Chamber of Secrets is even better the second time round! Even if my rear end is now protesting about being sat on for three hours. ^-^ Seriously, even the little things that bothered me last time seemed to fit perfectly this time - plus I kept noticing beautiful little touches like the bottle of skelegro actually being shaped like a skeleton and the snake head on top of Lucius Malfoy's walking stick. Fantastic.

Only - there is an extra scene at the end of the credits isn't there? While after I spent a few minutes persuading my friend to stay and wait for it, then the curtains closed halfway through the credits! Evil cinema staff - don't you appreciate that some people actually want to see these little extras?!!!

What really had me drooling though was the latest Two Towers trailer which was on before the film - it was so long I was pratically salivating. It looks *incredible*! At the end I was ready to fly to New Zealand and beg Peter Jackson in person to let me see the film. The only thing that irritated me - actually two things - was the fact you only once saw Treebeard and that was only his legs and the amount of times Arwen was shown - she wasn't even *supposed* to be in the second film, never mind take it over!! Aragorn looks absolutely superb though - *tries to psychically influence Aragorn to choose Eowyn over Arwen* Yeah! Go Eowyn!

I so want some new Potter icons. So I'll go find some good pictures. ^-^

*throws arms around Clo* I love Eowyn too! Doesn't she just rock? And major, major UGH to Arwen! Maybe we should redo the movie ourselves where Aragorn SO chooses Eowyn over Arwen, but not before majorly humiliating the oh-so-annoying elf? *giggles*

And oh yeah, those little things totally make CoS even more wonderful than it is! Still haven't seen it the second time yet, but I can't wait!

Yeah!

* hugs falln back* Eowyn totally rocks - she kicks major bad guy butt! Arwen'd probably break a nail and burst into tears if she tried to face the Nazgul. I was devastated when I read the book and Aragorn didn't go for Eowyn - how could he chose the prissy elf over fighting-princess Eowyn?!

We should REALLY redo the movie ourselves and have Eowyn get Aragorn, and what would be the most humiliating thing to do to miss-look-at-me-she-elf...... anyone have lots of cream cakes? Ten points if you hit her stomach, fifty if you get her right on the nose..... *takes aim*

When you see CoS again see if there is a scene at the end and if it's worth waiting for - if there is I'll have to go yell at the staff in my local cinema till they let me see it. ^-^

Oh! Maybe painting miss I'm-pukeworthily-perfect's nails last season's colour? Or making her having to walk around with morning hair ALL the time? Still, I like the cream cake idea! LOL (and don't think I don't know where you got that from, little missy!). Ooh! How about mud? Mud is free. All we need is some dirt and water. I've got TONS of that!

Of course I'll let you know about that end scene. People have said that it's good. ARGH! I'm just waiting for my friend to come up for the holidays before I can see it again, and it seems like it's taking forever.

Oh! Mud! Now that sounds like fun. *grins* Mud and morning hair. She won't know what's hit her.

Hope your friend comes back soon - Potter 2 is worth seeing as many times as possible. I can't wait to get the DVD. ^-^

*sighs* Yeah I know I'm late, but I've been offline for a week! Just had to ask if I can join in (I reread a few parts of the books and as much as I like Liv, she did suck as Arwen and yeah, Eowyn totally kicks ass.

As for the extra scene at the end of CoS, it's just a little one, not excessively good (like the scene at the end of A Knight's Tale), but definately worth a giggle.

*giggles* Oh yeah!

CoS DVD! I am so not even bothering going to sleep the night before it's released! I'm gonna camp out at the nearest place that stocks them!
