- Movie version Frodo is a quitter. #lotrbooktomovie
- Ents like to kick their enemies. #fightingstyle #lotrbooktomovie
- @cleverruhs In other words, I didn't answer your question. #lotrbooktomovie
@cleverruhs A wizard is never late, he arrives precisely when he means to. #lotrbooktomovie- So, did Gandalf wait for the sun to come up or did he time it perfectly? #lotrbooktomovie
- GANDALF!!!!!!!!!! #lotrbooktomovie
- "What can men do against such reckless hate." #lotrbooktomovie
- The Ents are so cool in the movie, but they'r eeven cooler in the book. #lotrbooktomovie
- Poor Treebeard. #lotrbooktomovie
- Thank goodness we got another snippet of Frodo's and Faramir's stupid emotions. #lotrbooktomovie
- Aww, Treebeard seeing the dead trees makes me so sad. #lotrbooktomovie
- Secret side door! Good thing the Uruk-Hai only believe in using main entrances. #lotrbooktomovie
- When the elf dies, it sounds like Aragorn yells, "ELFIE!" #lotrbooktomovie
- Today Pippin learns that he doesn't live in a bubble. #hardlesson #lotrbooktomovie

- Let's fight a hopeless battle. In the rain. #lotrbooktomovie
- Movie makers: this movie needs more elves. Let's forget how far they were from Helm's Deep. More elves. Who will all die. #lotrbooktomovie
- ELVES AREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE HERE. They're presence honestly just makes the battle more of a failure. #lotrbooktomovie
- Halith, son if Hama!! <3 #rememberHama #lotrbooktomovie

Theoden: "Where was Gondor...?" Me: "In Gondor." #lotrbooktomovie- Everyone: "We have good advice." Theoden: "Shut up! I'm feeling insecure as a leader." #lotrbooktomovie
- Can't introduce too many unnamed soldier characters. The viewers might get confused. #lotrbooktomovie
- It's nice how the plot was changed so Aragorn can see the Uruk-Hai coming. Then we don't have to introduce unnamed scouts #lotrbooktomovie
- Gimli: "Aragorn, I'm so happy to see you!!" Aragorn: "I want to see the king, not you, dwarf man." #lotrbooktomovie

- "Booze!" -The Soldiers of Gondor #lotrbooktomovie

- Galadriel: Elrond, don't be a jerk, ok? #lotrbooktomovie
- Let us make Faramir shallow and weakhearted. #lotrbooktomovie
- Fun fact: in the books, Gandalf has one of the Elf rings. #lotrbooktomovie
- @cleverruhs Invisible nose plugs. #lotrbooktomovie
- How do people in movies cry without their noses running? #moviemagic #lotrbooktomovie
- But I don't really wish to be elegant. #lotrbooktomovie
- Elves shed only a single tear at a time. I wish I was that elegant. #lotrbooktomovie
- Arwen lies around feeling strongly, and this is somehow effective. #lotrbooktomovie
- I wish I had a horse to kiss me awake every morning. #lotrbooktomovie #YOLO
- I want a framed picture of Saruman's face when he yells, "To war!" #lotrbooktomovie
- Wormtongue: "What sorcery is this?" Saruman: "Mine." #lotrbooktomovie
- Tolkien: industry is evil. #lotrbooktomovie
- #YOLO unless you are Gandalf. #lotrbooktomovie
- Helm's Deep, not really any safer than where you came from #YOLO #lotrbooktomovie
- Eowyn's hair is different in every scene. #why #lotrbooktomovie
- @ZachariasMeints What a twist! #lotrbooktomovie
- Lessons from LOTR: falling doesn't always equal death. #moviemagic #lotrbooktomovie
- Thus ends the life of Aragorn. #lotrbooktomovie
- Gimli is my favorite. #lotrbooktomovie
- Legolas, gymnast extraordinaire. #lotrbooktomovie
- Why is Eowyn the only lady with battle training? #lotrbooktomovie
- Hama died much less nobly in the movie. #lotrbooktomovie
- Movie makers: let's add an ambush and a near death experience. For fun. #lotrbooktomovie
- Arwen switching to English when she's upset makes no sense. #lotrbooktomovie

- Arwen: "I believe in you." Aragorn: "I'm having extra angst for the movie." #lotrbooktomovie
- Aragorn: "Talking to that lady makes me miss my lady." #lotrbooktomovie
- I think Aragorn was smoking too much of whatever he was smoking. Arwen is here. #lotrbooktomovie
- Eowyn: "I made you food. Aragorn: "This is awful, lady." Eowyn: "Really?" *swoon* #lotrbooktomovie
- Eowyn: "Wait, you're really old." #lotrbooktomovie

- Dwarf women sound wonderful. #lotrbooktomovie
- Here we go! #disctwo #lotrbooktomovie
- End part one #lotrbooktomovie
- @ZachariasMeints switch to the second disc!! #lotrbooktomovie
- Movie makers: You know what would be fun? Changing Faramir's character entirely. #lotrbooktomovie
- Gollum: "I hate how you cook everything." #gourmet #lotrbooktomovie
- I really like how they show Gollum talking to himself. Except they don't change the color of his eyes. #lotrbooktomovie
- At this point in the book, everyone knew Gollum was treacherous. This just makes Frodo look stupid. #lotrbooktomovie
- This is so frustrating. Frodo you jerk. Sam, you jerk. This isn't who you are!! #lotrbooktomovie
- If I was a shield maiden of Rohan, I would totally wear pants instead of a dress. #practical #lotrbooktomovie
- Eowyn: *waving sword around* "OMG, Aragorn is here." *swoon* #lotrbooktomovie
- Aragorn: "I was raised in Rivendell....for a time." Eowyn: "He spoke. *swoon*" #lotrbooktomovie
- Aragorn: "Don't talk to me about elves. It makes me moody." #lotrbooktomovie
- Aragorn: "Guys, let me in. I know horse speech. Let the professional do his work." #lotrbooktomovie
- Aragorn: "I find that speaking in Elvish solves many problems." #lotrbooktomovie
Gandalf used to be my favorite character; but now that we're reading the books, Gimli takes the cake. #lotrbooktomovie @cleverruhs- So, in the book, Theoden went to war instead of avoiding it, leaving Eowyn in charge. #lotrbooktomovie
- Don't talk in front of the king, tiny girl. #lotrbooktomovie
- I hope Gandalf wasn't speaking English, because I have no idea what he just said. #lotrbooktomovie
- Poor Theoden. #lotrbooktomovie
- I forgot she sang. #allthetears #lotrbooktomovie
Aragorn: "No, enough blood has been spilled on his facebook account." #lolwut #lotrbooktomovie- So, comparisons between Theoden and Nebuchadnezzar are valid? #crawlingonallfourslikeabeast #lotrbooktomovie
- Theoden: "I know I look better, but I still sort of feel old. I know, I'll throw this guy down some stairs!" #allbetter #lotrbooktomovie
- Theoden grabs that sword like a pansy. #lotrbooktomovie
- Gandalf: "So this is how we're going to do this?" #bringingthepower #lotrbooktomovie
- It sounds like Gandalf just said, "AUTOTUNE!" #lotrbooktomovie
- In the book, the restoration of Theoden is way less dramatic. #lotrbooktomovie
- Gandalf: "I'm old, give me a break. HA! Secretly I'm just guilt tripping you." #lotrbooktomovie
- Hama! The best dude ever. #rememberHama #lotrbooktomovie
- I always thought that the Rohan music was beautiful. #lotrbooktomovie
- @ZachariasMeints Seriously. She knows how to handle a weapon. #lotrbooktomovie
- Eowyn: "Wormtongue, I hate that you're right." #lotrbooktomovie
Eowyn should just sock Wormtongue in the face. #lotrbooktomovie #problemsolved
@cleverruhs I don't, I want to be shorter. #lotrbooktomovie- I want to go to Fangorn and drink the water that makes one taller. #lotrbooktomovie
- In one final snub against Tom Bombadil, the movie makers put Old Man Willow in Fangorn. #lotrbooktomovie
Sam: "Don't trust him." Frodo: "I trust him." Gollum: "I trust me, too." #lotrbooktomovie- Gollum: "You don't ask, I don't tell." #howitworks #lotrbooktomovie
- LOTR lessons: Bad guys wear eye liner. #lotrbooktomovie
- Frodo: "When I said 'gate,' I was sort of picturing a garden gate." #lotrbooktomovie
Gollum: "idk y u wanna come here, u cannt get in." #lotrbooktomovie- Movie makers: Let's give Aragorn extra angst. For fun. #lotrbooktomovie
- Poor Treebeard. :( #lotrbooktomovie

- Gimli, don't go around putting everything in your mouth. #orcblood #lotrbooktomovie
- Why do the wraiths get dragon things? #unfair #lotrbooktomovie
Gollum: "Don't follow the lights." Frodo: "YOLO" #lotrbooktomovie- Someone: "Don't do this thing!" Frodo: "I'm going to go do that thing!" #lotrbooktomovie
- Gollum: "So, I forgot to mention it, but there are dead people here. Dead Marshes. Yeah. Makes sense, right?" #lotrbooktomovie
- Gollum: "I wish there was a crunchable bird to eat. Guess I'll go eat worms." #lotrbooktomovie
Sam: "I miss hearing the pretty birds." Gollum: "I miss eating the pretty birds." #lotrbooktomovie- Fun fact: John Rhys-Davies plays both Gimli and Treebeard. #lotrbooktomovie
- I wish Treebeard laughed in the movie. #lotrbooktomovie
- Pippin: "Wait. What am I holding on to?" "Entnose #lotrbooktomovie
- Fun fact: Treebeard's booming voice was probably inspired by the voice of C.S. Lewis. #lotrbooktomovie
Aragorn, the grass whisperer. #lotrbooktomovie- Aragorn: "This is obviously Hobbit-trampled grass. Hobbits trample very specifically. #lotrbooktomovie
- Eomer: The guys who owned these horses died. Hope you don't die. #lotrbooktomovie
- Aragorn: "We've been running for days." Eomer: "Whoa." Aragorn: "Is that a horse rider joke?" #notamused #lotrbooktomovie
- Gimli, you tenderhearted friend of mine. #lotrbooktomovie
- Legolas: "Don't threaten mah BFF" #lotrbooktomovie
- An elf, a man, and a dwarf walk into a bar... #lotrbooktomovie
- Legolas, pro weatherman. #lotrbooktomovie
Legolas: "Pretty sunrise = death." #lotrbooktomovie- Uruk hai: "Hobbits are prisoners, not food!" #lotrbooktomovie
- Thank goodness there's a mature orc in the group who keeps the hobbits from being eaten. #lotrbooktomovie
- Orc: "You hobbits look delicious!" #lotrbooktomovie
- That signature is terrible. #lotrbooktomovie
- Wormtongue: "Why do you bring our land's troubles to the leader of our land? #lotrbooktomovie
- Why would you trust a guy who looks like that? Wash your hair, Wormtongue. #lotrbooktomovie
- Evil dudes: "Burninating the village." #lotrbooktomovie
- Saruman conducts breeding experiments, creates creepy Orc-men. #urukhai #lotrbooktomovie

Legolas: "THEY'RE TAKING THE HOBBITS TO ISENGARD." Me: : What did you say?" #lotrbooktomovie- Aragorn: "You guys, I'm getting a bad vibe from Rohan." #lotrbooktomovie
Aragorn: "I feel the earth move under my feet. I feel the sky tumbling down, a-tumbling down." He actually wrote that song. #lotrbooktomovie- Aragorn pauses in the chase to sing a rousing rendition of 'O Gondor, Gondor!' #lotrbooktomovie #scenestheyleftout
- That moment when Aragorn and Legolas don't let Gimli sing for Boromir's 'farewell boat party.' #scenestheyleftout #lotrbooktomovie
- Piggy back ride!!! #lotrbooktomovie
- Frodo: " Take us to the Black Gate." Gollum: "This is why you should never promise before you know what people want." #lotrbooktomovie

Sam: "I brought seasoning to make things taste better." Frodo: "Stupid Sam, wanting things to be nice." #lotrbooktomovie- Sam: "My knots are fancy.... Uh...." Frodo: "Ahahahaha" #lotrbooktomovie
- Sam: "I might catch chickens in Mordor. It could happen!" #lotrbooktomovie
- Frodo: "Why do I always have weird dreams about Gandalf?" #lotrbooktomovie
This is unrealistic. The pressure change would have crushed his little wizard body. #lotrbooktomovie #gandalf- I always hear Gandalf say, "Flobby, you fools!" #lotrbooktomovie #gandalf
- Let's watch Gandalf die again! Everyone loves that part, right? #lotrbooktomovie
- We should have actually started with the last 20 min. of Fellowship since it's really part of Two Towers. #lotrbooktomovie
- And we're off!! #lotrbooktomovie @cleverruhs
- @ZachariasMeints Aww, you're already saying 'pop'! I have today and coffee! #iamahobbit #lotrbooktomovie
- Got a cold pop, pretzels, and cheese. I'm ready. #lotrbooktomovie @cleverruhs
- About to start watching The Two Towers!! #lotrbooktomovie #huzzah
- Special features commentators: "The Two Towers: which are The Two? No one knows." Maybe the two we visit in the book? #lotrbooktomovie
- Special features: "If you've read the books you know we've changed almost everything." #lotrbooktomovie @ZachariasMeints
- Special features commentators: too many speeches in the books. #lotrbooktomovie @ZachariasMeints
- #lotrbooktomovie starts in about 30 minutes with @ZachariasMeints! I'm totally watching the special features while I wait. #nerd
