I guess I should see it!<br /><br />I feel like it was just a really great coincidence, but I totally would have been like that too. Cool things like that just make me so happy!<br /><br />Ha, you even beat me, and I had a day head start!

Okay, but I actually re-read the book again after writing this post and before seeing the movie, so I knew who Sean was playing and that scene was exactly the same in the book. So I had a nice laugh and fangirl moment then, and then was very very happy when they included it in the movie too. :D Ugh, people just don't understand the neatness of that moment! My theater was even with the reactions, but seriously, Sean Bean's bit was the best. <br /><br />Awesome, I hope you love it! And are you going to review the movie?Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08901639281043602191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7076471470585210140.post-87272826312330654952015-10-03T16:03:41.119-04:002015-10-03T16:03:41.119-04:00I saw it this morning, and really dug it. Especia...I saw it this morning, and really dug it. Especially Matt Damon, who i adore anyway.<br /><br />Did you bust up over the Council of Elrond thing? Because I laughed aloud quite merrily and loudly there, with Sean Bean sitting at the table looking sorta smirky, and no one else in my theater laughed there at all. Then they laughed at Jeff Daniels' Glorfindel line. Sigh.<br /><br />I really want to read the book!

There's one or two really good spots... ;) Everybody's really good, but really you have to watch it for Matt Damon more than everyone else, ya know? It's awesome, btw, so see it! And read the book, cause it's even more awesome than the movie!! :DSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08901639281043602191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7076471470585210140.post-58939451488878728222015-10-01T19:13:53.807-04:002015-10-01T19:13:53.807-04:00Wait...

If it's anything like the book, it absolutely will be. And Matt Damon is awesome! And a perfect choice to play this character. I can't wait to see it all play out on screen! :DSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08901639281043602191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7076471470585210140.post-51375880115023549802015-09-26T23:21:30.511-04:002015-09-26T23:21:30.511-04:00Do!

But then I watched the trailer and now I'm looking forward to it. It looks like it could be really great, and Matt Damon is awesome. I didn't know it's based on a book, that's cool. :)SW https://www.blogger.com/profile/14687537232841591331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7076471470585210140.post-18928190366520850922015-09-26T00:46:18.095-04:002015-09-26T00:46:18.095-04:00You've convinced me I must read this book.
