LOTR

[crankylex]

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'd really like to see My Big Fat Greek Wedding. I've only heard good things about it. And to me, Harry Potter felt slower than LoTR. There was just something lacking in it, even though there were a couple of really good scenes. I hadn't read any Tolkien except the Hobbit many, many years ago, and it was really easy for me to get caught up in LoTR. Actually, my whole family loved it, and even though Sam dozed off a little bit, he wanted to see it again right after. I'm curious to see how it plays on the small screen, though. I think I'll borrow my stepdad's dvd, because I'm not buying it until November when the extra footage is added.

Oh, and I don't see anything wrong with tragic romance, skinned ex-lovers and overly dramatic lesbians. But that's just me. I wouldn't be surprised if there's already a movie with those elements out there somewhere, though.
