Dave, that is ominous. Do you above all desire power? Did it come to you on your birthday? Is it precious to you?
Uh oh; it's not my birthday, but the box held laundry detergent and I *do* above all else desire power to remove stains...
Saw e2. For what it is, it was very good, and I appreciate that they are not trying to be something else. It's fun, there's a lot of action, dwarves are adorable, and whoever that guy on the raft is supposed to be, he is pretty hot.
He looks eerily like a younger, less-bearded Viggo Mortensen, I thought.
E2 had me asking questions about elf mortality that hadn't come up before, like can an elf drown, starve, or die of thirst? I think this must be covered by the "death in battle" clause and the answer is therefore yes, because the alternative is that an elf's body is aware of the intentions of the person inflicting wounds upon it, and only chooses to die if they're hostile. But I think Legolas on Caradhras also proves that an elf's body can take far more punishment than a human's, which maybe makes Galadriel's decision to swim back from the edge of Valinor merely reckless rather than suicidal.
