ep 130: The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers

The Pestle: In-depth Movie Talk, No Fluff | Film Review | Spoilers

We slink through Peter Jackson’s “The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers” and discuss:

• cinematography, lighting the middle Earth;
• story & writing, morality, demonstrating possession;
• special guest Joe Howes takes a quiz to test his vast Tolkien knowledge;
• and other such stuff and things and stuff.

“Whatever possession we gain by our sword cannot be sure or lasting, but the love gained by kindness and moderation is certain and durable.“ – Alexander the Great

This is the Galadriel eyelight that Joe mentions

Wes note: I mentioned that Eowyn was a combination of two characters from the books, I may be thinking of how Arwen took on some of Glorfindel’s duties from the book, or I may be forgetting a character altogether so it’s obviously time for me to reread the trilogy.
