I know who ...KIRI LIZ -- good job knowing them all! I know who Karl Urban is, but not the others -- you definitely have me beat. :) It's true, Aragorn isn't perfect...but you're right, he learned. So glad Faramir and Eowyn got together! I wish we'd seen more of them though. Really? They filmed F&E's wedding and it's not viewable for us? SO SAD. I want to see that. A lot. We should start a petition or something...? ;) Poor Gimli, yes. And I always am a little surprised at how Aragorn's always leading -- guess he was the natural leader, so Legolas let him run ahead? TTT is a great movie, gotta agree. :)<br /><br />ANALIESE -- Helm's Deep was pretty cool! Interesting...a person who wants Eowyn with Aragorn! We'll watch them again sometime and see what you think. :)<br /><br />HAMLETTE -- Great thoughts, that's true...Aragorn and Eowyn do both need someone to soften them. It makes total sense. :) Ah yes, and Sam's quotes about potatoes are SO awesome! Love it. :) Woot for us wet, dirty, Aragorn fans! He's definitely best with the Strider look over the kingly look. <br /><br />KATELYN, no problem with the mixed up accounts. :) I've seen parts of the extended versions, but not all -- really want to someday! I agree, every big LOTR fan needs to. :)Charity Uhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02717998337967392912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2033222968822363515.post-60199428826385270402013-03-12T08:23:35.735-05:002013-03-12T08:23:35.735-05:00The above comment is mine-I didn't realize tha...The above comment is mine-I didn't realize that my Mom was still logged in! opps....Katelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04583260655061490546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2033222968822363515.post-34786442759232580262013-03-11T17:37:07.973-05:002013-03-11T17:37:07.973-05:00We have the Extended Version of all three and it t...We have the Extended Version of all three and it takes my family about 2 months to watch them.

Eowyn needs someone to soften her, and so does Aragorn, if that makes any sense. Someone who reaches their kinder, gentler side and gets them to embrace it. Aragorn and Eowyn are both proud and strong, both warriors -- I think they would have ended up fighting a lot.<br /><br />Sam and his rabbits -- that's probably one of my favorite scenes in the trilogy! Just for a little bit, he can be happy and at peace again. Also, we quote his bit about potatoes all the time. "What's taters, Precious?" "Poh-tay-toes. Mash 'em, roast 'em, stick 'em in a stew." :-D<br /><br />And I LOVE Aragorn all dirty and bedraggled and wet, as he sunders the doors of Edoras. I have little patience for Aragorn when he's clean, as he always seems to end up wearing pajamas. But when he's got the Strider look, I love him a lot. (Just not as much as Boromir, who is always wonderful, clean or dirty.)Hamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2033222968822363515.post-58192365275728638722013-03-11T11:49:51.910-05:002013-03-11T11:49:51.910-05:00Great post!!

Secondly, I'm sorry but I disagree - I wish Aragorn had married Eowyn. I just like her better. :D I think FotR is my favorite of the three, but they're all awesome.

TTT review!
Guilty... I know who each an...Huzzah! TTT review! <br /><br />Guilty... I know who each and every one of those actors is. And Bernard Hill, Karl Urban, and David Wenham. And a whole ton of others.<br /><br />Hmm.... I would have to disagree with you on the point of Aragorn. He has never really been a favorite of mine. I love his loyalty to his friends, and yes, he is steadfast in his love for Arwen, but I didn't appreciate that he was willing for his throne to stay in the hands of the Steward and for his country to fall into the hands of the enemy while he was elsewhere. Sure, maybe his motives were pure, thinking as he was trying to help Middle Earth as a whole, helping Frodo destroy the Ring and fighting Sauron, but I was slightly disappointed he never took more interest in Gondor, his own people. But on the happier side, he did learn to take that interest.<br /><br />But we won't harp on that. I'm sorry... I've always liked Faramir better than Aragorn. Unloved by his father, torn from the brother he admired so... you couldn't help but feel sorry for him. Yes, I was glad he fell in love with Eowyn at the end. Faramir deserved someone like her. Personally, I've never liked matching up Eowyn with Aragorn. They didn't suit each other, not in my opinion. But that's just me. <br /><br />Oh... did you know that they filmed Eowyn's and Faramir's wedding but took it out of the final cut of the film? PJ still hasn't released the footage, much to many people's dismay. Epic failure!<br /><br />Haha! I love watching the Three Hunters! It's so funny to see Gimli huffing and puffing far behind the other two, poor guy. You'd expect Legolas, the elf, to be the one crossing the terrain without a problem, but I always laugh when the film shows long shots, and Aragorn's in the lead. Apparently, VM was more in shape than OB. :D<br /><br />I think TTT may be my favorite of the trilogy, but only just, *just* slightly. There are so many great scenes in this one, great lines, great characters, great fights, etc. LOTR is epic.
