The Two Towers
The Two Towers came out in theatres last Wednesday. I was one of the many who stood outside during a cold day in nasty slush weather. My roomate and I only stood for an hour while some only five feet ahead of us had been there overnight. Now, consider this as you get to know Bemidji (my town) a little better. The first showing, unlike civilized towns had the first showing on Wednesday at 4:30 pm and 8:30pm. That was it. They picked only one screen for a phenomenal film! Yet, Harry Potter started around noon AND was on two screens. Something is terrribly wrong in the world. The funny thing was that it seemed to be one large college party. There were mostly college students, most of whom I have seen or know and many "line whores" who would run from one end of the line to the next to jump on guys' backs and talk. I got a pretty good seat for the first viewing and for having gotten at the theatre at 3pm. I felt a bit bad for those that stayed the night to be reduced to meat popscicles by the time the theatre opened the doors for us.

Legolas - Who can NOT admit he is hot?! When his name popped up in credits or when he first appeared on the screen, women caterwauled and moaned. I swear most had to get up and walk off their flashes of passion. I bet most of the boyfriends felt a bit clumsy after watching the women drool after such a lithe and frisky elf. I have to admit, once you've had elf, you can't go back. It must be the ears, but my roomate thinks it is his cat-like grace. I have seen his pictures with the dark hair, but I personally enjoy him with that nice long blonde hair and the ears. "ORCS!"

Gimlikins - What a cutey. I would toss him any day! I have to admit, I have a fetish for dwarves. They are so cute and gruff and grumpy! Makes me want to just go give them a big old hug and smooch on the nose. They realy did a great job in portraying the dwarf and his peculiarities, especially with his competition against that dead-sexy elf.

Aragorn - Elf maiden...Human Princess... Oh the poor man must be having a terrible time! I was all upset when I thought he may turn down the elf for the human, but as I got to know the human and saw the problems he and the elf were having, I felt that it may be better in the interest in the human world for those two to get married and unite the two cities. (I am starting to scare even myself!)

Ents - Yes, were big, bad, and burn easy, but we can KICK SOME ORC ASS! I have to tell you, that scene makes the whole movie. You just have to enjoy nice gentle creatures that could squash an orc like a bug go out and do just that!
