I love dogs. I miss my dog. She is in New Orleans, and not long for this world, according to Mother.
As to TTT, I don't hate it, I in fact think it is a very good movie and has some truly amazing shit in it, but I do agree that I simply don't love it the way I did FOTR. FOTR had... a unity to it that the second movie couldn't retrieve, and TTT for all its coolness did strike a couple of false notes.
I think the difference here is that I think that lack of unity was unavoidable to a certain extent, and am waiting to see ROTK before judging "the middle child".
(Also, not being particularly wedded to the source, the only change that bothered me unduly was the lack of Ent-draughts, which I understand is reinstated in the extended version anyway. And I actually liked Sam's speech.)
