if i write this and no one reads it,does it exist? *chuckle*
what would it take for me to actually go out and see a movie?
a chunk of time in which i didn't want to do anything else,that's what.or really really wanting to see it.
neither of which is happening in the case of the two towers and needless to say,any other movie,because if i'm going to see a movie it would be two towers and i still want to see it...i just don't want to go right now.
not that anyone's forcing me to go! it's just strange that i've been on this lord of the rings kick for a few months now and here is this brand spanking new lord of the rings movie and i'd rather stay home in my cozy little nest and read and work on some creative projects i have in mind and do some writing,maybe fiddle around with my ridiculously modest website. of course i have tons of chores to do as well,but if i really wanted to get out,i'd find a way to get them done.
so,i'm perplexed as to why i've lost my intense interest in lord of the rings,especially with all the hype. well,i haven't totally lost my interest,and i've heard people raving about two towers,and some who were disappointed as well.one person said the helm's deep battle was too long.i can certainly imagine that. i think just hearing about how this movie was going to be so focused on helm's deep put me off a bit,because i'm really not that interested in it. i'm sure it's a great movie,but i'd rather watch a tv series set in hobbiton. it's the hobbits that i like so much,especially merry and pippin. maybe i should go to see that part and leave early and skip the battle stuff,which i'd heard is at the end. i'm sure the gollum/frodo/sam stuff is going to be psychologically fascinating as well. i just have a tough time sitting in a movie theatre for two hours never mind three. thank goodness for video and dvd,because i'd have missed some great stuff.
i really wish i had more time. i think part of the difficulty for me of spending three hours at the movies is that i get out i'll want that chunk of time back for all the things i could have done in it. the days are too short,and it being the holidays they seem even shorter because there is so much more to do. i am much happier than i have been in years though so i'm enjoying a lot of aspects of it.
i wake up in the morning and i'm so excited to have a day in my own place by myself and do what i want (well,and things i need to do,but it's much more pleasant without other people around.) i can go out if i want to,though in truth yesterday when i was thinking of going to see two towers i was wracking my brains trying to think of someone to invite along. my social circle has gotten so dusty most of it has just crumpled. i'd definitely have asked my sister sara but she was going with my sister rachel last night,plus she's gone for the day.i wouldn't stay home from the movies for lack of someone to go with,but it's just more fun with a friend.
the last time i went to the movies was in june to see attack of the clones and i mostly wanted to see it for ewan/obi wan. i took my mother along because she wasn't getting out much. i was cool with spending time watching a movie because i had a week's vacation at the time.
yes,i do know i'm weird. unfortunately i haven't seemed to have found my particular subculture/tribe and even though i like living alone,i love going to work and being with friends there,so i'm not 100% antisocial...i just like hanging around the house by myself some of the time.
here ends my defense of why i probably wont' go see two towers today.
why i'm defending myself i have no idea. it obviously isn't normal to be perplexed about why one doesn't want to go see a particular movie they really do want to see. and yes,it makes sense to me...someone once wrote a poem about me and my paradoxical nature. or was it contradictory? ha. whatever.
just rambling.

the end of the story is very powerful. there's a lot i dont' remember about the books,and i tend to like to read (or in this case,reread) books AFTER seeing the movies of them,so i don't know if i'll hold off for return of the king until next year. then again,it takes me ages to read books because i'm usually doing a million other things too. right now i'm almost done rereading fellowship.i read it almost 30 years ago and always meant to reread it but never did until now. i'm pleased to say that i love it as much this time 'round...it's as good as i remember it,which is wonderful.
: )
thanks again for your note!
