Finished watching Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers DVD.

I watched this over a period of three days, since it's so long. The visuals are stunning. The story is new to me, not having read the book series, so I can't judge whether the story is faithful to the original. Gollum is probably the most interesting character. He leads such an unpleasant existence, both physically and mentally, it's a wonder that he does not ask to be relieved of his misery.
