After doing yardwork and going to Sam's/Lowe's, we (my parents and I) went to see The Two Towers.
I could barely contain myself through the entire movie. I was absolutely full of boyish excitement, my heart was in my throat the entire time as I watched something happening on the screen that I could only imagine for so many years since I was first awed by Lord of the Rings when I was small. I was near tears from sheer joy.
I haven't reveled in something so fully and without shame since I was a kid. I was absolutely caught up in the story, in the romance of it all, and the excitement and danger, all the glory of a great epic good v. evil tale.
Peter Jackson et al, thank you.
I really am a romantic at heart, I just need to be reawakened and reinspired every so often. I think I've gotten to taking myself a bit too seriously of late.
It must be the stress. All work and no play makes Halcyon a very dull boy.
If you haven't seen the movie yet, see it now. I never thought the battle at Helm's Deep could be properly done in film, but I was wrong. Very wrong. And the ents. They were always my favorite.
They're so... European.
