annathepiper0. Bah. No viewing of Two Towers: Special Edition on the big screen for me. Stupid not having any monex!
1. Probably going to have to wait till next week to try to score a viewing of Return of the King.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
solarbird and I might make with a viewing on Christmas or Christmas Eve.
2. I had a total Tolkiengeek moment as I saw a trailer on TV, glimpsed the white tree on Aragorn's armor, and realized what it must represent: the White Tree of Gondor, who was as I recall descended from the Two Trees in Valinor. I'm not remembering names, but I was nevertheless simultaneously pleased that that little detail was in there and that the film does in fact refer to all that lovely backstory if you know where to look... and amused that I'm geek enough to have caught that little detail.
