Seen any good films lately? [2]

He is so flirting with Eowyn... drank from her cup and everything!!- Lance

I hate that scene but particularly for Theodens reaction, encouraging it.

Its one thing to show Eowyn as mistaking their relationship, its another for a world wise King to do it  
And they definitely play that scene as if Aragorn is seriously thinking about it with Arwen supposedly leaving  
And apart from anything else it smacks of one of those things PJ made up on the spot as Viggo's performance in other scenes he plays Aragorns attitude close to that of the book Aragorn- with sadness and compassion. He certainly wouldnt be so cruel as to lead her on

I KNOW!!!!   he was definately giving her the ol beer mead goggles

Think he was considering giving her more than that. Dirty old man!!

I think he was being polite and thought it would be cruel braking her heart at that fiest.

Nah he is def leading her on in that scene- he gves her the eye and he drinks from her cup and thats some pretty blatant symbolism.

Yep. Give him his dues though... Arwen did live in a different postcode.




And it must have been a while...  

WTF? How have I only just noticed this?

Faramir fighting the Orcs in Osigiliath at night. Go West..... Merry lights the beacon in Minas Tirith in the day. Go West... first beacons alight in they day. Go West, next beacons alight at dusk. Go West, next beacons alight middle of night. Go West, Aragorn sees them alight in the day.

I fixed this sequence in my edits Lance- in my edit Pippin doesn't lit the beacons, the beacons are lit as a direct response to the rout at Osgiliath and are now part of that scene, and the sequence of beacons being lit goes from night to day.  

Denethor mentioned the Pelennor (although nothing about what that is).

So much I forget about from the EE.

you know that originally Tolkien had Aragorn marrying Eowyn?

Go West, next beacons alight middle of night. Go West, Aragorn sees them alight in the day. Go west.. Life is peaceful there! Go west... in the open air! Go west.. baby you and me... go west, this is our destinyyy!

Finished it for you

Oh, good lord, Mrs Figg, where did that come from, one of Chris's books? Which one?! Now I am going to have to reread!!! Auugggh!

maybe I dreamt it  

but I am pretty sure I read it somewhere   

I'm pretty sure you're right about that, Mrs Figg. Although in an even earlier version of the story (both found in The History of Middle-earth series), Aragorn was a Hobbit named Trotter who may or may not have been a deranged Bilbo Baggins, soooo...

All that is gold does not glitter - Trotter Baggins, King of Gondor

You can't polish a turd, but you can roll it in glitter - WETA on PJs script.

That's perfect, Lance.

3D 48fps glitter

The most apt description yet Lance  

omg, yes, perfect

Kudos Lance, my you do amaze! I'd hate to sniff that nugget!
*looks at her cats and sighs*

Just watched the directors cut of Dark City- I highly recommend it and if you have never seen the film at all its a must see.
It came out the year before the Matrix, which totally overshadowed it as they have similar premises, which is a pity as for me this is the better film.
I love the look too, a mix of film noir and German industrial and a beautiful use of models and mattes.
Story wise its kind of like the thinking persons Matrix.



Oh and the soundtrack is excellent too.

But there was no 'bullet time' Petty. Was never gonna beat the Matrix without that.

I must say I have no idea what is going on from the trailer. I don't think I would watch it based on seeing that.

Its one of those films its hard to make a trailer for without giving it away. For much the same reason its hard for me to explain it without giving to much away.
Its not as slick, or a easy to watch as the Matrix but its a lot more thoughtful.

Saw this one over the summer, really liked it. The director's cut is a must for this one.
