I was looking forward to Tom Bombadil until they decided to leave him out. I'm still mad about that. Personally, I'm really looking forward to the Dead Marshes.

I am looking forward to seeing Shelob, Gandalf the White (I havn't seen the trailer yet) and the rescue of Frodo by Sam in Cirith Ungol. My favorite part of the book is when Sam finds Frodo in the tower- "Frodo, Mr. Frodo, my dear!", so I hope PJ does this scene well.

Well I really wanted to see the Scouring of the shire but that's been cut thankyou very much pj.
But i think the ending scene with the gray havens is going to make me cry buckets if he does it well. And sams lasts words in the book(i'm trying not to spoil the ending for people who havent finished yet). I can just imagine him saying them and then a bang like a book shutting at blackness until the credits come up. Its going to be so dramatic.

I am looking forward to Dec. 19th and 20th. I'm curious about how the flood of post-TTT review posts will go; The rants, the raves, the dilemmas of whether to moot or to go back to the theatres for an nth viewing.
I'm also looking forward to watching them back-to-back.

I don't know. When I got to work a few hrs ago there it was.
I also think FF and EG have the same one too. I am doing a poll on the GM forum to find out if anyone else did.

I want to see Treebeard and how the huorns will be portrayed.
I'm also looking forward to watching the FotR DVD in the peace and quiet of my own home - no interruptions. Every time I was at the theatre there was always someone coming or going - very distracting.

I almost forgot (and this is just wishful thinking), Rohirric Battle Songs! A verse after a slash or two, heheh.

You can ORDER your vids and DVDs now. For AUGUST. Weird, and a bit 'expecting demand to be that big'. Although it will be. I know that.
*Rushes off to the shops to order hers*. I am looking forward to the Dead Marshes. Elijah said it was his favourite bit to film. I'll probably get sad when I see all those dead elves. ' *Sobbing already* It nearly made me cry in the BOOK. What am I going to be like in the film???

The Lord of the Nazgul and what happens to him.
The Ents and Isengard. The Battle of Pelennor Fields. (I am being vague so I don't spoil it for the non-readers)

The exchange upon the plains of Rohan when Eomer and co. come upon Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas. A tense scene in the book and the dialogue between them is great! I hope they've kept that word-for-word
The Huorn assault at Helm's Deep should be awesome. and lastly....the scenes from and around "The Black Gate Opens'. Truly the most chilling and oppressive chapter in the entire work. The Mouth of Sauron better scare the shite out of me!

I probably am most looking forward to seeing Treebeard. Will he mention Entwives? Problee not. Also, the Battle of Helms Deep, the Window on the West, and BTW, we havn't gotten a real good look at Gollum yet, have we, preciousss?

Agree with Arathorn, I want to hear the Rohhirim sing as they slay.

ENTS!
The battle at Helm's Deep is one of my favorite parts of the trilogy. I'm not sure I can wait 8 months yet. |

I cant wait to see:
Treebeard and the Ents How Merry and Pippin get away from the Orcs. The Rohirrim Gandalf the Whites confrontation with Saruman Edoras on the INSIDE. Horns Deep and the Dike The Reunion at Isengard The Dead Marshes Frodo in the Dead Marshes (with the dirt on his face WOOOO HOOOO) Ithillien and the Oliphant The Window on the West Shelobs Lair Sam Saying goodbye to Frodo in the lair of Shelob and taking on the Ring(Oh heart breaking. It's gonna be a tear jerker) ROTK: Minas Tirith The battle infront of Mins Tirith The Death of Theoden But most of all I want to see the scenes in Mordor, Cirith Ungol,the Shire(there will be a Scouring I'm sure of it. Why in the HECK did Frodo see the Shire ruined in the Mirror if there is'nt gonna be a scouring?), The Grey Havens and the few scenes at the end of the movie. December come quickly! Sam
