aww, thanks for your comment! On good days BD is just a huge misunderstanding for me. On bad days I just detest Stephenie Meyer for the misery she subjected to poor Jacob. I refuse to accept BD as canon :)
I somehow manage to forget that compilation of words on pages exists. xD Lately, when I see an Eclipse trailer I find myself thinking 'hehe the last movie!' and I don't even do it consciously.
For me the story of Jacob and Bella actually ends with Eclipse, too. I hope at the end of Eclipse (the movie) they get a decent closure by which I mean I want to bawl my eyes out because Bella finally rejects Jacob. :/
yeah! if the movie and the acting is good in that final scene, I don't know if I¡ll be able to hold back my tears! I've never cried in the cinema, even though I had a hard time watching the pursuit of happyness..!
I cry a lot in theaters, I don't hold back LOL. So if there are no tears when watching Eclipse I know something went seriously wrong. Though I can't watch The Return of the King or Brokeback Mountain in public anymore - I cry too much even for my liking xD
The Return of the King? There you surprised me! Is it because it is epic? Anyway, I am not one to talk xD I cry with everything hahaha There's a movie here in my country (Spain) which is about an illiterate maid that has a horrible horrible life and it's supposed to be funny, and my family and the whole country watched it and were like 'it's so funny', whereas I saw it and I've never cried so much in my entire life! It was such a depressing film! and the fact that people laughed AT her just aggravated the teary situation.
For me the story of The Lord of the Rings is less about the epicness but much more about the personal journeys of each of the characters, especially that of Frodo. I mean, he is the one who takes all the burden to save the ones he loves and in the end the ring destroys him, not physically but mentally and he is never really able to settle down in the Shire again. It just makes me so incredibly sad that he actually returned from this devastating war and all of his friends survived and are able to move on with their lives but he just can't, the memories of what happened haunt him and he has become alienated from the place that once was his home. And a lot of other brave people die as well... And don't get me started on the subject of Arwen's fate. Oh yes, for me there are lots of opportunities to cry in this movie ;) Well, The Lord of the Rings was my first fandom experience and I was really really into it. I still am! xD

That's such an insightful view on TLOTR! I would never have seen so much in the book myself, but maybe it has to do with the fact that I read it 6 years ago, and I was barely 13 :S So, I know I was young and all, buuut I seriously think that Sam was the one that destroyed the ring. Frodo is always in danger, and Sam is the one that saves him. He carries him. He feeds him. He defends him. Maybe Frodo was the one who was never able to go on with his life, but that's because, imo, he's weak-spirited. If Sam hadn't been there, I wouldn't have made it. And I know that the story is about the companionship -if Aragorn, Gimli and the others hadn't been there, the ring wouldn't have been destroyed. But that's how I see it. I'd be interested to know how you see it, though :)
the name of the movie is Cándida. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0495219/ Just thinking about the injustice of this movie makes me wanna cry :( And I know it's even harder when people laugh about a fate

Your comment had me thinking about Sam for a while. At first I was like, "no, Sam would never have been able to destroy the ring" because the books says so (if I remember correctly
( ... )
ok, now I've been thinking about this. Maybe the most praiseworthy thing about Frodo is the fact that, though being weak-spirited AND knowing it, he decided to take on the challenge and destroy the ring. But I think that Sam is praiseworthy too, because he was loyal till the end to Frodo. He was always there for him even when Frodo suspected him and yelled at him, and I just love that :)
Yes, yes, he is! :) No matter what Frodo and he had to go through, Sam never gave up on them, he did feel black despair and yet he managed to stay true to himself and their quest. I was so glad that at the end Sam was actually able to go on with his life - marrying, having children and becoming a respected authority as the mayor. For me, Sam represents life and hope, and since the book ends with Sam I started to feel better again. :)
