Yea! *does the dance of gay pirate joy* I'm home! The thirteen hour airline marathon from Hell (Cork to Manchester, Manchester to Heathrow, Heathrow to BWI in Baltimore) is over.
I sort of miss Ireland already, though.
Since my last entry, I've been to Dublin, seen the book of Kells (which is just as gorgeous as everyone says) and, most importantly of all, of course, seen ROTK.
Okay, first off, the elephants were fucking huge. They were like mutant mammoths or something. Which isn't to say that I didn't find Legolas's "I am the God of Bad Ass-ness, behold my shiny hair" take down of one of them really cool ("That still only counts as one!").
The army of the dead was neat, if a little, um , green, though after PotC I was sort of expecting ambulatory skeletons. The battle sequences rocked, especially the two different varieties of catapult they showed during the seige.
Eowyn was every bit as awesome as I could have hoped for, and Faramir was so cute that I just wanted to give him a hug.
And Sam and Frodo's gayness quotient was off the charts. I swear to God, I honestly thought Frodo was going to kiss him there at the end, and was sort of disappointed when he didn't. They were some major Merry & Pippin moments as well, and a few more manly shoulder clasps of lurve between Aragorn and Legolas.
My favourite bit: The sequence where all of the beacon fires were lit. And, ah, the part where Gandolf thwaps the Steward of Gondor upside the head with his staff.
My least favourite bit: The spider. Jesus Fucking Christ that spider was horrible. It moved just like one of the real things.
Now I'm going off to get Mexican food, something they didn't have in Cork.
