Review of extended scenes in Two Towers (spoilers)

So I wasn't the only one thinking that...I never liked Denethor in the books, and seeing him in TT:EE just makes me dislike him more(which is a good thing, really. It fits perfectly). Though, I do understand WHY he's so unlikable. :)

Ha! I can't wait for the scene where the looney roasts himself. :D

What is interesting is that after watching all the behind the scenes footage on Disk 3 and 4, I can understand why some of you comment on certian scenes in the movie. The scenes that most of you criticize are the ones that was dicussed on the DVD as being either rushed or quickly planned (flooding of Isengard, the Warg battle, Legolas shield surfing). None of these take anything away from the movie for me, it just explains why some of you feel the way you do. The extended version confirms that I'm more of a fan of Peter Jacksons version, rather than New Lines.
 

Here's a tidbit a friend sent me. Good for those going to the marathon pn Dec 16th.....like me :-D

THINGS TO DO WHILE WATCHING ROTK (Return of the King)

Stand up halfway through the movie and yell loudly, "Wait... where the hell is Harry Potter?"

Block the entrance to the theater while screaming: "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!"

After the movie, say "Lucas could have done it better."

At some point during the movie, stand up and shout: "I must go! Middle Earth needs me!" and run and try to jump into the screen.

After bouncing off, return quietly to your seat.

Play a drinking game where you have to take a sip every time someone says: "The Ring." Point and laugh whenever someone dies.

Ask the nearest ring-nut if he thinks Gandalf went to Hogwarts.

Finish off every one of Elrond's lines with "Mr. Anderson."

When Aragorn is crowned king, stand up and at the top of your lungs sing, "And I did it.... MY way...!"

At the end, complain that Gollum was offensive to Ethiopians.

Talk like Gollum all through the movie. At the end, bite off someone's finger and fall down the stairs.

When Shelob appears, pinch the guy in front of you on the back of the neck.

Dress up as old ladies and reenact "The Battle of Helms Deep" Monty Python style.

When Denethor lights the fire, shout "Barbecue!"

Ask people around you who they think is the next "Terminator" sent from
the Middle Earth of the future to assassinate Frodo Baggins.

In TTT when the Ents decide to march to war, stand up and shout "RUN
FOREST, RUN!"

Every time someone kills an Orc, yell: "That's what I'm Tolkien about!"
See how long it takes before you get kicked out of the theatre.

During a wide shot of a battle, inquire, "Where's Waldo?"

Talk loudly about how you heard that there is a single frame of a nude Elf hidden somewhere in the movie. -Start an Orc sing-a-long.

Come to the premiere dressed as Frankenfurter and wander around looking terribly confused.

Remove the top off your drink, then proceed to light the straw on fire and tell people in the seats around you about a great battle that took place in your cup long ago.

When they go in the paths of the dead, wait for tense moment and shout, "I see dead people!"

Imitate what you think a conversation between Gollum, Dobby and Yoda would be like.

Release a jar of daddy-long-legs into the theater during the Shelob scene.

Wonder out loud if Aragorn is going to run for governor of California.

When Sam holds Frodo's hand (or otherwise), start singing, "The
Ambiguously Gay Duo!"

When Shelob comes on, exclaim, "Man! Charlotte's really let herself go!"

That is a good way to get yourself killed-- at least if you are in the same theater as me.

:D
Oh I don't plan on saying any of those things but I might slip out a little line when Theoden reminds Aragorn he's not the king here.

::mutters under breath:: Theoden reminds me I'm still not king.............

OK, I won't, but if somebody did that I would laugh my arse off so much... then procede to kill him.

These are the best.

These are the ones that made me laugh out loud at work, with NO ONE I can explain them to w/o thinking I'm schizo. :D
