So, to mark Tolkien's birthday, we went to see The Two Towers, and it was good. Full review coming soonish. I liked the fact they kept more of the spirit of the books in this episode - I found the first tended to avoid the spirit in favour of the words, which they occasionally cut.
Oh, and the Elvish was wonderful, natch :-)

“Ohhhhh “ David said as we walked out of the theatre. “So that’s what they did with all those military commands I gave them.”
We thought they only got used in the FotR prologue. How wrong we were. :)
Castellan:
So here I am at work bored out of my skull as the illiterati of The Northern Town That Must Not Be Named return their Xmas presents for refunds when I decide to read Aquarionics.
And then it hits me, Dorothea Salo as in David as in rec.arts.books.tolkien, reads and posts to Aq’s blog. Good grief man do you realise how cool1 that is?!!
