This is gonna be a great Friday for me

This movie is just what I need. Thank you guys so very much.

Marko T.

We are so lucky that we got this trilogy. Its hard to believe this just turned 20. The recent 4K versions are great. I hope you watch Peter Jackson's King Kong. It was released just two years after this. Jackson wanted to have the same team working on it so he started pre-production when Return of the King was still in post-production. Andy Serkis did the motion capture for Kong and he has an other role too.

“My friends you bow to no one”… “I can’t carry it for you but I can carry you”… “death!!”… “it would have been her”…. One of only movies I tear up on during every rewatch. Then Howard Shore’s incredible music is one of the best scores ever made (The Beacons, The Eagle Rescue, Into The West etc). The acting; I could go on! This film is truly amazing. Thank you both for sharing your rewatch of this trilogy with all us Patrons, even if we know them scene for scene anyways haha. Hope y’all loved re-watching them again too!

I am so unreasonably hyped to wake up to Tremors tomorrow. I so hope the duo enjoys it, and enjoys it enough to maybe even watch Tremors 2, which to me is almost equally as good. As for these movies, I think George said it, everything else utterly shit and wrong with this world is almost worth it just to be able to live in the timeline that has this Trilogy. And going to mention again, Patreon Exclusive video that is a selection of you two watching some of the Extended Edition Behind the Scenes content, we all want it! Could be a nice Christmas present later this year, just sayin'

Me too! I woke up to this notification, and it's just enough time to watch this, and slip right into a Nattiestream!

Elvenwitch

I think of Aragorn's class change to ad&d Cavalier. As for my funeral song, I am shooting to be naked in the casket and have the Devinals I Touch Myself as the song played during the viewing.

Richard

Return of the King has the best speeches. Aragon's at the black gate still gives me chills. For Frodo!

REDR58

I don’t care what anyone says, that hook is way too large for that worm. Also, dry-for-wet never looks good. And those are my only 2 criticisms of this movie.

Odd Thomas

We need the Frighteners! Many of the LOTR effects were first tested on that movie - plus it's just a great f movie!

Odd Thomas

Ugh, the last hour of this movie gives me Niagara Falls in my face holes. Such a perfect trilogy. How is EVERY music cue by Howard Shore a banger? Like, every track makes you go 'omg I love this piece!'. I think the reason Rings of Power didn't take off for me (though I loved Morfydd Clark as Galadriel) is because it didn't have the heart or charm the Hobbits bring to LOTR. Jackson was so good at making the dark stuff dark and the light stuff light. Rings of Power was too po-faced, long and serious. Galadriel aside, I just didn't care about any of the characters. As for The Hobbit movies, I think the story didn't need to be stretched to 3 movies and they just used digital effects for EVERYTHING and it just felt lazy. There's something about the make-up and costumes in the original trilogy that feels so authentic, even if there is a lot of greenscreen backgrounds etc. Rant over.

Odd Thomas

I could be wrong but didn't Denethor have one of the palantir orbs, like Saraman did and that's what corrupted him? Or did I imagine that?

Dazzler & Em

Thank you for allowing us to join you on the journey of rewatching the Lotr trilogy. It is obviously very personal to both of you and we appreciate you sharing the experience.

Mastervodo

That scene where Theoden sees the Witch-King diving towards him and gives that face ..... that is another good place for the one "Fuck!" What do you guys think?

Mastervodo

Clearly - Aragorn's level-up class is Necromancer. I'm really kinda surprised you guys didn't realize that! Summons an army of the dead.... duh!

George, If you were with me, you wouldn't be here in this strip club shaking it for dollar bills!

🖤Per Simone's question if anyone likes Denethor... ANY part of him... yes. His hair. His hair fucks. And he can eat a tomato like he's on TV and it's his job. Outside of those two things... no. He's dirty brown water trash LOL. My understanding is he's a bit more of a sympathetic character in the books. I only read Fellowship of the Ring and it was like 15 years ago, so have to read the books (and plan to) to verify this, but strickly speaking the movie version... garbage human with majestic hair.

Some other good places: When Frodo sees Shelob for the first time. Right after Gimli says, I have the eyes of a Hawk and the Ears of a fox... (arrows).

