wolfsbrideGood God. I think I'm obsessed. I'm going to babble more about the LotR movies. It's all Viccy's fault.
Okay, a little background here. I've never read Tolkien. Actually, that's a lie.
I started to read the FotR but I never finished it. I think I was about 14 or 15 and I just found it too confusing. All the different characters. All the different places.
So when the movies came out in the theatre, I still had the perception of my 14yr old self. I was all Tolkien??? Blech! I figured only people who were devoted to the books would want to go see the movies. And since that was not me, I did not imbibe.
Then I came here and Viccy was all I have this little movie I want to show you. And I thought, well... it can't be that bad if she likes it. So we watched it. And from then on I was doomed.
I remember the two of us counting the days until the dvd of TTT came out. We watched that one and I was even more doomed. I've seen them both four times now and I both respect and loathe Peter Jackson.
And mention not the third and final movie.
I want to see it and I don't want to see it. I think it will kill me. Or at the very least drain me emotionally.
I keep thinking I should go see it in the theatre but only after the big rush is over. So that noone but the usher will see the blubbering wreck I surely will become.
