The Two Towers

[cdybedahl]

We finally got around to seeing TTT. Impressions a couple of hours afterwards:

• It's visually amazing.
• The ents were fairly disappointing. And the one that got set on fire at Isengard looked like Zadok from One Over Zero.
• Legolas is way, way cool. That horse-mounting stunt alone was worth a shitload of coolness points. Actually, I think Legolas rolled the "You pull a move so awesomely cool that all opponents spend the next round stunned" critical result from RoleMaster in that scene.
• Gandalf is a bloody drama queen. What was with that sunrise stunt anyway?
• Gollum is far and away the best computer-animated character yet.
• Seeing Caesar from Xena leading a bunch of Rohirrim was... bizarre.
• If there isn't Arwen/Eowyn slash, there should be. Just because.

I kinda liked the ents. Very Jason and the Argonauts/Clash of the Titans in feel.

There's loads of Arwen/Eowyn slash, of various quality, a lot of it dating from before the movies...

I haven't seen TTT yet - I'm still steeling myself to see Dan, Dan the Diver Man as Faramir.

*grin* loved the horse stunt too. One of those great "how the *hell* did they do that?!?" moments.

I'm sure I've read some Arwen/Eowyn slash somewhere. I'm itching to make some photomanips of those two after seeing the movie--Miranda Otto is just so goddamn gorgeous. There's one *divine* photomanip of those two at the Theban Band's (http://www.squidge.org/~praxisters/) website:
