All right Two Towers rewatch let's go

I can never say enough times how much I love this score.

Also I love this mini flashback introduction, it's such a great way to bring Gandalf back in our minds

Every time Frodo says 'my dear Sam' my heart soars at how gay this franchise is

I think I'm very funny

You know Gollum does look like a digital creation, there's no avoiding that but he still looks amazing

Merry and Pippin captured by the Orcs always breaks my heart

Fun facts

The meme the myth the legend

Hey thank you Lord of the Rings for introducing us to Karl Urban. I know he was on Xena warrior Princess but I didn't watch that so this was my introduction

Legolas defending his boyfriend from the Rohirrim is very good

I LOVE ENTS

I had to pause the movie for a bit but now we're back.
And did you know that when Gollum stops them from racing towards the black gates, Andy Serkis accidentally ripped off Sean Astin's wig?

I just think this one Legolas bit is so funny for some reason

Aragorn It's just a horse girl and I love that about him

Watching that scene makes me want to revisit Hidalgo

Saruman and Wormtongue are just an unhappily married couple

Aw hell yeah it's time for wargs! Worgs? Orcs riding doggos. It's dangerous to add such an extended action sequence to such an over full story but I really like what it does separating Aragorn from the team and highlighting how much everybody cares about each other in the process

Oh whoops first we have the big gollum scene.

I'm extremely normal.
Also I can't imitate Gollum for shit

Faramir just rocks up to these two gay babies like howdy strangers war sure is hell huh?

Listen it's stupid as shit but I love gimli's dwarf women spiel

Aw hell yeah Warg time. I fucking love this sequence

I feel like we all make so much fun of Orlando Bloom's acting in LOTR. But I really like how he portrays Legolas's grief in moments like when they think Aragorn died

Also the Rohirrim theme slaps

Honestly when Elrond goes on his whole speech telling Arwen about her appendices future stuff I'm like...listen I love the love story but Arwen no dick is that good

Can you imagine only watching the theatrical cut of the two towers and just thinking Faramir is a dick without seeing that whole flash back with him and boromirr and his awful dad? I love Faramir a lot. The extended cuts of two towers and return of the king do a lot more for him

Legolas and Aragorn reuniting is so good. The clasp each other lovinglt on the shoulders and Legolas says 'you look terrible'

How come nobody from Rohan was invited to the council of Elrond? That seems like a big...uh...oversight?

Legolas who taught you manners??? The scene where they're just standing in a room full of scared people about to go do a battle and he's just like man they all look scared and they're going to die. Read the room son!

I do love that the whole bit with the orcs beating their staffs on the ground was inspired by the stunt actors doing a haka to pass the time and fuck with the elf extras

When you think about it gimli and legolas's count is a bit ghoulish but I do still find it very funny

Whoop there goes the orc with the Olympic torch

I keep forgetting to properly add posts to this thread. Anyway this is probably one of my favorite pieces of score in the entire trilogy.
It's also one in the morning and it's very hard to hum high pitches quietly

I once tried to play a Lord of the Rings video game based around the two towers and all I remember was that Frodo kept wandering off and getting killed by nazgul

The ent song is literally so good they play it a second time when aragorn gets theoden revved up. And it works both times

I do love that orc and who clipped through one of the horses. I call him clippy

I mean...yeah

There is no heterosexual explanation for the line "It's your Sam"

Sam's speech is good y'all. It's so good

I LOVE the visual callback when Pippin finds that apple floating in the water at eisengard and looks up just like he did in the first movie when Aragon hit him on the head with an apple

SAMWISE THE BRAVE

Welp it's been fun. I'm going to chill and listen to the Gollum song by Emilíana Torrini, it's a great credit song
