I don't own any of these characters.but I DO wish I owned Orlando Bloom.or Will Turner.or Johnny Depp.or Captain Jack Sparrow. *-* Ha..me and Jack Sparrow.I can just imagine the looks I'd get from all my friends.and it'd be worth every second..
A/N: This is an alternate ending to the movie- I'm sure that if you read the preceding chapters, you'll know what's been going on and whatnot..Savvy?*-*
A/N #2: This is the chapter you wanted.and I'm giving it to you.Savvy?
A/N #3: Mmmmmkay... So, I'll TRY to explain why this chapter took sooooo long to get up.. But you'll have to wait 'til the end of the chapter in my other A/N, savvy?
Summary: This is like an alternate ending to the movie.I'm at the spot where.well.read the "previously" thing..
Previously on Defeat:
She looked confused for a moment, but her mouth opened a little in realization. Yes, she remembered, how could she forget? All the scars and bullet holes. he had showed her his scars, and it was her first time seeing Jack at his rawest. No flair, nothing, just a pure soul within a battered body and a larger-than-life legend. That had been the moment that won the bit of trust and respect that she held for him. Elizabeth nodded slightly, looking back into his slightly swollen, fathomless eyes rimmed in large black rings.
"Then I think you already knew the answer to that, Elizabeth."
She smiled slightly and nodded.
Will looked back and forth from Elizabeth and Jack several times, utterly confused. What had happened on the island that seemed so important? Will's mind was a flurry of thoughts and guesses. The pieces of the puzzle really didn't seem to fit in Will's head, and that annoyed him greatly, so he decided to ask it out-rightly.
"What're you talking about?" he asked, throwing his voice a little to make it seem less suspicious.
Jack swollen eyes darted to and found Elizabeth's immediately. In his eyes, Elizabeth could see the man from the island once more, pleading silently to her not to breath a word. She understood how he felt instantly, and gave him a quick, but reassuring look. From there, Jack took the reins and said, "It's nothing, really mate. We 'ad a talk, learned a song, rubbish, really." he trailed off, his improvisational skills failing him at the moment. "Yeah mate, we talked about was a wench in Tortuga who I've been 'avin' troubles with. I think you may've met her.." He tilted his eyebrows at Will, trying to reawaken those grand memories of that night in Tortuga. "Nothing extraordinary." Jack smiled encouragingly to top it all off.
Will looked discerningly at Jack; he had the distinct feeling that what Jack told him wasn't entirely true. Then, he shifted his gaze over to Elizabeth, "Elizabeth?" he said, as if asking for confirmation of what Jack said.
"Well, it turned out there really wasn't all that much to do on that island, so I ended up counseling Jack here, on what to do about his maiden. I can't say my advice helped him at all, but mostly we sat and um. built a fire," she told him, sounding as frankly as she possibly could.
Will frowned slightly, they seemed to be hiding something, but he couldn't tell just what it was. He, of course, had seen the split-second look that Jack had given Elizabeth; he was torn between believing his friends or his instincts, and as of now, his instincts seemed to be winning out. Anything could have happened on the island, and he'd never really be able to know the entire truth. That one fact seemed to overtake all his thoughts, and with that, it spawned a new one. Had Elizabeth and Jack.? No.. They couldn't have.. But then again, Jack was the sort of man, the sort of pirate, that would go to steal a man's sweetheart from under his nose, so the only question was: did Jack do it? Did Jack do what he couldn't? What he knew he couldn't do for so many reasons?
His head was spinning, speculations swirling wildly about inside. He had to know, but how could he? Will knew that if he outwardly accused Elizabeth of lying to him, it would only deepen her grudge for him. His accusation would be like the crack growing in a block of wood with a wedge being hammered in; and by no means did Will want that. He finally decided upon asking Jack after Elizabeth had gone to sleep. Will really wasn't sure if that was the best place to be asking; Jack's honesty speech was playing again in his head, but there really was not other choice. Now, all he had to do was sit and wait.
