Lord of the Rings

I managed to get first time lucky on this one:
I've been watching the TT DVD - now the Faramir bits make sense! I'm happy now - we have elven rope, trees at Helm's Deep (so they didn't just miraculously win then? I was wondering), Merry and Pippin eating and smoking at Isengard. And Aragorn opening the doors but that was in there already
Then there are the extras, which include nice shots of Orlando Bloom as he is without all the make-up... Excuse me there, I seem to have slipped and fallen into a puddle of my own drool.
The coolest part was the fighting documentary where they said that the person in charge did Princess Bride, Zorro, did Darth Vader's sword fight against Obi-Wan and was Errol Flynn's stunt double. In fact, all the fencing films! Which explains a lot, frankly. Although I did notice that every time anyone got an orc at Helm's Deep it was because said orc had lifted their sword miles above their head. Stupid orcs.
On an entirely different note, I think one of the LEDs has gone on my modem - I'm sure it used to be brighter. And I hate XP. It's so nice and helpful it takes me twice as long to do anything. Thanks Microsoft for treating everyone like idiots.
Oh yeah, this weeks LOTR drabble - The Sword. 0 guesses what it's about.
