[QUOTE="Skade, post: 1281718, member: 3320"] Had it not been for the girl I am seeing, I would likely have only seen the movie once this week. Let me describe this girl a bit. She's young, until recently never been appreciated as anything more than a pretty face, used to social situations that require alchohol as its facilitator, and one of the *cool* people. The words geek, nerd and fan-boy (girl) don't apply here in the least. Yet, this is the girl who begged me to take her to see it twice in as many days, who asked me questions about plot and character and even the technology in making the movie. She loves them, so does her roommate, who is much like her. I asked her about the idea of this being a geek movie, or for guys and she thought that was just silly. She loved the fantasy, the break from this world and the ability it had to draw you in to something wholly real, with all the terror and joy it was capable of. What more could anyone want from a movie? Admittedly, her favorite scene was Aragorn and Arwen "hooking up" but, hell, I wanted to see that kiss. :) [/QUOTE]