Jack had been watching Will ever since he broke his glance to Elizabeth, trying to see whether Will would buy their story. By the looks of things now, Jack didn't think Will did. There was something about the boy's eyes that jack saw right through. It was as if a storm cloud was raging just behind those deep brown eyes of Will's, but he was doing his best to hide it. The whole thing gave him a glazed over sort of look that made him seem abnormally calm and collected. "No doubt he suspects something," Jack thought to himself. He knew that Will had to be holding the question in, waiting for the opportune moment, silently. In his thoughts, he congratulated Will for taking his advice and not being so impetuous in a time like this. Doing so would only make matters worse between him and Elizabeth.
Now Jack's only problem was thinking of what to actually tell Will. Too much information would lead to something he didn't want, but on the other hand, too little would keep Will in this suspicious state, also something he didn't particularly care for. So he sat there, much like Will, dwelling on his thoughts.
Elizabeth had moved into a different position on the floor, laying on her side, facing Will and Jack, propped up on one elbow. She too, could tell that Will hadn't entirely believed their story, but that was his problem. Yes. His and Jack's problem, if Jack wanted to tell Will what went on that night, he could, but she wasn't going to for Jack, not when he didn't want her to.
Will should have just believed them in the first place, because now, there was some sort of odd feeling radiating from him. Though, if he did believe their ill-planned story, she knew she would be disappointed. It was one of those qualities about Will that she liked. He could almost always sense when something was amiss, and he was always alert, as if waiting for something to happen. But what did she care now? She couldn't utter a word to him without also thinking about his wrongs; she couldn't even say his name anymore.and why? Because of his failure to use that little quality she liked so much a couple nights ago. If only he had dropped the medallions and reflected later. Her father, the Commodore, and the Royal Navy would still be alive, and by now she surmised, would be taking them home, back to Port Royale.
Though, now that she thought about it, was that really, truly what she wanted? To go back to Port Royale and marry Commodore James Norrington? To live in the governor's mansion for the rest of her life, attending balls and dinner parties, longing for another taste of adventure now that she had had a little? And what of Will and Jack? Jack would without any doubt whatsoever be hanged upon arrival in Port Royale, no appeals, second chances, or escapes. His ship would be gone, his freedom, his life. And then there was Will. Poor, faithful Will, who would have to attend her wedding to the Commodore and endure losing her again. Or, he may even share the same fate as Jack. engaging in piracy was a crime, James had said so, and she somewhat doubted that the other Royal officers in Port Royale would be so forgiving toWill. But what if that they did let Will free. Elizabeth supposed he would never marry, or if he did, it would certainly not be for love. For how could he love anyone so deeply as he loved her? And how could she love anyone as deeply as she had loved him? After every obstacle, they had managed to maintain their love. until now.
"Why?!" she thought furiously, nearly saying it out loud as well. "Why does life have to be this way?"
It turned out that Jack answered that very question for her, and this wasn't the first time. That was back on the island. when the circumstances had been so different.