Monica Alarcon

Thanks for the journey Simone and George... I missed watching these with friends...

Cate Blanchett movie suggestions: Blue Jasmine (2013) Curious Case of Benjamine Buttons (2008) The Aviator (2004) Veronica Guerin (2003) Elizabeth (1998) An Aussie actress that has graced us with many great roles example: the German spy thrillers, LOTR, How to train your dragon, the crystal skull (indiana jones adjacent movie), Thor: Ragnarok, Ocean's eight, house with a clock in the walls, e.t.c. The dated list above is some of her most accredited rolls for one reason or another.

REDR58

The lighting of the beacons is probably my favorite single element of the film. It’s just so majestic. The music that goes with it is amazing.

Astraeos
>>130534369

Cate Blanchett is so amazing as Kate Hepburn in The Aviator. That movie is seriously slept on.

Skyruff

humm... my childhood predates the vast majority of decent fantasy movies. I came to fantasy through sci-fi movies and reading mythology then the first fantasy novels which hooked me .... Conan. Nuff said.

Jared Winn

My flag of Rohan arrived yesterday. Time to ride through the Pelennor Fields toward death.

Jared Winn

This was my gateway, along with Narnia. I was 11 in 2001, so these are the most influential things to a little preteen. I saw Two Towers in theaters, so that probably why that one remains my favorite of the three. Went from fighting imaginary bad guys with ninja skills or pistols to fighting imaginary monsters with swords and bows.

Hey Simone, I have actually learned the secret to spiders, I don't fear them anymore, and I'll tell you how, for free. True story, I once moved into a place that had a ton of spiders and I got frustrated, but one day I noticed that I have 8 fingers and 2 thumbs that, if you put your thumbs together, look like fangs and legs on a big ass spider. Spiders are cannibalistic. My hands are a big ass spider. I swear this works, if you act like your hands are a big ass and AGGRESSIVE spider, the other spiders run for their lives. I've tried this technique multiple times and it hasn't failed yet, they're not that smart, but smart enough to know when someone is way bigger than them. Oh yeah, and I use my index fingers to threaten them, you raise them up like you're going to strike, that's what spiders do when they fight, it scares the shit out of them, I know it sounds bonkers but it works. I just realized spider wrangling is probably my one weird talent that everyone has 🤣 Ew, or the downside, I'm so creepy I scare spiders 😆

Joe D. MacGuffinstuff

Okay, you know what, I think I changed my favorite, It was Two Towers, I don't know now. The original reason I didn't favor this one was actually my fault. I saw all these in the theater, and it was fantastic, but I didn't bother to look at the run time before watching, did not realize how long this movie would be. So about 3 hours in I had to seriously take a piss, but I loved this so much I didn't want to miss a minute, and it just kept going, and GOING, AND GOING, meanwhile I needed to go and was in physical pain, and I did wait, but that long ending, after the bad ass battle was long forgotten by then, was absolute torture, I remember cursing Peter Jackson's name at one point, like, more slow motion?! For the love of God, roll credits! But the other thing I'm still irked about is the ghost army, I actually believe in ghosts (lived in a haunted house, they're real), but that just seemed anticlimactic to me, it wasn't technically the climax anyway, but I hated the deus ex machina, "the US cavalry always shows up just in time" trope being used yet again, and it was just too easy for them, wasn't satisfying to me. But all in all, I don't know, guess I'll have to watch them all again to figure out which is my favorite lol, ironically I like the extended version more (because can I take pee breaks at home), love this world and these characters having even more detail. Loved this! You guys gotta do a live stream version some day.

Just to contribute on the weight of the Witch King's flail, the density of iron is 7.874g/cm3. If the flail was forged from a block of iron that was 30cm x 15cm x 15cm, that would be 6,750cm3 or 53.15kg of iron. This is 116.82lb. Honestly considering the size of it plus the chain too, I would consider this as an underestimate!

John Noble(Denethor) is amazing in Fringe

James O'Sullivan

Enjoyed rewatching the trilogy with you both. Can I highly recommend the BBC Radio drama version to anyone who hasn't listened to it before. It has Ian Holm as Frodo, one of the reasons he plays Bilbo in this. And Bill Nighy of all people as Sam. It's also closer to the book than the films and just a great version.

JH

Im so glad you both did this… I appreciate it more than you know… it’s hard sometimes when life hits you with the curvest curve balls ever… but some moments, the good ones, in those rough times, just help the time go a little smoother and with a smile your face; you guys did that for me with these rewatches. 🙏🏾thank you ❤️🫡👏🏾🥲🥲🥹🥹

James O'Sullivan

For Cate Blanchett films. There's always the historical dramas: Elizabeth and Elizabeth: The Golden Age.

Philipp Roensch

Loved your reaction, waterworks and all, thank you for this rewatch and a beautiful sunday :D. Also have to re-read the books, I've only ever heard the german audio books and kept falling asleep to them. Lovely but not good for my memory. I do recall that Denethor was a bit more excusable in the books, because he actually wrestled with Sauron via the Palantir that already was in Minas Tirith. Nerd of the Rings has great lore videos, you probably could catch up with Denethor, the Palantir and the Oathbreakers Army there to answer your questions :). My first contact with fantasy and these movies, was around 2002, we've just started first edition 'The Dark Eye' (Das Schwarze Auge) pen and paper with friends, and then my buddy who already knew LotR, brought the cinematic cut of Fellowship on VHS. A few years before I was already in love with 'The Dwarves' by Markus Heitz, since then I've always been a Dwarf in spirit. Would really love if those books ever get a fair adaptation, and recommend you to read them. I would also recommend for Cate Blanchett movies: Thor Ragnarök, if you get to it in a Marvel run, she has fun in that one^^.

It was an emotional journey to rewatch the trilogy with you both ! Especially the third movie, of course… I think nearly every fan cries a lot with this one ! Thanks for your constant sincerity. My first experience with the trilogy was in theater (2001/2002/2003), so I was lucky and of course "completely shocked" every time.

Angela D. Mitchell

Thanks for the lovely rewatch! This was my gateway to fantasy -- my Dad read me LOTR in third grade, a chapter a night. I went on to read the full trilogy a few years later and have read it every year of my life since. I always crack up that PJ's kids show up in all three movies -- as hobbit children in 1, as Rohirrim children in 2, and as Minas Tirith children in 3. George, Denethor is much more subtle in the books. He is disdainful of Faramir, but it's not as over the top as in the movies. He is also not a cowardly ruler in the books and Gandalf is not as open with him about his disapproval. When Gandalf arrives with Pippin, Pippin is struck by how noble Denethor appears -- like a great and beautiful wizard, and worth his service. I hate the "Frodo exiles Sam" thing too. Just as with Faramir, it didn't and would never ever happen. But I think PJ does it so that Frodo is alone in Shelob's tunnel so the terror is worse and his regret is worse. As far as changes from the book, I also really, really miss Smeagol's near-repentance before the tunnel. It is a beautiful moment in the book -- Smeagol comes back to see Frodo and Sam sleeping, and he is so touched that he almost repents. He looks like an old, lonely hobbit and he reaches to touch Frodo's knee. Then Sam wakes up and yells at him, and Smeagol's last chance is gone. I wish they'd been clearer in showing Merry and Eowyn fall unconscious from their wounding the Witch King (they have the Black Breath from proximity to the Nazgul) -- and that Aragorn as the true King has "the hands of a healer" and that's how he saves them. In the movie Merry says to Pippin, "Are you going to leave me?" but in the book it's even more moving -- Merry says, "Are you going to bury me?" For me, the moment Barad'dur falls is so amazing because musically the "Nazgul" theme FINALLY goes major and it's so beautiful and satisfying! I admit that Sauron as a huge Eye in the movies bugs me a little -- it's a simplified view of the Sauron from the books, where the Eye is sort of a symbolic/cosmic representation of him but who has multiple presentations, including an implied "entering a room" presence (as when he questions Pippin). Elrond weeping as he urges Arwen to go to Aragorn always kills me. Perfect presentation of happiness as the world is saved and his adopted son has triumphed, but grief that he will lose his daughter forever (even in the afterlife). Hugo Weaving is just lovely there. I love every bit of the multiple endings. Meanwhile, a few bits of fun trivia: That is Sean Astin's actual little girl as Sam's daughter Elanor. Liv Tyler sings the song we hear during the "Houses of Healing" segment with Eowyn and Faramir (and oh, man, I wish they had filmed that entire chapter, darn it -- it's so much of Eowyn's arc). Viggo Mortensen not only purchased Brego, his horse in the film, he also gave the horse of Liv Tyler's riding double (Jane Abbott) her horse as a gift, since they had bonded so closely. (After this, I admit that I'd love to see y'all do a watchalong of the Hobbit movies, but George hates them so much I'd be depressed, since I'm one of the few, the proud, who loves them -- flaws and all.)

