dark Lord's forces were advancing and ruining the cities of Men without resorting to even more "cut to an entirely different story" stuff. Great job--the Osgiliath sequences are awesome. Also, since Denethor totally bitches Faramir out for letting the hobbits go, maybe he felt the need to emphasize that Faramir could have brought them to the Steward and seriously almost did, but changed his mind. I just was unconvinced about the mind-changing, but like I said, ROTK or the cut scenes from TT might fix that somewhat.

 

[VangelicSurgeon]

you make good points. I'll have to give it some thought.

is it bad that he also has sworn off women?

 

[FuSoYa]

He hasn't sworn off women! He just says this to get everyone to believe that his lack of female company is INTENTIONAL.

a clever rues.

I to declare myself a born again virgin...but I never state that it's completely unintentional.
