B2MEM - A Bit Early But... :o) Going Home To Middle-earth.  
I went home today. Meaning: my brother and I sat down and watched The Two Towers this evening. I assume there's many who regard The Two Towers as their least favourite film of the triology, but I'm tempted to say it's my favourite (but that's really hard to decide since I love the movies all so much). I think it's because it's the most "human" film of the three. And because I love Rohan. And because that was the film when I realised that Merry & Pippin actually were pretty cool characters after all.

Also The Two Towers features possibly the most heartbreaking scene of all three films. I know there's loads of those, but to me Theoden breaking down at Theodred's grave crying might be the moment that touches me most in the whole triology. To see this once proud and strong king cry so helplessly over his son's death - to me it's the most powerful, most human moment. I'm so glad PJ included it to the film.

To something not completely but still different: I'm done with all "requested" sketches and I've already made proper drawings of Varda and Nienna. I hope I get to do the rest over the weekend as well.

Go with the good will of all good men. Night night.

Och, I daresay that TTT is on par with RotK when it comes to favourites :)

Diese Szene hat mir der Vater meiner besten Freundin total versaut - gerade als ich sagen wollte, dass ich das auch beim 20. Mal immer noch sehr bewegend finde, kam er mir zuvor uns sagte, dass Théoden ihn immer an Roger Whittaker erinnere... jetzt kann ich mir diese Szene natürlich nicht mehr ansehen, ohne an eben diesen zu denken. ;)
