LOTR

I finally saw Lord of the Rings tonight.

*yawn*

It was...long. But it's taken from Tolkien, so how can it be anything but, right? It was very pretty, and very convincing. And it was THE GAYEST MOVIE EVER. But I can't get into a movie that affords me little opportunity to drool over attractive women. That makes me the very personification of shallow, doesn't it?

*shrug*

It's not something I would go out of my way to see again.

Or, like I told crushw_eyeliner, it's not something I would fic.

I'm sure the movie loses something on the small screen. In the theater, it's much easier to be caught up in the action and the scenery, which is gorgeous. But yeah, not really a feast for lesbians.
My buddy Sharon and her boyfriend invented a drinking game while they watched. No, they didn't drink every time Sam looked longingly at Frodo. They drank every time the words Earth, Air, Fire, and Water were used. They had contemplated using "ring", but realized that would result in a ludicrous amount of shots being downed. As it was, they went through 18 jello shots and dug into the excess besides. Sharon promptly passed out by the end of the movie. Of course, considering she weighs *nothing*, I'm surprised she lasted that long.

Anyway, you might have liked it better in a theater, or you might have gotten a sore ass and been annoyed anyway. Knowing you, I'm thinking the latter.
Hugs!

There's no denying that it is Very, Very Pretty. The scenery, the makeup, the Elvish...it's all breathtaking.

It's the actual story that tends to make me tune out. To be fair, I could never get into to Tolkien. I always wanted to throw something at him -- I mean, really, who cares that much about Middle-earth? Not me.

But yeah, not really a feast for lesbians.

The five total minutes with women in them wasn't enough for me.

Amy and I were on the couch, irritating the hell out of Sara by MSTing the movie.

"Mmmmm, nice, young, tight Hobbit..."
"Don't worry, Aragorn, he's dead...but c'mon, his body's still warm!"
"What the fuck is this? A NAMBLA convention?"
"Wow, would you look at that? He wouldn't even have to get on his knees to suck him off, he's already at the right level."
"Hey, is that the guy that plays the vampire on Buffy?"
"No, that's a different blondie-bear."

Yeah, I'm kind of predictable, huh? *grin* It would have pissed me off that I paid money to see that. So it's good I waited.

As for a drinking game, I think they should have done shots every time a man looked longingly at another man. They would have been unconscious in minutes.
