LOTR: The Fellowship of the Ring Part 3 [Final] Recap

Even though this isn’t a worldwide holiday, Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! This is my gift to you all, brought to you after much blood, sweat, and tears. Actually, more like headdesking, cursing, and more headdesking. For those of you who’ve never read the previous LOTR recaps,  Arwen and Shadowfax join me once again in commentary and analysis. Blue for Arwen and purple for Shadowfax. Since this recap is quite long — even longer than the other two, if you can believe it — let’s cut to the chase and get started, shall we?

LOTR: The Fellowship of the Ring Part 2 Recap

Didja think we forgot about this recap series? My lovely guest bloggers Arwen and Shadowfax and I were quite busy for the past two months, which was why this project was put off for a while. Although we’re back, don’t expect these recaps to come out anytime soon. But we promise to stay committed to this series till the very end. Now, please give a most welcome hand of applause to the lovely Arwen and brilliant Shadowfax. These two seriously have almost no time to play so the fact that they’re using their free time to join me in these recaps makes me a very happy camper.

This is probably my least favorite part in the entire series, although it’s momentous in its own way. I suppose it’s my least favorite because I didn’t feel like I had a lot to talk about. But somehow, all three of us were able to babble away and top the word count from our previous recap.

Some housekeeping memos to note: This recap is a bit different from any recap that you’ve read, because it contains two main voices: Arwen and myself. Our recapping styles are also quite different, so don’t be alarmed. Arwen recapped the 1st half while I recapped the 2nd half. It shouldn’t be too hard to read, though. It just makes this experience all the more interesting. For you and for us. Shall we return to visit our beloved Hobbits?

LOTR: The Fellowship of the Ring Part 1 Recap

If my math calculations are correct (and they sometimes aren’t, for math is the bane of my life), this will be the first recap of a total of nine for the entire trilogy series. So three recaps per movie. I’ve thought about recapping the LOTR trilogy for a while now, since it’s a movie series that owns me heart and soul. Literally. Here I am, taking a huge leap of faith. It took a lot of pondering before I decided to give this baby a go, and this first post is dedicated to both Arwen and Shadowfax, who’ll be joining me in this project. I consider both of these ladies to be more knowledgeable on this series — and better writers, don’t deny it! — than me, and I’m grateful to have them join me for these LOTR recaps.  Continue reading
