Okay, if you have already seen it, please do not post any (additional lol) spoilers right now. (Please at least wait until tomorrow afternoon!) I thought we needed a thread where people (or Elves... ;D) could share their thoughts/feelings/opinions about/of the EE!! So........feel free!!!! If you are anxious and eagerly awaiting The Precious, here you can express yourself and attempt to calm yourself (however temporary that may be  ). If you have the EE, you can talk about what you think!!!!(Just not yet... Nienna (and Shadow) and I don't want any spoilers, lol  |

Ooooooo What a great idea, sis!! I should have thought of this thread! Well, let me see what I can say...I woke up at 5 am (thought that I was waking up at 3, but it didn't happen...  )so I am pretty dog tired (keep in mind that I went to bed at midnight--but some people can survive on just 5 hours sleeip (like you, sis  ;D ). Just remember the lack of sleep as you are reading this...it might be painfully obvious that I'm half-dead...And now you are probably thinking, "Nienna is up this early because of The Precious", but you would be wrong...  . I don't get THAT until I go over my grandparent's house at NOON!!! *CRIES*  You've heard right. No Precious until noon...that's another 6 HOURS MORE!!!!! *cries so more* *sigh* But you better believe that the whole time I am eating breakfast, going to church, getting changed, walking upstairs, breathing ( --you get the picture? Hopefully : I will be thinking about The Precious. Honestly, I really believed that when the 14th came that there would be a TON of spoilers on this site to tempt me with...I was sooooooooooo tempted to watch all of the clips that Shadow put up (thanks for the temptations, Shadow...  ), but I WAS strong enough to resist at least one. I really wanted to be surprised (at least a little bit), so for at least a month and a half I haven't seen ONE spoiler trailer or pic (I've been a good little Elf . It hasn't been easy, but my "sacrifice" will be well worth it in 6 hours when I FINALLY get The Precious. This morning I plan on waking my parents up early (in 10 minutes...no sleep for them MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! ;D) so that I can open my other presents...but I know that The Precious won't be there...*cries some more* Well, I'm off to planning how I will be waking up my parents THIS year...this should be fun. ~ Nienna (Enjoy The Precious, everyone!!--especially you, sis...it will be well worth it!! I have a feeling that we won't see you here for days or possibly weeks because you'll be trying to memorize every last frame of the movie's pixles. LOL ) |

I hope sis, that you have been enjoying The Precious!!!! As for me, I haven't even seen it yet!!  (if you hadn't already found out by my siggy, lol) I have it, all right...but I cannot watch it!! It is sitting above me right now on my shelf, almost exactly straight above my head! lol, I'll explain....  my room was already a complete mess again by christmas because I had been, once again, preparing for the new furniture that was supposed to finally also come. Now, as you might know, I would *not* be able to watch any LotR (and especially not the RotK EE!) in a VERY messy room. So I didn't watch it on Christmas, afterall we were gone all day anyway. I did get the furniture on Sunday, but this only made my room much much much much MUCH worse (in the messy and disorganised sense!) because everything was really out of order now, lol. (not that I didn't like the furniture or anything...but I was pretty irratated at this point, lol..) Well...during the next few days I had been trying to fix everything and then I realised that I had better start working on some of the assignments I had to do (which is a LOT! we have exams during mid-Jan. this year, so the semester is not even over) and the term paper I had to write. So I spent several days doing that and then in the meantime trying to clean and organise...today I spent the whole day at the library getting the other stuff done (can't do any studying or work in chaos either lol). My term paper (and other assignments) is *almost* done, but my room is for the most part still a mess! So, there my EE sits, above my head, STILL IN THE PLASTIC!!!!!! It is not that I do not want to watch it, because I just looked at it from how another person might see it; I am very anxious and I can't really focus because it's all I can really think about, my thoughts always come back to The Precious!! (MY PRECIOUSSSSSSSSS) But I just cannot watch it yet, or even open it(!) until this chaos is gone!! (I do feel like I am babbling, this I can't control because my anxiety about the EE and the frustration with myself (because of course I'm really the only one who is standing in the way of me watching it.... ) is coming out through it and AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ARRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I just want to scream!!  (SEE, I AM NOT SANE TONIGHT, I feel like I am talking about a schitzo (sp???lol)- and on a website I read that Gollum could actually be classified as one!! That means I'm just like Gollum!! MY PRECIOUSSS!!! Oh I know I am just like Gollum!! I want to see my Preciousssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *sigh* And I shouldn't even be sitting here. I should be cleaning and getting things done so that I can see The Precious! Or going to sleep, so that I can wake up early and do the same......I just know that tomorrow night (remember I musssst watch The Precious at night only !) I am going to finally watch it!!! That is, I'm going to start watching the first EE, then the second, etc... (like I had planned!) I think it's a great way to bring in the new year!!!!!!!! WITH THE PRECIOUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Only now I'm still feeling about the same way because now I must make everything perfect in just one day....must get everything done (including anything for school, I do NOT want to have to be doing any thing for school by Sunday night....feeling like a procrastinator!!! not this time!! "NOT THIS TIME!!!!" ( ;D ;D ;D) ...okay enough rambling from Ared I shall now click post and then let the lunacy continue... |

