Recent ruminations
Dec. 26th, 2005 10:47 pmI have come to the conclusion that I can forgive PJ for all his atrocities because he brought Howard Shore together with LotR!
The soundtrack is amazing. The last time I watched FotR, I thought I heard a little hint of Gollum's song when Gandalf saw Bilbo's map at Bag End, but I wasn't sure. Now I am.
Watched "Ringers" tonight--(Cut for spoilers)the bits with the hokey sixties type art and animation were a bit overdone, but I enjoyed Dom's narration. You could tell that he's not tired of LotR, and that he still has a love for it--all of them seem to still have a love for it. But it was a hoot watching the fans, and I wish they'd done more of it. The lady who has all the action figures was fun, and I loved the bit about fanfiction, as the one person was trying to explain Mary Sues and slash, and then when they started quoting "Very Secret Diaries" I was giggling like a loon.
But what really had me ROTFL was during the credits, the two women trying to explain why hobbits would be better lovers than Elves. I was just dying, that was *so* funny, and sounded just like LJ!
It's been a nice day, very quiet, considering I had workmen in the house most of the day.
