Wow, I've been spamming a lot tonight. Ah, well. GIP! My icons go through phases -- Beatles, then Loreena McKennitt, then Monty Python, now Shakespeare. I'm a strange bird, what can I say? So, yeah, Rings-Thing.
What are your favorite moments in TTT? Specifically, and in general? What makes them your favorites--most moving, most emotional, most beautiful? Are they other than what you might have expected them to be, prior to seeing the movie?
Specifically? I love love love the Merry/Pippin moment, after the Entmoot, when Merry has completely given up, and it's dark and hopeless and heartwrenching. Especially for these two characters -- the lighthearted pranksters from the first movie -- showing the depth of the changes they've gone through. Oh, yeah, and the ending continues to kick my ass. From Gollum's final monologue to the "Follow me" to the last shot, I turn into a little puddle of GUH. My spine tingles, I swear.
In general, if it involves Theoden reciting poetry, I'm happy. Bernard Hill is incredible. Ditto to Grima and Gollum. Beautiful, beautiful. And there's a lot to be said for Dark!Frodo as well. I had no expectations when I came to see this movie -- things I was looking forward to, sure, but nothing specific. And now I am duly floored. Damn. Now I need to go see it again.

Ooh, and I finally saw it! TTT, I mean. Was good. Definitely could've used more MerryPippinEnt stuff, though. Mph. But yis. Excellent stuff, that.
