[neverwhere]

There are no words.

There truly are no words to adequately describe this experience.

This film is as close to perfection as it is possible to be.

I'm still wearing my Trilogy Tuesday commerative badge. I don't feel like taking it off. I keep looking at it, stroking it, like it's my own One Ring, even though it's just a laminated piece of paper on a long black string. I cried six times during the film, and I've been sobbing continually from about 20 minutes from the film's end till now. And I don't know when I'm going to stop.

I just can't believe it's over.

*huggles tight*
I'm really looking forward to it, even though I know this one's going to be a choker.
Any idea what day todays recording will be shown on? I want to have the tape ready to capture you and your precious :) *snugs*

Ooh, and yus! my journal may be funny coloured, That just makes it easier for my wonky brain to read :)

[angelislington.livejournal.com]

I'm assuming since sunday's taping aired on monday, tonight's will air on thursday.

You are indeed very wonky. But so cute too. :)

*DIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*

I started crying when the commercials came on and everyone clapped. I stopped though, during the movie. But only to do various things like *gasp!!!*, stare blankly, wipe tears, *whimper*, *squize friends hand* and such.

*squishes Nevvie* there's always the extended DVD. But an era in our lives is over *sniffles*

[angelislington.livejournal.com]

I started wailing when Pippin said 'We'll see each other again, won't we Merry?' (Ohgodstillchokedup. SNIFF.) And I didn't stop for the entire film.

Yes, there's always the dvd. But the Journey is truly over.

Sigh.

I'm pretty sad too and I haven't even seen it yet (I'm catching the first afternoon showing as opposed to the midnight) ^^; I told my best friend she might not want to sit by me because I'll cry.

I told my boyfriend I'm thrilled to see the movie...but..my obsession of three years is ending. What'll I do now? This is the kind of love that I cannot transfer to Harry Potter, no matter how much I like it lol

((hugs Nevvie))

[angelislington.livejournal.com]

There's nothing to take it's place, that's for sure. I suppose we'll just have to stop being such obsessive people...oh, who am I kidding. Like that'll ever happen. ;-)

Gah. Still so veryvery sad. And yet so happy too. That's the way the very best things in life should make you feel.

*hugs, gives ice cream, comforts, waits*

I'm seeing the movie at 7pm tonight, and I can't wait! I've been so worried because I've been reading so much bad stuff from bad people who obviously don't appreciate the trilogy, but your post has given me hope! *sobs* Want to see ROTK! *clings*

[angelislington.livejournal.com]

Don't worry, I promise it will surprise and amaze you, and take away every fear and doubt in your mind. There's never been a film like it, and probably never will be again.

[ellen-drell.livejournal.com]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGh!!!! You're SO RIGHT!!! IT WAS AMAZING!!

*breathes and paces*

I can't believe it. That was the best movie ever. o_o

*goes to see it again tomorrow night*

[ashfae.livejournal.com]

How can you say that when THEY COMPLETELY FUCKING LEFT OUT FARAMIR/EOWYN?!?!?!?!?!!??!?!

Won't forgive them for that unless it's on the DVD.

But oh god, so much Merry and Pippin goodness, and Pippin singing!

[angelislington.livejournal.com]

It's on the dvd. THANK GOD.

As a cinematic experience, regardless of what I feel is missing from the books, I thought it was sheer perfection. The right amount of humour mixed with pathos and non-gratuitous, extremely exciting action. And I never felt like I was being manipulated to cry, it just came so naturally because of the deep emotional attachment PJ helped me feel towards all the characters. Especially Pippin. :)

[ashfae.livejournal.com]

Only for that will I forgive them. But not until I have it! Ah well, I needed a reason to look forward to next November anyway...next December will just be empty without another LotR segment to anticipate!

And hmm...I can't say I thought it was sheer perfection. But I really feel I need to see it a few more times before I make up my mind fully. Clearly. ;)

This film is as close to perfection as it is possible to be.

took the words right out of my mouth. i can't believe it's over either... but we have months of watching and spending ridiculous amounts of money on movie theaters, and the extended edition to look forward to.

truly, there are no words.

[angelislington.livejournal.com]

I saw FOTR 34 times in the cinema. I hope to top it for ROTK. :)

I'm still so sad.

[illiterate.livejournal.com]

I agree completely and have not yet taken off the Elvish necklace I wore last night. -weeps-

[angelislington.livejournal.com]

I cried for almost an hour today. TODAY.

I'm so pathetic. AND I DON'T CARE. :)

[marp2003.livejournal.com]

That. movie. is. awesome. I was freezing my butt off in the theatre for 3 and 1/2 hours, but it was alllllll worth it.

I can't believe it's over.... :(

Well, there is at least the extended version to look forward to....

*squish*

I'm going to have to tease you a little, Nev...

[mamaslyth.livejournal.com]

It's just when I read all these overwhelming descriptions, I can't help but remember back before the first movie came out when someone told me that LOTR was a dull piece of fiction ;)

[myf.livejournal.com]

*hugs*

Is jealous beyond words.

*runs away to pout*

*runs back to hug nevvie again*

[angelislington.livejournal.com]

Hee.

I know you love me really. :-P

*pounceglomp!*

[burningtoast.livejournal.com]

*applauds review* Wasn't it beautiful? I can't believe it's over either - I don't know what I will do with myself now. This was more than a film - they are all more than films - they are experiences that will be remembered for the rest of our lives. I didn't want the film to end, I didn't want to walk out into the cruel, ordinary world. I cried for at least the last 45 minutes of the film, tears of sadness, joy... and it all went by so quickly. I cannot praise Peter Jackson enough for this gift.

[angelislington.livejournal.com]

>they are all more than films - they are experiences that will be remembered for the rest of our lives

I could not possibly agree with you more. I know I will never forget how I felt the first time I saw ROTK. Ever.

[queeniefox.livejournal.com]

I sobbed through the credits. And they are long credits! It's been an hour now and I don't want to be in the real world yet. I can't think straight.
