LOTR, Pt. III
I finally saw the Return of the King. I didn't like it quite as much as the first two - it departs from the book more than I liked - but it's still marvelous entertainment. Some people have complained about the multiple endings, but I liked them (except for the absence of Saruman's scouring of the Shire and its rebirth).

It's been raining a lot and when I left the theater I expected to walk out into a downpour. Instead, the sky was clearing after a fresh rain. I walked through Bookshop Santa Cruz and saw a rainbow to the south as I came out the back, the clouds low and gold in the west in the setting sun.
