The Lord of the Rings...

[fajrdrako]

Spent the day watching The Lord of the Rings (extended edition) with maaseru, maaboroshi and lmondegreen. Because of all the snow, josanpq couldn't make it - drat! - but she phoned.

It's a wonderful New Year's Day tradition.

Sauron has fallen and all's right with the world.

Oh, and I should say that when I first saw the trailers for Fellowship I got all excited because I thought he was going to play Aragorn, and was utterly disappointed when I found out that he wasn't.

This disappointment only lasted until about thirty seconds into the Prancing Pony scene when I got my first eyeful of Viggo Mortensen, though [g].

I really can't picture Sean Bean playing Aragorn, much as I have loved Sean Bean in every role I've seen him in. But Viggo Mortensen, whom I'd never heard of before these movies - I can't imagine anyone playing Aragorn so well. It isn't his looks, though his lankiness helps. It's his style.

Yup. He really made that role his.

I hadn't seen him in anything before LotR, either.