A/N: Ok guys and gals, I have come across the unthinkable. nah.. Not really, but it's just a little bump in the road, a toss in the waves, if you will. Um. I have some serious writer's block going on here, I've had the beginning of this chapter, which is actually this entire chapter done for about a week and a half, maybe 2 weeks. The only problem is; is that I was going to have the island scene included in this chapter as well.. But seeing as I can't seem to finish it like I had hoped, I'm posting this chapter for you guys to dwell on. I've got a bit of the island scene done (which by the way, is a major hint that ummm.. That's what the next chapter (or chapters..perhaps, but let's hope not.) is about. So.. I've got to say that I'm incredibly sorry that it's taken this long to get this post up. I think it's been a full-fledged month since I last posted.. Oh wait, nevermind, not a month, since I last posted on Orlando's birthday and my birthday is on the 13 of February.. No joke, go ask YoukaiGryffindor if you don't believe me. So, almost a month, and in my opinion, that's way too long. I'm working like a bandit right now to finish the island scene, I was up 'til 2 last night and the weekend before, I was up 'til 1 on both night's (Friday and Saturday). So, I've been trying to burn the midnight oil and get something done, but frankly, it's just not happening right now. I can tell you I'll be up late tonight as well trying to get the story going again, because it's the weekend, and I really have nothing to worry about on a weekend (because if I stayed up past 1 on a school night, I'd be dead the next morning..*-*). So, I'm not trying to make excuses, but you might have to wait a bit for the next chapter, but I've got to say that I'm SO INCREDIBLY grateful for all your support! I'm still getting reviews and I posted like a month ago (if I haven't said that enough. *-* I always manage to find someway to dig myself a deeper grave..*-*), and wow, they're all really awesome, I give you a round of applause, plus snaps. So, I really hope that you like this chapter, it's really short, I know.. But at the moment, I can't help it. Hopefully a coke tonight will get another chapter out, but I'm not sure. Next week (the week of the 13th.. My birthday! Woo hoo!!!) is a 3 day weekend at my school (for President's Day I think..) so I'll have extra time then.. But thanks guys (and gals!!) I love you all! So please, please, please, stick around and don't desert me, I'm trying like hell..
A kinda stressed out cheers..
Tati Bloom aka Elf Girl 4
PS: I love Orlando Bloom!!!
PPS: Got a xanga.com online journal thing, so go there if you wanna check in and see what's going on and whatnot.. I'll probably be saying how the chapter's going along.. So go there and see! *-* If I can find the url right now, great, if not.. Go to www.xanga.com and search for the user: DepplyInBloom Well, I can't go get the url now, but definitely go there! *-*
Ok, here we go.. And from the bottom of my heart, A STAGGERING, MIND-BLOWING THANK YOU TO:
*PoppyNokia: Ohhhh.. I'm so glad it was worthy for your sweet 16.. I'm glad you got tons of presents! I hope I'm that lucky on Friday... And yeah, I'm glad that it's not slash too.. I mean, I don' t know if I could pull a slash story off without it seeming totally pointless, do you know what I mean? I'm just not good at guy on guy action. Progresses.. Mmmm hmmm... lovely word usage darling... Thanks! I hope I can get the next one up soon! *-*
*The Serious Padfoot: I'm glad you liked it.. And yeah, saw your pic! It was great! 3 like drunken looking pirates... What a night it had to have been! I, on the otherhand, was the only drunken pirate.. Or rather, Jack Sparrow. At the parties I went to.. Kinda lonely, you know, being a cross-dresser... *-* Tee hee... I'm in a giddy mood at the moment. *-* Hope you liked this chapter too!
*Anaticulapraecantrix: Hope I spelled it right again..lol... Yes, that lovely Jack, always hiding his feelings about everything... Gosh, I hope that this chapter was good too.. And yeah!!!! I just LOVE the Annie Lennox song!!!! (Into the West.. If you wanted the title) I swear to god, I was sobbing at the credits because it was over... I seriously am in denial that it's going to take until NOVEMBER to get the EE done!!! I was on a website the other day, and they said the theatrical cut was coming out in like June or perhaps August (like tradition..) and the EE was coming in November!!! Either way, I'm still stoked.. I can't wait for the Legolas drinking game scene!!! (Have you seen about that one?) *-*
