RotK: EE

[annundriel]

Have watched few selected new scenes for the extended edition of RotK. "The Houses of Healing" and "The Captain and the Lady" in particular because I've never denied my Eowyn and Faramir love. And, dude, *massive* hearts. "The Captain and the Lady"? Sooooo pretty. Also watched most of the cast commentary on the second disc. Just because. I'd forgotten how much fun it is to listen to Billy. And Dom. <3 (Dom compared Valinor to Alcatraz. "There's no coming back from Valinor. It's like Alcatraz. You don't come back from Alcatraz.")

All I can say about the extended edition so far?

Squee!

Wow.

Hell yeah.

::tear::

Wow.

It's beautiful. Beautiful and over. Almost makes me feel like I did when I finished the book. And that will only be worse when the family actually sits down and watches the entire thing through.

And, y'know, for as much as I've said that I haven't felt the need to see the entire third film since the theatre, I can't deny that need now. Nor can I deny the way seeing five minutes of it affects me. Over Thanksgiving we watched the last half hour of it and I was bawling. And even now just watching parts, I'm teary. I don't think it will ever stop affecting me. And there's a part of me that doesn't want that to ever change. Just as I don't want my reaction to the book's end to change.

Could I be any more of a sap? Could I be any dorkier?

Don't answer.

There is, however, an easter egg on the second disc of Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn (I think - it's the other main guy from Dodgeball) trying to talk Peter Jackson into a sequel. It's high-larious.
