Tir Na Nog and Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers

Tir Na Nog and Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers

Me, Geo and Paul went to some Irish Pub in the city that's called "Tir Na Nog" which is Gaelic for "woody inside and not dingy or ghetto at all." Paul said that's how they should decribe it... in Zagat's maybe? But I guess it's to everyone's benefit that I don't write for them. MPip was supposed to meet us there but he's a Big Fat Serbo-Croatian Flake. He laid the groundwork for his excuse prior to not showing, by saying something about window installation and big gaping holes in his house. He said he needed to guard against thievery, you know... the family jewels and all that. I understand completely, since marauding pirates are always hassling me, looking for jewel-encrusted goblets and all that. Okay Mpip just e-mailed and said he missed it because he forgot so for the next month I get to refer to him officially as the Big Fat Serbo-Croatian Flake AND me and Paul get a free round (or two). Mpip's reason for his forgetfulness was that he started drinking at 3pm on a Wednesday, so I ca't really be angry because I'm too impressed. I swear, ever since the dissolution of Yugoslavia these guys will drink at the drop of a hat.

So the BFS-CF missed a good burger and many drinks at the Irish pub, but worst of all he missed Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. When it became apparent that the BFS-CF wasn't going to show (this was fairly late since we were inebriated) we high-tailed it over to Secaucus and caught the 10:15 showing of the most highly-anticipated movie since Attack Of The Clones. All I can say is it was so good!!!!! I didn't even notice how long it was, I thought it was like an hour-and-a-half but Paul and Geo looked a little like zombies when we emerged.

Some brief thoughts on the movie (no spoilers):

1. Holy Mother of Christ, Legolas is hot. Let me enlist for the next Middle Earth War.
2. I really like the Hobbitts. When I first saw the first movie they kind of annoyed me but the more times I saw it and now with this second movie, I really like them. Especially Merry and Pip. By the way, I know Sam liked Rosie so he's at least bi but is Frodo gay? Just wondering.
3. Those soldier elves are pretty bad ass... they're casting aside their immortality aren't they? Or risking it I suppose.
4. How come Celeborn makes an appearance in this film but not Galadriel? What is she doing?
5. Can someone who read the books tell me who the ugly blonde chic that Aragorn seems to dig at the end is supposed to be? I read the books when I was like 8 so I don't remember anything about it. Please don't tell me Aragorn ends up with her and Arwen dies because I think that would just ruin the entire series for me. Let me just save time and effort and spare you all a lecure about men and fickle hearts. Arwen gave up her immortality for you and you're busy hooking up with some ugly blonde slut you just met?? Okay don't get me started.
6. Golem is cute in a weird-little-dog way isn't he?
7. This movie is awesome. I want to go see it again in case I missed anything (you know, due to the drunkenness and all that).>