*Kenobisqt: Thank you! I'm glad you think that Will is good.. And definitely more Will is on the way, but I can't give too much away, otherwise, where would be the fun in that??? *-* I'm glad I got your name right! I always try to make a point of it, since I know how it feels when people get your name wrong.. I mean, Tatiana isn't the most common name, and my god, I've gotten some pretty weird stuff. *-* Thanks, I thought that the poem was crap, but I'm glad you liked it... I actually wrote a better poem later that night, but I couldn't post it cuz it was so late, and I didn't actually have a chapter to go with it. *-* Keep reading.. More Will will be coming up in a couple of chapters.. Don't worry! *-*
*ElvenRanger13: Wow, I like your name a lot.. *-* Many of my fav aspects of LOTR rolled into one name... *-* I'm happy you liked the poem too!! I made it up on the spot.. But I made a better one later that night, though I couldn't post it since it was late and I wasn't supposed to be on.. *-* Oh but darling, don't we all love him? *-* (But I love him the most..nah..j/k... maybe...) I'm glad you like the story, I hope that you continue to read it! I'd be soooo happy if you did! Please review again! Hope that this chapter was good as well!! *-*
*Supa Nova: Hey!!!! Yep, another chappy!!! I hope you like this one... And god, I'm so happy that you like it so much!!! I'm glad that I've gotten such a huge response!!! And yes, Hector is a bit of a jerk.. But as you'll soon see, I'll be making him a complex/complicated jerk (or so I hope. *-*). I know, poor, poor Jack.. I love him too, as well as the lovely Johnny Depp! And me too! I seriously have doubts sometimes about how hot Johnny is... I can't believe it... But he's got the wisdom to prove his age.. I love what he says (like his quotes and stuff!). And yes, Viggo too is 40.. I personally don't think that there's anything wrong with you... Since I'm the same, only WORSE.. I saw ROTK like 3 days after (you can't believe how pissed I was about that..) it came out and holy whack, I was blown away.. Oh, and what about your evil chorus teacher? Your thing seems to have cut off... Well, hope you liked this chapter!!! *-*
*Inu Lover: It doesn't matter that you're late! It's the thought that counts, and I'm sure he'd be glad about your wishes! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'm glad that you liked it! I'll try and update as often as I can, but I can't guarantee anything.. As you may know now.. *-* Keep reading though!
*Captain Annie Finn: Thanks very much.. *-* (words plucked straight from the very mouth of our favorite pirate..) I'm glad my imagery has been so good, I've said it before, but I'll say it again without hesitation: I think it's the biggest complement for a reader to say that they felt like they actually saw it or were there! I mean, that's what I write for, isn't it? Thanks. And yes, I did remember you from the time between your 1st and 2nd review! I'm not one to forget that fast.. *-* Tee hee.. Ok.. So now I'm reading your 2nd review.. Ok, I'm delighted that I held your attention. I have troubles with that with my parents.. *-* (haha..my lame attempt at humor.. Give me a courtesy/utter pity laugh..) And I'm glad that the characters are as you said "still in character," and yes, I totally got what you meant. Oh, and about Jack's amusement derived from Will's little problem.. Well, I'm sorry that you didn't like it.. *Puts on worried face* But it turns out that pretty much everyone else did.. Um, not quite sure how to put that... but I don't think I'll have anymore ummmm.. How shall I put it.. Bathroom humor... Right? Yeah, if I did, it'd probably be too much.. Wouldn't it? *-* Well. I'm soooooo amazed that I've actually kept away from Will this long.. And yeah, I've been trying not to rely on him and drone on and on about him, it'd be a lot more boring if I did.. I think I'd start talking about how each individual strand caught the light of the singular lantern of the brig.. *-* Nah! But I try not to be biased towards young Mr. Turner because it's a lot more interesting when everyone's included. I'm glad.. Oh, thanks for your condolences about school! I hate it with a passion. though now I'm in English and Am. Studies (basically American History. oh joy, I get to learn about how fricking textbook authors glorify the oh-so-righteous rise of America... *major sarcasm ensuing.*) So yeah, I'm a freshman in high-school.. 15 years old on Friday! I'm excited.. *-* And yeah, about the island scene. It's taking longer than expected to write it, so don't worry, I'll get it up soon hopefully. Ok? Ttyl! I hope you keep reading and reviewing! *-*
