Two Towers
EFF actually did go to watch The Two Towers, which was followed by an EFF holiday party. I enjoyed the movie, although I thought there was remarkably little material on Sauron. It might as well have been The One Tower.
The ending of the battle at Helm's Deep was kind of a cop-out; there's a cut at one point and then we hear people talking about the outcome, but we never see it.
Also, if Gandalf can defeat a balrog, why does he fight orcs hand-to-hand? For that matter, why are they not more afraid of him? (In the first movie, the orcs themselves all fled from the balrog. If -- and I know it's a bad assumption -- mightiness is transitive, or rather susceptible of well-ordering, they ought to be especially frightened of Gandalf.)
Aaron Swartz came along to the movie and our party, and I got to talk to him for a little while. Then he visited me, and was visited in turn by Leonard and Sumana, the honor of whose collective company I hadn't had for a while. I spent a fair amount of the time cleaning up, but I enjoyed the visit. (As you can see from Aaron's web site, he had an extremely busy schedule in California.)
