(no subject)

OHH MY GAWD. I finally got my hands on the extended LOTR DVDs. And however unbelievable it may seem to anyone interested, I had never seen them before. I mean all the appendices and stuff. I only saw the extended versions of the movies themselves, but probably just once, when my sister first bought them a long time ago. And certainly I didn't remember some of the finest Aragorn moments.;) As for the additional footage, I had no slightest idea it was that amazing (or I would have done something to get it sooner, lol). So now it all killed me ten times over. I'm dead. I'm in heaven. All the headbutting, rugbytackling, toe-breaking, tooth-breaking, sword-brandishing and hair-tossing just did me in.;) Not to mention the silly antics with Bernard Hill. Or the gracious comments on Dom's theory about Viggo's attraction to bearded women.;) (or to his horse, for that matter) Or the seemingly innocent (hehe:))) remark about Orlando's "flawless elven complexion". Or the priceless heroic moment in The Two Towers when he manages not to spit out Eowyn's stew. Or... Well, I could go on. And on. And on. But suffice it to say that I adore the man to pieces. Hell, I adore everyone in those movies. But if anyone had told me three years ago that I would become this obsessed, I wouldn't have believed it. And if they had told me I would be avidly reading Aragorn/Legolas or Viggo/Orlando slash every day, I would have laughed and said they had lost their mind. But I guess that's life. Things happen to people.;)) And every once in a while I somehow manage to surprise myself (which is to put it very mildly in this case, as some people would know). Oh well... saves me from the inevitable boredom of predictability, I guess...
