Duuude.

So that's how they're gonna do the next movie. *rubs her head* My poor, poor brain with all this wrapping.

In other news, James Marsters and Sean Bean were about due for an Italian gay drama, no?

Aragorn is 87, eh? Yow. I'd love me some of what's in that Middle Earth water. The director's cut of Two Towers will run three hours and forty-three minutes, with this notable addition from USAToday.com for mah girls:

Bean's ring-craving Boromir, slain at the end of 2001's The Fellowship of the Ring, is resurrected in a lengthy DVD flashback after brother Faramir (David Wenham) finds a boat bearing his body.

Not only is there more Bean to savor, but the twisted emotional ties that ensnare ruler Denethor (New Zealand actor John Noble, who officially joins the cast in King), his favorite son, Boromir, and scapegoat Faramir also are exposed.


Also, I got a good chuckle out of a Sun article about four men arrested for stealing copies of the fifth Harry Potter book. I mean, yes, theft, and yes, they did sell it to the tabloids, but it's books, kids, and therefore just that amusingly incongruous.

Note to self: sustained high-volume, high-pitched noises aren't good for the throat. Because eeeeeeeemore-bean-and-faramir-and-his-daddy-issues-and-denethor-must-DIE-buteeeeeeee! etc.

Meanwhile, [Eowyn's] unrequited passion for visiting warrior Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen) is further inflamed when he tames an unruly horse by whispering sweet nothings in Elvish.

alskdfjlskdfjlsl;asfj. Though I'd always pictured them whispered into *Legolas's* ear.

It turns out Aragorn's line (and I could remember what it was if I actually *knew* all 57 of his names and titles--but I don't) lives a double lifespan. I can't remember which of the books I've read it in, or if I've only seen it in on-line references, but he's mentioned it in at least one interview that I've read a clip from.

In other news, the songvid's been popping images into my brain for the past two days, and I badly need FOTR, TTT, vidding software, and The Complete-Novice-but-Not-Quite-An-Idiot's Guide to Songvids. We need to get together to fill in the holes and laugh ourselves sick. We seriously need to get together. :-p Call me, we could do something tonight, after I'm through becoming employed. ;-D
