It's getting too stuffy on thechat, so I am going to introduce a surefire
tension diffuser. :)
So LoTR: The Two Towers finally rolled into town on Friday (4 bloody months
late) and I went to see it yesterday. Now, I have the book, but I haven't
read it yet because the size of it intimidates me.
So here are some questions I have after 179 minutes of viewing:
1) Am I the only one who finds Gollum as irritating as Jar Jar Binks? I
know he's important to the plot and all that, but that hissing really got
to me after a while. It also looked like the CGI dudes intentionally gave
him every expression they could think of just to say, "Look what I can do
with SFX. Ain't it cool?"
2) How did Gandalf come back from the dead? I turned to the chapter in the
book that talks about it, and it only says something about his work not
being complete.
3) Is Gandalf the White more powerful than Gandalf the Grey?
4) How did Theoden's nephew get so many troops at the end? When we saw him
earlier, he only had some 40-50 men riding with him.
5) Ain't Legolas cool? For some reason, I really dig him.
6) How are new Uruk Hai created? What's that sac-like thing they come out from?
7) Treebeard is supposed to be only about 14 ft. tall. Them trees all
looked a lot taller, relatively speaking.
8) Liv Tyler v/s Miranda Otto? No contest.
That's all for now. Let the discussion begin.

Madhu
