Wow

Am still absorbing the movie (and it doesn't help that I got about two hours sleep). I'm just too shattered by the experience to put into words what I feel, although I can say that Lord of the Rings, in its entirety (all three movies) is my favorite movie of all time, as Lord of the Rings is my favorite book.

Meanwhile, I have been reading a ton of reviews, and of all the ones I've perused, I like this one best, because it really sums up what the book--and the movie--mean for the individual human heart (warning: spoilers). Will sign on later with more of my own individual reaction, perhaps after I have talked to kijjohnson, who is seeing it today, and I've seen it again Friday night.

The dam breaks

( In which Peg proves the foolishness of the heart of flesh, probably due to lack of sleep. No spoilers, really, if you've read the books )
