I was hoping to get the chance to watch the ROTK:EE yesterday, but couldn't do it. But I really want to watch it - so maybe tonight or something.

I keep seeing the very beginning and the very end.

Hey, if you guys don't mind, who plays these characters in the movies? I'd love to form a picture in my head.

I know Orlando's in it--who's he? And Liv Tyler, Cate Blanchett, Sean Astin? Isn't my boy Sean Bean in it? Please tell me he's not a bad guy for once. Any other major players?

Now I wouldn't say he's (Sean Bean/Boromir) necessarily the bad guy - just a victim of the ring.

I hated him the first time I read the book - but ended up seeing more complexity to his character than I initially saw.
