why_me_why_notUnrelated, I understand why crime rates go up when the weather gets hot. Our A/C fritzed out over the weekend and I'm ready to murder someone. It is too hot to function.
Ronnie and I went to see Lord of the Rings at the theater this weekend - extended editions, Fellowship Saturday, Two Towers Sunday, Return of the King tonight - and I have all the feelings about it.
- I love these movies, I love going to the movie theater, and some things are just meant to be watched on the big screen.
- I'm glad I have I have a kid who is grown and still likes to go on movie dates with me. And who pays for popcorn and drinks.
- LotR was my gateway fandom. It's how I got started on LJ back in the day. It's extra special because of that.
- I watched all the dvd extras of LotR when they came out and it was cool to be in a theater full of other people who are on the same level of fanishness.
- There is magic in the world of LotR but for the most part, everyone is just normal, no super powers, just people (men, elves, dwarves, hobbits, whatevs) who are willing to stand up and persevere in the face of evil, and I think that is timeless.
- I just recently watched the Rings of Power and really liked it.
- I still wanna be a hobbit. Not one who goes on adventures, either, lol.
