Tonight
Since I'm done with finals and my jury, I'm watching Return of the King tonight. Anyone who wants to join me is welcome to do so.

	Holy crap, when Aragorn starts lighting the torch things, Howard Shore's score is like... oh my god I want to just die it's so amazing, right? Uh, I'm not really fluent in the lingo of LotR. So I'm probably going to make an ass of myself. Sorry in advance. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

I agree, the Beacons is an amazing moment, but it's Pippin who lights them. The use of that leitmotif, though? Flawless. You hear it throughout the entire series, not knowing what it's going to mean, and it leads up to that astounding moment with the heroic fanfare. That was one of the strongest additions to the film versions. In the books, Gandalf and Pippin just see the Beacons as they ride to Minas Tirith.

Don't worry, I'm very well-versed. I'll keep you informed.

	Oh yeah hobbit boy. Yeah, okay, yeah, I remember. That's cool. And uh, wow, you know a lot about music. Okay, so right. I feel stupid now. And thanks, hahe. (Reply to this)(Parent)
