The Two Towers

Final thoughts:

After Sam reveals the existence of The Ring: such a touching moment between Sam and Faramir.

Honestly, the whole interaction with Faramir is more interesting and exciting in the book.

The Silmarillion was referenced once they were in Mordor. So there is some help in reading that first.

The fucking balls on Sam are bigger than he is as a whole.

The Two Towers

16h

Frodo, Sam, and Gollum’s journey to the south: Tolkien describes each flower they see on the way at length

Hobbits learning to cook before learning to read is absolutely darling to me.

The Two Towers

11h20m

Aragorn is getting as twitchy about his sword as if they wanted to borrow his fuckin dick.

Hell yeah, Eowyn is described as such a badass from the start.

When Gandalf saves the king from Wormtongue the scene gave me goosebumps. It was so beautiful and chilling.

I think Theoden’s first mistake was going Wormtongue? Yeah he seems like a trustworthy guy. How could I not trust a guy like Wormtongue?

There is nothing more healing to the soul than conversation between Merry and Pippin.

Musings and Thoughts (minor spoilers) for Stoner by John Williams

The professor in this reminds me of the professor Giamatti plays in The Holdovers (the one that inspires Stoner).

These parents have the emotional equivalency of goldfish. But good on them for letting their son pursue his degree.

"He saw the future itself as an instrument of change rather than its object."

Master's little speech is an absolute joy.

I'm really coming to adore Finch.

Omg, this sex scene is fucking comical.

I'm really glad William has Grace.

Overall, a bittersweet book that defied my expectations. Sad but beautiful. 4/5.

LOTR Fellowship of the Ring 5/5

Ch 9: The Great River

I like Boromir better in the movie. He's never happy in the book.

Ch 7: The Mirror of Galadriel

The whole destruction of the ring also meaning the destruction of Lothlorien makes things way heavier. There's a sort of value and beauty to having consequences even in a needed action.

Ch 6: Lothlorieh

Fuck them dwarves right?

I love Sam's tongue in cheek way of telling Merry to stfu.

Hey dude, we've been racist forever and we're not going to stop now. - Lothlorieh elf to Gimli

Ch 4: A Journey in the Dark

Cool little lore bit there -- that Gandalf used to know every spell in every language.

Ch 3: The Ring Goes South

Gimli is my boy, "Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens."

I loooove how much Took drives Gandalf crazy.

Book 2 Chapter 2: The Council of Elrond

My boy Boromir has entered the chat!

Ah nothing like some light elf "racism." -- "Their blood mingled with that of lesser men." and *that's* part of why the world is fucked up right?

Thank god they kept this part short and sweet in the movie. Fuck me having to hear a history I've mostly become acquainted with through the Silmarillion again.

Oh fun, time to play the game "remind yourself its Saurman not Sauron."

Ch 10: Strider

Why the fuck does Strider speak in the 3rd person now and then?