Spacecat44

My gateway into fantasy was the Redwall book series, I absolutely devoured those books as a kid

Nemo

If you want a Cate Blanchett movie, I highly recommend The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. It's my favorite Wes Anderson movie, along with the Grand Budapest. Bill Murray is great in it.

Ginger

"Simone, what are you wearing there?" ... "Wool of a touqe!"

Raven Dark

I love these movies, but I'm the only one of my friends that cares about them at all, so it was great to watch them with two people who enjoy them so much. I love the reactions to all three films, guys. I didn't read Lord of the Rings until I was in my early twenties, and I've read them twice. I saw these movies for the first time in my early thirties, and I adore them. There are a lot of standout lines in this movie, but my favorite, out of all three movies is Sam's line: "I can't carry it, but I can carry you!" Everyone needs a Ssmwise in their lives. My best friend, my Sam, ironically, hates anything fantasy. LOL Go figure. She loves Stranger Things though, and she loves Cobra Kai, my two favorite shows, so that makes up for it, because we get to share in and talk about them together. Oh, and my favorite book of all time is The Stand, and it's hers too, so that's wonderful. My first experience with fantasy was the movie The Neverending Story. I was twelve, and it had just come out in theaters. My childhood was abysmally bad, so that movie was my escape. It's one of the few really good memories of my childhood I have. It's not a stretch to say I am who I am because of that movie. I would have turned into a very messed up kid if not for that film, and others like it. Thanks for sharing this wonderful journey with us, Simone and George. I am glad to have found your channel. Some people go to these movies when they're having a tough time. When I have a bad day, I come to you.

"Share the load (share the load), the load, (the load), the load..." If none of the inevitable LotR porn parodies used this line, it would have been such a missed opportunity.

Rooster Aleution

Bernard Hill just owns every single scene that he's in. He's my favorite actor in the trilogy. RIP Bernard!

Rooster Aleution

I second a mention for reacting to The Frighteners. An all star cast headed by Michael J. Fox with cool special effects.

Sir Jimmothy

I'm a bit late to this but feel the need to tell you: That tumour-faced orc is called Gothmog, and he was designed to resemble Harvey Weinstein. Fun fact of the day :]

Amelie W

For an R rated version of the trilogy, if you could have either realistic amounts of blood and death gurgles or Gollum's loincloth covering nothing, which is more important? Pippin is the real hero of this show, you know. Because do you know how hard it is to sing when you need to cry? I've had three funerals to practice it and I can't do it. The king of the dead has the best evil laugh of all time. You know, where it starts out as a light but joyless titter and then sinks deeper and deeper into his throat until it rattles the Earth and shakes loose 500,000 skulls. Did you know Theoden is not a mere steward? He's the queen of drama. I thought Sam crushing the bread was SUCH a great character moment. Can you even imagine how angry he must be to waste food? How come nobody put a single fire arrow in Grond's all wood support structure? When the Witch King points his sword at the sky and Gandalf's staff goes bang, I wonder if he ever figured out what happened. Pretty sure the audience didn't. (I haven't.) Next year, rewatch with the both of you in the same room? Just an idea.

WalrusWallace

I actually watched the Lord of the Rings when it first came out in theaters. Though I was too young to appreciate it haha. My cousins snuck me in when I was 10. The same cousins gave me their old fantasy books soon after and those were my gateway to fantasy. The dragonlance books, and the chronicles of narnia. And fantasy books and movies have held a special place in my heart since.
