Sunday at home, nothing to do, no urgent jobs to chase up — bliss.
We finally got to see Lord of the Rings: the Two Towers this evening. Been putting it off for weeks in order to try and use the two “Gold Pass” tickets that Joey scored from work, the only sessions that they seem to have available are 9.30 pm during the week — hardly viable for a more than three hour movie! Down to the Jam Factory to see it in an ordinary session at an ordinary time — but with an extraordinary amount of rubbish on the floors. It appears that they’ve given up on cleaning the cinemas between shows — we were ankle deep in half-chewed pop-corn, drink cups and plastic wrappers…
What can I say about the movie that hasn’t already been said in reviews? I enjoyed it, found Gollum to be memorable, found the Ents to be a little disappointing … Lots of chasing, lots of battles, lots of swords and armour, and the ubiquitous Hollywood necessity of the light-hearted character — provided by Gimli and the non-stop dwarf in-jokes and “short” references.