*Shannon: Oh my gosh Shannon.. I'm soooooo sorry that I haven't been able to reply to your emails! Don't worry, I got them, and as soon as this writers block and homework clear up, I'll email you my account of watching Pirates of the Caribbean at my local theatre.. Savvy? *-* Ok, back to your review. Well, I'm glad that you reviewed, I'm forgive my crappy word usage, ecstatic that you're such a great fan! I definitely loved it! I always try my best to put in details to make the story seem more real, it's just something that I've always done, and it frankly kinda annoys me when other people just glaze over what really happened instead of taking time to actually tell. *-* Also very ecstatic (god, you'd never think that's a hard word to type, but holy whack, it is!) that you like my Ella fic. Though I've been having some serious troubles with it.. But since I know that there's someone out there still reading it, I'll try my damnedest (ha.. First time I've ever used that in a sentence..feels kinda odd..) to get another chapter up for you! And yes.. Oh my gosh, yes, ROTK rocked my world... I was totally into it and I couldn't watch it without crying.. I cant' wait til the extended edition and Legolas' drinking game scene... And lastly, I must completely, totally, utterly agree with you that Orlando Bloom is the most stunning man to walk the earth... I swear to god, if anyone were more beautiful than he, I think I'd explode (as well as the entire population of women on the planet...*-*) On his b-day I wore all my Orlando memorabilia... and it was surprising, everyone that I knew (some that I haven't talked to since like the 1st grade) came up to me and were like.. "Yeah, you're a bit obsessed, aren't you?" And I was like, "Yeah, just a little." It was cute.. So yeah, TKAM, not bad, I liked it very much, Atticus is my hero.. Kinda.. Well, at least in that book. So where'd you get your cardboard cutout from? I have to get one.. I've got a POTC one with all 4 of the main people on it, though, it's like 7 ft tall and huge.. My god, when I brought it home, there was no place in my room for it.. But I MADE room for it... *-* Well, I also have to agree with you about Kate Bosworth.. If only I were her though, if only... oh well, just have to keep dreaming.. Right?*-* Ok, well I've gotta go! I'll try to post soon, and I'll definitely take you up on your offer, I'll email you sometime! And yeah, I've watched the cast commentary like 6 times each on both of the movies (FOTR and TTT). And oh yes, I'm a freshman in high-school...
*Lizzie: I like your name too!! Bracegirdle eh? I can't remember what my test said (I took a name test and it told me what my hobbit name was..).. So yeah, woah.. I'm really flattered that you liked it so much that you couldn't wait til the end! I.I.. Wow.. I've said it earlier.. But yet again, I'll say it without hesitation: I think it's awesome that I've been able to convey these characters in such a way that you can all relate to and imagine and feel! Thank you so much! I love Will too.. He's a complicated character, and I hope you keep reading! And yeah! My reviews are up to like 140 at the moment.. I hope you liked this chapter... And oh yes, I do believe that Orlando said Elizabeth in this chapter.. Glad? *-* Tee hee.
*Spirit Fire: Yeah, talking 'bout my crap poem eh? I think that it was horrid too. don't worry.. Though I did make a better one later that night.. *-* So yeah, it's totally fine about not reviewing the last chappy.. Shit happens, I know what you mean.. *-* Well, I hope that it hasn't been too long.. And I'll try to post again soon!!! So keep reading, and if you've the time, then review too! *-*
*Lollipop5: Nahh... that's ok if it's late.. Doesn't matter, just as long as it's done.. *-* So yeah, a raunchy Orlando poem, maybe you should email it to me, I'd be happy to critique it.. Lmfao... *-* Ok, so, glad you liked the chapter!!! I hope you liked this one as much.. ROTK.. Favorite movie ever. I swear to god, I can't watch it without crying and then crying some more because that means no more Legolas! No more arrows, no more fighting, no more wig, no more fricking skin-tight tights!!!!! Oh well, there's always the extended edition! And yes, yes, YES!!! There is going to be at least one sequel, they're not sure about 2.. I'm soooooo happy, I mean, hot and sweaty Will Turner.. And not to mention Jack *ahem* Captain Jack Sparrow as well.. *-* Well, Will was a bit of a dolt in the first place, but I know what you mean.. And thank you! I'm glad that you thought it brought Barbossa out a bit, there's still more to come of him though, so keep reading, he should get more complex.. (I hope.. *-*) Well, ttyl! French really isn't THAT bad... I mean, if Johnny Depp likes it, I'm sure we can like it too, right? *-* lmfao... And yeah, I'm that way too.. I have to get my daily dose of Johnny and Orlando otherwise, you get a very pissed off little girl on your hands.. Not good.. And oh yeah!!! I know what you mean about that number!!!! They put a frigging 4 on the end of my name!!! At least they could have made it like a 3 or a 13 or something.. Jeez.. *-*
*Orlandos Gurl 13: Hey!!! I'm pleased that you liked it!!!! And yes, poor Jack, I always feel bad for him.. Well, I love Orlando too.. Guess we'll have to share.. Savvy? Glad ya liked it! Keep reading and reviewing!!!! Bye!!!
