My New Year's eve didn't turn out so hot. I'll leave it at that.

Regarding The Two Towers, things I liked: Gollum, digital orcs (especially those ones being squashed), Wormtongue. Things I didn't like: it was too long (they really didn't need to show Theoden whining as much as they did, for one thing) and the dangerously comic depiction of Gimli, who as a great leader of dwarves deserved much better treatment. We already have hobbits for comic relief -- why did they have to make fun of the dwarf?? (The dwarf-tossing sequence was nice, however.) Finally, did anyone else think that the wolves looked more like wombats?
