      ROTK really pushes the buttons doesn't it? Hell I bawled when I was reading the book, especially when:

      Sam: [Both are overcome by exhaustion] Do you remember the Shire, Mr. Frodo? It'll be spring soon. And the orchards will be in blossom. And the birds will be nesting in the hazel thicket. And they'll be sowing the summer barley in the lower fields... and eating the first of the strawberries with cream. Do you remember the taste of strawberries?

      Frodo: No, Sam. I can't recall the taste of food... nor the sound of water... nor the touch of grass. I'm... naked in the dark, with nothing, no veil... between me... and the wheel of fire! I can see him... with my waking eyes!

      Sam: Then let us be rid of it... once and for all! Come on, Mr. Frodo. I can't carry it for you... but I can carry you!



      Second time I watched ROTK in the theater, I sat next to a woman and handed her some Kleenex, "You'll be needing these."

      She tearfully thanked me as we all got up to leave. LOL
      The scene that gets me is them sailing off and following Sam home.

        The book has a long denouement as well...and they even excised a big part of it for the film.

            Now as far as the LOTR triology movies. I rank them in this order:

            1. Twin Towers
            2. The 1st one
            3. Return of the King

            I suppose I like Twin Towers the most because it was more action in it. Where as Return of The King seemed to drag on longer then it should have.

              Two Towers () is also my favorite because you get to see Gollum/Smeagol develop a little bit, seeing that there is something more to him. And the Helm's Deep battle is just sweet.

                  For Harry Potter, it's probably cause of how many movies there are, so it's like 8 movies of things that all connect to each other. Though even when it was its "early years" of movies, I still replayed watching them quite abit lol.



                  Is also another reason to watch all the movies.

                  I've been meaning to watch all movies during holidays, but things keep coming up in the evening/night that make me busy lol. I started watching first few after Christmas, but since then, I haven't watched any.

                          If you're having trouble towards the end just put on some really bright hot lights and crawl around as if you're in a desert. The liquids will be like nirvana to you.

                            I wish the LotR trilogy would have included the Scouring of the Shire at the end.

                            It wraps up that loose end pretty well, to be honest. I was sad when it wasn't even in the extended edition. They did wrap up the Saruman/Wormtongue thing in the extended edition in a somewhat similar manner... but it was a deviation.

                                I'll probably eat a salmon or tilapia filet every few days to avoid complete protein depravation.
