My instant reaction is on my blog as well. I'm glad you liked it too!!!!!! I did adore Kili. I wish we could have gotten to know all of the dwarves better... but there are more movies. Yay! And, hey, did you see the dwarf women? Brief but there in the destruction scene. heehee
I cried at Rivendell as well. I teared up at the mountain pass--so gorgeous. And actually, in non-3-D it was kind of blurry with the camera pans as well. I remember thinking that a few times. I guess I'll compare after seeing it later today.
I went to the bathroom RIGHT BEFORE the trailers started, but I only sipped my friggin $5.25 water and was SO dehydrated at the end I could barely talk, my throat closing up (shouldn't have done that hours after getting allergy shots LOL). Not a great solution, but I didn't have to go. Not a recommended trade-off, though.
It really was so beautiful and wonderful to see more--like PJ's just opening up a door to the world and letting us see more of it. I'm so glad it turned out this way and I can't wait for the next two movies now!
LOL, yeah, I didn't get up and go. I would have had to be truly desperate to do that on opening night. But I didn't appreciate that last warg battle, LOL.
During all my LOTR viewings, I got really good and figuring out what spot I wanted to use the restroom during (often an Arwen or Treebeard sequence, sorry guys!). TMI, I know.
Next time, Mirkwood, Mirkwood. I am so beyond desperate to see the palace Legolas grew up in. And maybe him acting as prince, or out on patrol, or any of the other things I've read fanfic about. :)
Also, I'm both anxious and hesitant to see Mirkwood. I desperately want to see it... but I have such a strong picture of it in my head from my own fanfics and it's going to be different, I'm sure.
OMG Erebor! Absolutely! The mines were all beautiful and humming along--so much more elaborate than I'd imagined in my fics. I loved how many layers there were to the processes and all the moving parts and glowy rocks.
