just out of curiosity
Having just finished my annual re-watch of LotR, in my case a six-night event, one 2-hour DVD each night of the extended version, I wonder. I know some of you out there have watched it all from beginning to end in one 12-hour marathon. How on earth do you manage it???
And why do my eyes start leaking along about when Frodo and Sam are lying on the rock in the middle of all that lava telling each other they're so glad that if they've got to die at least they're doing it together, and keep sniffling through Aragorn's reunion with Arwen right up till Sam says, "well, I'm home" at the very, very end? After having seen this thing every year since it all came out???
Come to think of it, I cry at movies at the drop of a hat. But I rarely, if ever, cry at books. I wonder why that is?
Also, I do wonder if Emperor Gregor's ever watched LotR on the holovid, or read the books [g]. Somehow I think he and Aragorn would have a lot to talk about should anyone (other than me) ever care to write the fanfic.
Oh, and speaking of writing, I didn't post today's words:
1166 words today. I should have a complete Chapter 13 by Monday at this rate (assuming I don't write much tomorrow, after all, Seahawks [g]).
