My love is Extended

6 Comments

I just watched ROTK:EE and 😯 It’s better than I had ever dreamed. I thought I had spoiled myself enough to know everything that was added. So, SO WRONG. Some of the spoilers we saw were even labeled incorrectly. Whoo! I did capture all the shots of Boromir and most of the new Faramir scenes if anyone would want to see them. There is one particular shot of Eowyn that will leave you breathless because of her absolute beauty.

I was so afraid that I would feel “empty” when it was all said and done, but it’s more like a feeling of fulfillment. :clap:

Six degrees of STRETCH

4 Comments

A little background info: The high school where I work is the same one that Homer Hickam attended with my dad. Homer Hickam wrote Rocket Boys, which was later made into the movie October Sky. The student that I had carry my refrigerator to my room is the brother of one of the other Rocket Boys. (Yes, the student is 17 while his older brother is 61. Don’t ask).

Here’s the stretch: I know the brother of one of the Rocket Boys. The Rocket Boys were on the set of October Sky with Jake Gyllenhaal. Jake starred in The Day After Tomorrow with Ian Holm. Ian Holm starred in LOTR with Sean Bean.

There you have it. My destiny.

This is it!

Pardon me while I watch my ROTK:EE dl at a whopping 12kbps. 😥 The ONE thing I’ve been waiting for and it’s this slow. 😥 I know it will pick up speed as I go, but only 12? 😥
