Speaking of Lord of the Rings, I was in an MSN conversation a while back with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nyalko80 and 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!
nyalko80 Um... you haven't read it?
Becky: NO! =:-o
therealycats Oh.
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*

I kept getting logged out.
Anyway, yes, I am somewhat. But I'm kind of weirded out by how neat they are and how well placed. *peeks again*
