Hello and welcome! Sorry you got the goofy version of my movie comments- I said anything vaguely serious in a longer post a couple of days ago. Not that that version was especially serious either...
Galadrial calls Aragorn "Elessar" in the extended version of FOTR. It's a very sweet scene, she cups her hand around his scruffy jaw (::swoon::, I've got a thing for dark men and beards...) and tells him "I will not see you again, Elessar." It's a beautiful moment.
Ah, thanks very much. I thought I vaguely remembered that, but it's been a while since I've seen that EE and I couldn't be sure. I'm glad, though- I was getting concerned that he only ever hears that name in a "Come to the Dark Side" context, so I'm happy that there was Galadriel for a counterweight. I definitely need to watch that again soon.
I too, missed the 'dark breath' - doesn't it look as if Faramir is suffering from an arrow wound (or two) and not the "dark arrow" from a Nazgul? And I missed the scene where Aragorn wakes Eowyn up terribly. I'm already anxious to see the extended version!
Yes, I was wondering about Faramir's wounds as well. We know that, whatever his wounds are, he still requires a laying-on of hands from the king, because there are pictures of that scene floating around (as well as the one of Aragorn and a sickly-looking Eowyn), but is that because of the malevolently mystical qualities of a Nazgul-inflicted wound, or because of a couple of plain old orc arrows? I'm curious to see what route Peter Jackson takes. November and the EE seem so far away!
