Its amazing how your friends can make a lousy day better. I got up late, had car trouble, had a lousy first class (Algebra II, enough said), had a boring study hall, but I get to band and boom my day is better. I loff my friends. ::fluffs them up::

And then I got out at 2:50 today for "The Two Towers".

Wow. That is all I have to say.

TTT stuff )

Like I said, more when I see it again. Its been six hours and I have to finish a ficlet. ::flies off: :)

I had a nightmare last night. It was one of the really real ones that the minute you wake up, you still have reality mixed with the nightmare. I nightmared that my school replaced detentions and suspensions and expulsions from the school with the death penalty. Which is, of course in reality is absurd, I don't believe that anyone would support such a change in the real world for a second, but it was a nightmare and it was so real.

One of my friends was preparing to die in a truly odd fashion (something to do with a box and a fishing rod). I was completely beside myself, and told my friend I loved her, etc. She said, "Oh, thanks," like I was complimenting her on her hair looked nice or something similar.

!!!! She was so calm about this! I felt like getting up on that damned box and giving her a "Gates of Hell" speech that would make [livejournal.com profile] epicyclical proud to tears. Except I already felt like I was at the Gates of Hell. I felt abandoned by God as well as anything right and good in the world and sanity. I know we joke about being insane and crazy, but that is nothing compared to the lack of sanity going on in my nightmare.

But before I could even jump up on that box, I woke up.

I found this on IMDb.com. Enjoy. :)

there have been a lot of discussion about changing the title because of 11th sept. and I know all of you are against it, but I don't. Can't you think about how some people can be hurted because of that title? I know lotr was written years ago, but nowadays this title is politically incorrect. Besides there are some things in the fellowship of the ring which really are not politically correct, and they should have been changed in order to not hurt some people.
here are the changes:

- All the characters in FotR are white and straight. It can hurt some minor groups, so some characters should have been black (for example Aragorn and Merry), some latinos (arwen and Elrond) and some gays (Legolas and Gimli).

- Hobbits are really short, that surely hurts short people, so they should have been taller, or at least every 20 minutes some member of the fellowship should have said: You are not short, you are low-heighted people, but we love you.

- Sam is quite fat. That can hurt fat people, so he should have been thinner.

- Elves are really thin. That can provide a bad example to teenagers who would become anorexic. So they should be fatter.

- Elves have also long blonde hair. That can hurt bald people, who would feel jealous. So some elves should have been bald, for example Legolas and Celeborn.

- Saruman is an evil wizard. That would hurt David Copperfield, so Saruman should have changed his job. He could have been president of USA instead of wizard.

- Orcs have a really crooked-horrible teeth. That can hurt dentists. They should have had a perfect smile.

- A ring contains the evil power. That would be bad for jewelers. So instead of a ring, the evil would be contained in a small box. So it would be called, 'the lord of the small box'

- There isn't any kind of church, that would hurt catholic people. So every sunday, the fellowship should go to the church, except the people who belong to other religions, for example Sam would be budist and Boromir islamic.


And someone else wrote:

Why stop there?

The Ringwraiths and their horses being in all black is just too racist. They should be colored more like the Power Rangers, one for each color of the rainbow.

That flood scene could terrify people scared of the water, not to mention the poor connotation it put on the horses that appearred to be part of it. Couldn't Arwen simply have said "go away" or "boo" or something like that, then the Ringwraith Power Rangers could have just run away?

I'm concerned that the Watcher puts squid and octopi in a bad light. Couldn't Frodo have just tripped on a rock or something and fell in the water?

There is an ever growing population of demon and devil worshippers whom I'm sure were offended by the Balrog scene. Perhaps something like a little bunny would have been better. I hear that one used in The Quest for the Holy Grail is out of work.

And what's with all the magnificent mountain scenes. People who live in the deserts are just going to have a cow. They are going to feel completely inadequate. I think the Misty Desert would have worked. The whole Mines of Moria thing could easily have taken place in a sand dune.
