cellioWe saw LOTR tonight. Eh. Disappointing, though certainly ok (and I'll get it on DVD when it comes out). The horses are darn lucky that the orcs didn't know how to use their pikes. I don't like Gimli being treated as mere comic relief; there's a real character there if only they'd let him out. Gollum was well-done -- and am I to understand that it's CGI? The ents were fun. Cinematography was generally well-done.
I do wonder how someone who hasn't read the books would react to this movie; it seemed more a loose collection of scenes than a cohesive story.
We're going to go see the Trek movie tomorrow night; it'll probably fare better because expectations will be lower. :-)
We are still waiting for one DVD to arrive, which I mail-ordered three weeks ago. It was supposedly shipped by media mail on December 5; it should be here by now, dammit. I need it Sunday, which is when we go to visit my family. I will be frustrated if I have to give the recipient a promisory note when I actually didn't put it off until the last minute.
