the adventures of Froyo and Sam-Is-Crying-Again?!

Over the break, I watched a lot...of birds....

No actually I watched a lot of TV. Started and finished season 2 of Blacklist. Started Gotham but it was too creepy, and finally, all of the extended Lord of the Rings movies. We would've watched the regular length ones, but Isaac took those. Psssst Isaac. Wanna send those back or..it's not like we have 12 hours to just sit and watch TV. 

Wait, we do! Er..we did. "We"=me and Ellie.

For the record, I have never watched all three Lord of the Rings movies in one sitting, much less the extended editions. We did take breaks. It took us 2.5 days to watch all three. WOOF. My CBS came back with a vengeance (if you don't know what I'm talking about, here).

Throughout this marathon of eyeball-frying leisure time, I recorded everything Ellie said. She has a lot of questions and opinions on basically everything. I only sort of regret introducing her to Star Wars.

"Is Froyo Bilbo's son?"

in regards to pretty much every difficult task in the films: "Can't Gandalf do this?" She said this like some women say "Can't I talk to a manager?!" 

"Maybe orcs should kill people with their disgusting looks, cuz they have terrible aim."

regarding Sam (who slowly was renamed Sam-Is-Crying-Again and then Yes-He-Really-Is-Crying-Still): "I didn't know a man could cry. This is ALL over a ring?!"

As Cate Blanchett/the elf witch read Frodo's mind (you know that weird scene where she turns fluorescent green and her voice drops eight octaves): "Like when Voldemort talks to Harry Potter!"

regarding this line ^^: "Like at bedtime!"

regarding Sam's gift from Cate Blanchett/elf witch: "What did he get from Lady Gaga? Er...you know, the lady who gave everyone fancy stuff."

"Is the guy who created this movie Mormon? Christian? The director of...um...you know, the guy who put all this emotional stuff in here...what's his name?"

anytime Gandalf's spoke: "DUMBLEDORE! The second."

At the end of the second movie when Sam/Frodo get to the valley before Mordor: "Is that Uruguay?"

in disbelief: "So elves can French braid then?"

"Does Gandalf have to make such a big scene?"

regarding crazy-eyed Frodo when he refuses to throw the ring into the lava: "He needs therapy."

regarding a conversation between King Theodin and Éowyn: "He says such encouraging words. And...he's her UNCLE?!" (idk why this was so hard to believe)
