Speaking of Lord of the Rings, I was in an MSN conversation a while back with [livejournal.com profile] nyalko80 and [livejournal.com profile] therealycats casually talking about various films.

A confession: I've never read the Lord of the Rings books.

*Shock! Horror!*

I just couldn't get into them. I tried, seriously, I did, but the prose style? Not for me. I mean, I recognise that they're very well-written, they have great attention to detail-- but I put the first book down halfway through, and never picked it up again, which is rare for me.

Anyhoo, I did love and appreciate the films. I loved Jackson's dark take on them, and was determined that, no matter what, I would see all of them and Avoid Spoilers at All Costs.

That was until my two friends said something like "oh boy, I can't wait for the third instalment, and to see how they do the bit where [Insert spoiler about Gollum's fate here].

Becky: AIEEEEE! No! You didn't just reveal to me the ending which I had up to this point known absolutely nothing about!

[livejournal.com profile] nyalko80 Um... you haven't read it?

Becky: NO! =:-o

[livejournal.com profile] therealycats Oh.

[livejournal.com profile] nyalko80 Erm...er...well, maybe we knew that, and we were making it up! You don't know for sure if that happens to Gollum.

Becky: *Cries* It so does! You're lying-- I can see it in your smiley's eyes.

Cute RotK. That bit with Gollum happens. Wow, I think, okay, so the second part of it happened, but at least he didn't do that chomping thing. Ha! In your face, spoiler gits.

And then it did happen. Pah!

*crushes their heads a la Lenny*

See! He likes me best! My icon strokes her breasts. Do YOUR icons do that? :p

[identity profile] rebness.livejournal.com 2004-01-12 07:32 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm... no... but if Johnny/Louis had breasts, that would be the end of my love affair with them. :p

Hmmm, I don't think it was Stacy in that convo! I think it may have been Becksy or something. Or maybe KT? Or Joel? I don't remember who it was.

You have altered your Fraggle icon.

The "fuckin' 80s style" thing tickles me...

[identity profile] nyalko80.livejournal.com 2004-01-12 08:25 am (UTC)(link)
Yep! I was watching Jay and Silent Bob Strike back, and before they cound finish the Fuck Fuck song, I was all over the "Fuckin' 80's Style" thing and felt Red needed a little change.

Red's so cool!

[identity profile] nyalko80.livejournal.com 2004-01-12 08:28 am (UTC)(link)
Have you seen that movie? It's at the very beginning, and it's the catchiest damn thing ever. Makes me happy for some odd reason. And little kids saying 'fuck' is just hilarious.

And close.

[identity profile] therealycats.livejournal.com 2004-01-12 08:29 am (UTC)(link)
I've never seen it. I've heard mixed reviews about it.

Close? Huh?

[identity profile] nyalko80.livejournal.com 2004-01-12 08:30 am (UTC)(link)
It's not a fine piece of cinematography or anything like that, but it has it's moments where you just can't stop laughing. And the Fuck song is one of 'em. I sing it when I'm angry and it cheers me up immediately.

And close is a long story! That's what my sisters say when they've said something incredibly stupid or pointless.

Twat. Which, by the way, rhymes with hot.

[identity profile] rebness.livejournal.com 2004-01-12 08:23 am (UTC)(link)
Apart from the bit where it rhymes with "hat". And also the bit where there is a place in Scotland called "Twatt" and pronounced "twAt" that pre-dates European settlers arriving in America. :p

[identity profile] therealycats.livejournal.com 2004-01-12 08:24 am (UTC)(link)
You capitalize an "A" and expect me to know whether that sounds like "ay", "ah", or "-a-"?

[identity profile] rebness.livejournal.com 2004-01-12 08:26 am (UTC)(link)
You know what I mean! LOL!

Twat as in hat/cat/that...

[identity profile] therealycats.livejournal.com 2004-01-12 08:28 am (UTC)(link)
Ok. Well, Twatt, obviously, ends with a double consonant, so the a the double t follows would have to be short. Twat, on the other hand, has no such ending. Ha!

Don't make me make more recordings, Becky! LOL

Did you listen to those, btw? KT had me laughing so hard that tears were rolling down my face.

[identity profile] rebness.livejournal.com 2004-01-12 08:28 am (UTC)(link)
Hee... unfortunately, I haven't got sound on this here computer... may try it tomorrow on the one with speakers...lol. I know how you speak, anyway. And Stacy. And Kelly. :p

[identity profile] nyalko80.livejournal.com 2004-01-12 08:32 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but the actual discussions are hilarious! KT goes all ghetto on us, and just hearing her say "twat" may be the funniest thing ever. I just picture her beautiful little angelic face and it just doesn't seem right.

Plus, Kelly has a few things in there that are priceless. I saved them all on my computer just in case I need a pick me up. haha

[identity profile] rebness.livejournal.com 2004-01-12 08:37 am (UTC)(link)
LOL! I wonder if I could make a recording...hmm...

[identity profile] nyalko80.livejournal.com 2004-01-12 08:38 am (UTC)(link)
You definately should!

OMG, Becky, we're screwing up your LJ comments like all hell today. Complete pandemonium.

Well obviously...but eyeliner is hot.

[identity profile] therealycats.livejournal.com 2004-01-12 08:12 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. Eyeliner on Johnny is hot. Johnny is just hot. Anything he wants to do is hot. WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
