The Two Towers
Dec. 29th, 2002 10:58 pmWe 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.

There's one *divine* photomanip of those two at the Theban Band's (http://www.squidge.org/~praxisters/) website:
