I watched it

The Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King (Platinum Series Special Extended Edition), that is. OK, I've only watched the actual movie and one of the Easter egg things and I've got to say the movie is lovely. Nothing earth shattering added, but what has been added does improve the flow of some parts that needed something extra to explain what people who've read the books knew, and other parts are just neat to have. I give it two thumbs up.

I actually bought the gift set with Minas Tirith included. I bought the other two sets so I have the Argonath on my bookcase and Gollum nestled between my cable box and VCR so I definitely had to have Minas Tirith to round out the set. Right now it's still sitting on my nightstand in the bedroom. Of the three "gifts", it is the shortest of the lot but it has a nice weight to it. I'm not sure yet where its permanent home will be.

I really like my Christmas present to myself! I especially like it 'cause I've got it already!
