I rewatched The Lord of the Rings! Apparently that warrants commentary and picspamming! BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY NOBODY TALKED ABOUT THIS SHIT FIVE TO SEVEN YEARS AGO? ...Yeah i have like fifty current tv shows to catch up on and i was still in the middle of Doctor Who nerding out and this is what i do instead. HEY HI HI HEY I'M RELEVANT HI

Guh. Gorgeous. Epic (*snerk*) picspam!

[toastandtea]

Thank you! It also took me an epic amount of time to put together! XD

OMG LOTR, DUDE.

Okay, so I never got into the online thing for it (ever, this was wayyyy before I ever even dipped my toes into fandom waters of any kind), I have still never even SEEN any of the extended versions (I KNOW!), and it's been so long since I read the trilogy I barely remember it (weirdly, I read The Hobbit last and remember it slightly better?), but... DUDE.

I have so much love for the films. You're right, they're not perfect, but... damn, they are so epic and amazing and beautiful (your caps reminded me of this totally needlessly yet wonderfully!), and there is at least one moment in each one that makes me slightly weepy. And then Pippin's Song in Rotk DOES make me cry, like a little bitch.

Okay, Zellie is done rambling needlessly now! In conclusion: Lord of the RINNNNGS! :D

I never got into the fandom either! I made some icons and some fanart, but that's about it. Then again that's basically how i interact with EVERY fandom: mess around with pretty pictures and keep to myself. And i totally get you on not watching the extended editions, this was actually the first time i'd seen them. :O Even though i have owned them, uh, since they were released. It's just that it's such a daunting time investment it's really hard to set aside a good chunk of time to hunker down and watch it. (even though each movie is the equivalent of only a handful of episodes of an hour-long drama! it just SEEMS bigger though. more involved.)

there is at least one moment in each one that makes me slightly weepy.Ditto! It's all very overwhelming, not only with a war being fought by an entire world and good vs. evil but also just on a basic emotional level

[leucocrystal]

I don't own any versions of any of the films! How this still is a fact, I'm not sure, but it needs to be amended post haste. (And then I will watch them, and it will be awesome, obv.) You're right that it's a tad overwhelming, just because there's so much emotional stuff going on, so much death, so much struggle, etc. Plus, that MUSIC, dude. It does things to your soul!

It's such a short song! But it gives me chills, every time. The way it's edited, cut with all those soldiers riding off to die is just... tragic and perfect.

I remember that! That was amazing. Like you say, recognition for the fantasy nerds! It's funny, because I'm not really into sci-fi or fantasy (yes, there are a few exceptions to both, but on the whole: no), but even I felt all happy about that. It was too awesome not to.

Ahh, I need to rewatch these movies! They are so gorgeous and perfect. Back in my LotR days, I could say the dialogue along with most of the movies. And that picture of Frodo in the 4th row down on the left was always my favorite. Such pretty, pretty eyelashes.

[toastandtea]

Haha i remember repeating a LOT of lines from Fellowship with my little brother. Being a nerd is so fun!

And that picture of Frodo in the 4th row down on the left was always my favorite. Such pretty, pretty eyelashes.

MINE TOO! Of course when i think about it i have at least a few favorites, but i've always loved that one a ton. EYELASHES. And his little ruddy cheeks! So preeeetttyyyy.

[toastandtea]

Oh man, A FULL DAY! I watched over three nights, all at once is kind of daunting. :O It had been too long for me too though, i was finally like "AGH, GOTTA REWATCH."

THOUGH the reason you didn't see it the first time is probably that it's only in the extended edition of the movie.

Oh yeah, i knew that. I meant i didn't remember saying that about that specific scene from the book. I was so pissed when all there was of Eowyn/Faramir in the theatrical version was... them looking at each other at Aragorn's coronation. UH, THANKS?!??

The most BEAUTIFUL LOTR picspam EVER.
Thank you, it's wonderful. I missed these movies, now I think it's time for a rewatch.

[toastandtea]

Aw, thank you! And you're welcome! I missed them too, it's always good to go back and remind yourself of total greatness.
