Just got back from seeing Return of the King. Never NEVER has a movie affected me the way this one has and never have I cried so much during one film. I am exhausted! Utter utter brilliance. If Peter Jackson does not get Best Picture AND Best Director for it than somebody really ought to just carpet bomb Hollywood.

Highlights: Gandalf coming to rescue Faramir and his men as they flee the nazgul. His white light, the music, the nazgul bowling down horse and rider. I could scarcely breath...and of course I cried!

The charge of heavy cavalry and mass destruction of horse and elephant.

The eagles!

Minis Tirith ~ breathtaking.

Vile Gollum ~ no more pity for him!

Sam and Frodo on Mount Doom after he destroys the ring. (crying again!)

Gandalf and the eagles carrying them home....what do you know, tears!

Pipins' song as Faramir rides to his doom. Sob!

Fuck it ~ the entire movie! Loved it, loved it, LOVED IT!

*sniff* Tito hand me a tissue!
