| | I'm sitting here listening to my mother and sisters complain about my dad's side of the family which they rarely have any interaction with anymore. They're accusing the Grabers of thinking "if you don't dress like they do and live like they do, well then you're just not living right."
Irony is not dead.
I'm hoping I don't grow up to be old and cynical. Not looking very good at this point...
As promised, I picked up the "Two Towers" extended edition and have been slowly digesting it while I've been on vacation. While there were some obviously extraneous scenes, there were a few that did go a long way toward fleshing out the story.
I was particularly partial to the extended scene in Ithillien where Faramir takes the hobbits captive. They extended the scene to give Faramir the dialogue that belongs to Sam in the books musing over the dead Southron that's been shot off the oliphaunt and fallen at their feet. (Of course, this is partially personal preferrence since I wrote a poem called "The Southron" that fit in very well with that paragraph, somewhat unwittingly since I had forgotten about it when I was writing, but later found it again. When I saw that they had added it into the extended edition, it was all I could do to stop myself from bouncing up and down gong "ee! ee!")
It's also interesting to note that PJ's Southrons are light-skinned.