Well I hope that you've made *some* progress since the other day, sis!! You HAVE to finish cleaning!! But I understand your point on wanting the mood to be absolutely 100% perfect before you see it. The EE IS the object of complete and ultimate perfection after all. ;D I swear, if I lived in Florida I would be driving over your house right now to clean it for you!! This isn't healthy, sis!! You will drive yourself mad!! ~ Nienna |

Yes!! It is completely clean and organised and the mood is FINALLY just right! But now I can't decide if I should watch all 3 EE's tonight...because that would mean that I'd stay up VERY late. If I did this then I would probably go to sleep for maybe 4 or 5 hours (don't want to sleep all day) and then wake up. But then my 'sleeping cycle' would be way off! Not the best way to start the new semester. (I go back to school Monday.) But then, only today I stayed up until 5 a.m. cleaning (that's what I did for New year's - it was worth it though, I love my room! ;D). But still, maybe it's a bad idea because I am going to have to be waking up at 5:20 all week and I'll be used to sleeping way in, lol. I'm feeling so indecisive!! And then when I think about it...I've waited all this time to watch the three EE's back to back, and since I only like to watch them at night, I'll have to do the same thing- stay up that late. And I've already had to wait A WEEK since I got The Precious, maybe I should just let myself enjoy it and do what I have been waiting for!! (I really don't want to watch just the RotK EE by itself, not after fasting from the other two just so I could watch them all together!) Well, I already have the FotR EE in and ready to go ( ;D ;D ;D!!!!!), so I guess I'm just going to go for it! I'll make some caffeinated tea later. If I think I'll run out of time (I might as it is) to watch them all before the sun comes up (lol) then I'll just go past some of the Helm's Deep scenes...I guess. AREDHEL IS GOING TO BE HAPPY TONIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Most likely (just like you sis) I'll get a EE high that will last a very long time....... Must go now....must watch The Precious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (all of them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) |

Wellllllll......... I still haven't seen it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That night I watched only FotR and half of TTT, then sunday night I watched the last half of TTT. But then it was too late to watch RotK...if I had I would have been up until almost 2:30! I did peek at the menu though....absolutely beautiful!!!!!!!!!!! I'm planning on watching it Friday.... arrrrghhhhh I will be looking forward to it (well of course!!!!!!!!!!!), especially because this week I have 3 projects due and nine week exams, and next week I have semester exams (and more due). So I definitely will need a break. And right now....well I have been working on my Latin project that is due tomorrow! I thought it was due Friday!!! There is no way I am going to finish it tonight, I am so tired too...in fact I can't even reallly stay awake. ahhh, I should have just watched RotK yesterday!!! I'm up at almost 2 a.m. now! Well, I'm going to sleep! I'll just have to get it done tomorrow and possibly turn it in late. I can't do anything about it now. I am *very* tired! (and still RotK-deprived ) /me passes out (probably won't be here much this week....I'm sure you can guess why! I need to pause time... arrghh *sob* ) -very frustrated, stressed out, deprived(! ) Ared (And this time I didn't even wait until the last minute!! I thought I was doing well, getting some of it done earlier.... ) (sorry for the post of ramble ( ), I'm not completely awake now. Today (the 3rd) was Tolkien's b-day by the way!! lol...random but nonetheless important! ;D) ................. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...............(Ah, and for some reason I keep hearing Aragorn say "What say you?!" in my head...even though I've not seen RotK in..a long time. ) /me finally really does pass out after just reaching bed, only to wake up in not much more than 3.5 hours |

Yeah, in the beginning when I first saw Gollum he really turned me off of TTT for some time...but not for long! Then I learned all about how he had suffered and how he had become the way he did. It's amazing how my opinion of so many of Tolkien's characters changed for the better after I learned their back story. Like Boromir, for example. When he tried to take the Ring from Frodo in FotR, I did not like him for a while. But then after I saw TTT EE and saw how much pressure Denethor put on him to be the perfect son, I started to really feel sorry for him. I had a new understanding of how much he wanted to please his father, even though deep down I'm sure he knew that the Ring could not have saved Gondor, only destroyed it. Faramir understood that. Like Pippin said, Faramir may not have had strength in battle, but a different type of strength. He was so different from Boromir, and to Denethor it was seen as more of a weakness than anything else. ~ Nienna |