*Irene: Yeah, I know it was a bit short, I couldn't help it, and same as this one.. I mean, it's been really tough getting it all out, if that makes any sense, actually it's been tough doing it, thinking of what happens next, etc. Ok.. So just read your 1st review again.. Yeah, Barbossa isn't letting on everything at the moment.. There'll come a time when more gets let out, believe me.. Thank you very much!!!!!! I'm glad that you actually said "perfect".. And yeah, Jack's got standards, and he knows what to do, it's all in his "master plan" or whatever he's trying to brew in his head... Yep, and Will, poor Will, he's in a league all his own, one minute he's actually got a brain, the next, he's lost it. A very complex man if you ask me.. And I hope I portrayed him rightly in this chapter. like I wasn't too over-the-top (or under it for that matter.). Elizabeth too. I hate to make her bitter.. But yeah, drastic stuff's gonna happen, that's all I can say. *-* So, I'm glad you like the island idea, I only hope that it will be up to par when I get it posted.. Well, I'm happy that you feel like whatever I post is good news.. That, my friend, is good news to me. Well, I hope you had fun out there! And maybe you got a date.. *-* I mean, 3 hours.. Wow. But I know I'd do that for the guy I like.. (This one's actually a guy that I know.. Not just Orlando.) *-* And yeah, school, sucks like hell and I don't think it's gonna get any better.. Can't wait 'til senior year though... god.. And now I've read your second review again.. I totally agree. I need more of that peaceful and loving place... Well, I hope that you liked this one.. And yeah, it's an early V-day gift.. Unless, by some stroke of amazing luck I get the next chapter posted before then.. *-* Have a good Valentine's Day! Get lots of chocolate!!! *-* Thank you, and cheers!
*Mistress of Mordor: *sighs* I've got to say how utterly sorry I am.. Really, truly.. I got your 3rd review the other day, and I was soooo worried! Never, ever could I be mad at you! Of course you didn't piss me off... And I'm glad that you reviewed asking about it, it shows me just how much you really care! And I think that's lovely. So once again, no, you haven't offended me, or made me mad, or anything.. If you had, I'd probably just come out and say it, but, let's remember, I don't think I could be mad at you (unless you seriously "dissed" something I truly believe in. but even then, I wouldn't resort to not posting.. You know how much I love you!!! Or at least now you do!!!) Ok, back to your 1st review though.. I'm gonna skip around and talk about the chappy first kay? I'm glad you caught my meaning. I really wanted to convey Jack as sort of a mentor (in a twisted kind of way.. Sort of. *-*) to Will and Elizabeth since he's been such a legend to them up 'til now, and at this point, he can't disappoint them. And Will and Elizabeth are just. well, they depend on Jack (just as you said.) and I think it fits in that they should be worried, since they've got low morales as well. Mmmmmm.. Glad you liked my little eyebrows in the bandana thing.. I actually came up with it on a whim and I liked the thought of how descriptive it was, instead of: Jack raised his eyebrows. You know? Okay, and now to the somewhat complicated part.. I actually do realize that it's under the drama/angst genre and the truth is, is that I wish that there were more categories to put it under since there's a lot of facets (I hope.. Tell me if I'm wrong..) to this story. There will be adventure, believe me, I just have to get through a bit more, and then there'll be something more umm... fun. Yeah, I think that's the right word for it. I mean, it'll have more action and not so much grief. But I can't tell you all that happens, otherwise, where would the fun be? I'm kinda hoping to go for a bit of emotional stuff as well as action, and of course (can't forget) drama. And yes, Barbossa and Will chapter, coming up in 2, maybe 3 chapters, can't be sure as of now, since I haven't even got this next chapter done.. But yeah, I really couldn't handle making it a slash thing. First off, I can't do