Work owes me five hours for Saturday, so I chucked all of the important things I should be doing (like getting ready for the move, etc...) and went and watched RotK one more time. And I'm glad I went today, because if I'd gone tomorrow I would have got to the theater and discovered it wasn't showing on Tuesdays and Wednesdays (heaven knows why and I didn't ask.)

It's amazing. Between shadowfax8, teasel and strangerian I have an entirely different take on it than I did. (Although I still wince and take off my glasses when Eowyn goes to confront Aragorn.) Didn't hear any whispers at the Grey Havens, but that may be because everyone in the audience -- all dozen of us -- was sniffling.

(Reminds herself to check if Tolkien had Sam use "nowt" or "naught" in Cirith Ungol. Movie used "naught"...)

I want my DVD. I want the rumored CD of all the music. I want some kind theater to show all three of them together in the area, and I want the stamina (and the aspirin) to actually do it. I want my knees back...
