TTT + MST3K/VSD + hypnotizing video games + crazy Moldovan music + Freud = a very amusing evening

I went with Matt, his friend Luke, and Monty (Malvolio in last Spring's 12th Night) to see The Two Towers again, and it was again wonderful. We kept a VSD-inspired running commentary, with hints of Monty Python thrown in for good measure.

Frodo wakes up next to Sam:
All: ::uncontrollable snickering::

The trio things Merry and Pippin are dead:
Aragorn: Nooooooooooo!
Me: Stellaaaaaa!

Legolas backflips onto the horse:
Matt: Score! Legolas ownz gravity!
Me [Legolas]: gravity is my biznatch!

Gandalf banishes Saruman from Theoden:
Me: I think the most fun aspect of this movie is seeing old men beating the hell out of each other.

Grima and Saruman check out the army of Oruk-Hai:
Me [Taco Bell Chihuaua/Grima]: I theenk we need a bigger box.

Arwen: No, but I want to stay!
Luke [Elrond]: But my forehead says otherwise.

Saruman plans the assault on Helm's Deep
Matt [Saruman]: Now, if we were to build a giant badger...

Legolas: 17... 19!
Matt: ...and still the prettiest!

Orc runs with the flame
Me and Matt: It's the Olympic torch!

Gimli: Toss me! Toss me!
Me [Aragorn]: I'm sorry, I don't feel that way about you...


A splendid time was had by all.

After the movie, Monty had to go home, but Matt, Luke, and I headed to Gazebo burgers. I haven't eaten there in years -- not since Lower School, where we occasionally went there after soccer games. T'was better than I remember it. Anyway, we enjoyed our burgers, while Luke sat entranced, staring at a video game, whose "All Your Base"-worthy captions said:

Alien: You my friend, give me Earth!
Hero: No!! Go to Star!!
Alien: Why not
Space, bomber scramble

Too funny.

After dinner, we sat in Luke's car and listened to his CD of crazy Moldovan music, including a song about Gypsies vs. Aliens and another about the Moldovan national dish. "This is the best ode to an almost-solid thing I've ever heard!", Matt said.

We also discussed recent movies (Equilibrium's cross + swastika = crosstika, I suggest), my apparent recent designation as HP Inner Circle (with confused thanks to Percy Weatherby), colleges, Red, White, and Swing, Vimes' birthing hips in my card for Mon, and other related topics.

Good times.
