Don't we all wish something more fun?

But it takes a lot of work to change your stars.
No guts, no glory. One of my favorite proverbs lately.

I've always wanted to take part in a massed cavalry charge. I imagine it would be such a rush.

"Spear shall be shaken, shield shall be splintered! A sword day! A red day! Ere the sun rises!"

Let's face it, the charge of the Rohirrim was easily the maddest scene of all the movies. Don't get me wrong, the breaking of the Fellowship, Helm's Deep and the Black Gates were all great, but the Pelennor Fields was just another thing entirely.

Me too. My favorite scene ever.
I can stand still while I watch it.

Black gates are also amazing. The moment when Aragorn turns around and rushes into the mob. Spectacular.

Yep, and the Extended Edition Breaking of the Fellowship. Boromir cleaving through Uruks and Aragorn just brawling his way through the forest.

I love those movies. Almost ten years on and I still watch them all the time.

Its an ageless story combined with amazing cinematics and a damned awesome cast. I mean Viggo Mortensen IS Aragorn. No one could do it better.

I can't help myself, but I always get a little teary at the Pelennor Fields. ITS TOO DAMNED COOL!

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

Agreed. I still get goose bumps and well up at the eyes every time I watch that moment. From Theoden's first look at the enemy, his speech, DEATH!, the sounding of the horns, the sunrise, the charge, Eomer's warcry, !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As for games, I can get very pissed when I lose Total War battles; like Hitler pounding the desk pissed. :P

Nein, nein, nein, nein!

Just kidding, TW's good. M&B's better. But only cause I have to say that. I'm a Heteriarch and have a reputation to uphold.

@CG: Give it to us, raw and wriggling. You keep nasty Despotes. ;)

You WHAT?

...

PG, make her see the films. Also, keep her strapped into a chair while this occurs because I suspect they will blow her mind completely given her reaction to M&B. :P