that to Will.. Secondly, even though I've read some slashy fics, I don't think I could pull it off. I mean there's some writers that are naturally good at it, but I really can't imagine or put into words what guy on guy action is like. Do you know what I mean? Well, you certainly have a lot of questions.. And actually, I'm very, very glad. They give me sort of a starting point of what to include and a bit of insight into what you (and others, I'm sure) want to read. So, the thing is, I can't get them all answered in one dandy-howdy-do, so they'll be answered over time (I'm pretty sure. almost certain) Ok so.. Anwering your question.. "Where is my story going?" At the moment, I know where it'll end, and the means that it'll take to get there. But I don't know ALL the means. which is why I'm having such a devil of a time writing this next chapter (the island chapter..). SO.. in other words, you can expect some drama in this next chapter, some drama in the next, a surprise (or at least I hope it's one.. Who knows.) in the next one (or maybe sooner than that), and a bit of a shuffling of the characters and what's going on.. I'm not quite sure if that made any sense or if it even answered your question, but you've got to understand (and I'm sure you do) that I don't want to give too much away.. *-* So tell me what's up with this chapter. I'd love to know.. And I'm also sorry that it's sooooo incredibly short. I'm having the worst time right now.. Nothing's clicking... But now.. Onto a lighter subject.. ROTK.. *-* Yay! I've got to say that I loved it. I thought that it was absolutely marvelous, and that it's got to be the best adaptation of that book ever.. Except of course for: The Voice of Saruman, and the Scouring of the Shire. Those, they could have done to keep in the frigging movie.. But I also realize that they were pressed for time.. Well, actually, I don't fully get that.. I mean, they're making this for the fans, and they know that if given the chance, we WILL sit in that theatre for an extra hour, or whatever to see what happens (though we already know.) to Saruman, and how the Shire has changed when they got back. It's really a shame that they took out that stuff.. Same with Tom Bombadil as well.. But I remember reading the book for the first time (which was a while ago) and not really understanding why he was in there.. *-* Oh, and holy mother of all that is good.. Sean Astin was amazing. No offense to my beloved Orlando or Viggo, but I too, thought that he carried the movie just as he carried Frodo up the slopes of Mt. Doom. His performance was the performance of a lifetime and I swear, I'm so incredibly pissed that none of the actors were recognized by the Academy or anyone really in this awards season.. It's a major bummer. Though, it's really nice that ROTK is nominated for 13 Oscars! Gotta love that, eh? And yeah, I loved the kiss at the end with Aragorn and Arwen, and the fact that they just gave way to emotion and kissed like it was the end of the world. It was so nice.. If only that were me and Orlando (or Johnny..), I'd die a very, very happy person. *-* And oh, come on! Orlando was not THAT effeminate.. I mean, yes the long hair was a bit much, but I think that he was superb at playing his elven highness to the core. Although, I think that may just be my Orlando loving side talking, and not my usual critical self.. *-* Well, I've gotta go! It's 10 o'clock already and I should be in bed (stupid bedtime. what do my parents think I am? Five?), and I actually should have posted this already. but it looks like I'll have to post tomorrow morning before school. Oh well.. It was lovely talking to you!!! Please review again, and feel free to speak your mind! I'm really not all that judgmental. Except to those Scandinavians from the first couple of chapters.. Although, I can't remember what my quarrel with them was in the first place, so it doesn't matter. Oooops. I'm digressing.. Crap. Gotta go!!! *-* Cheers!!!
THANKS TO EVERYONE THAT REVIEWED!!! I LOVED EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM, SO PLEASE, PLEASE, KEEP GOING!!!! *-* CHEERS! *-* xox
