Just went to see Fellowship for the fourth time. Following a tip from Meghan about the Two Towers trailer being appended now, I dragged my mother to see it for the first time. As predicted, she loved it. Lots of fun.

Maybe it's just because I've read the books since last I saw, and can now appreciate more detail and stuff, but I really picked up more, especially about Aragorn, this time through. Lots of complexity, and depth, and ye gods and little fishes, what a stunningly gorgeous character. Yes, I am changing my allegiance. This little elf-swooning girl has recalled her roots, and that she likes the guys with a bit of rough (ruff, ruff), and has become a Strider gal.

And oh my DOUG, but doesn't Two Towers look good. Oh, oh, oh. Lots of fun, lots of Aragorn, lots of development that never happened in the sodding, blind, boring, bloody books and isn't that just grand? I can hardly wait until Christmas. I wants, precious.

In the meantime, I'll just have to make do with Episode 2. There was a trailer for that too. And I'd already seen the Swoon Trailer (the one that's all Anakin and Amidala and "Oh, we mustn't!" and stuff), but this one was the Kick-Ass Trailer. Shit going down all over the place and damn! it looks good. Oh yeah. Midnight preview of that, I think.
