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. ^-^

Yeah!
Date: 2002-12-08 01:08 pm (UTC)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. ^-^

Date: 2002-12-11 03:44 am (UTC)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!
