Wednesday, December 17, 2003 Today I am feeling: 
Books I am reading: none right now Games I am playing: the university of life bureaucracy game 
Mmmm ... elves! And Smeagol and Gimli and Aragorn and Arwen and Merry and Pippin and Gandalf and Samwise and Frodo, oh Frodo and Bilbo ... oh man, I think I am now hobbit and dwarf and wizard obsessed in addition to elf obsessed. LOTR III opened today and I of course, had to put off my last remaining bit of homework to go see it at 10am this morning, thinking oh, no one will be out this early right? Wrong! Apparently I am not the only elf-obsessed one in this city! Anyway, didn't get very good seats [off to the side, I hate off to the side] but still was ok. One word of warning though, or actually two: Do not go see this movie if you don't like to cry in public and for Saruman's sake don't drink anything! You might have to pee and you might miss something! That said, I liked the movie, bits were boring [endless battle scenes, I'm a girl, ok?] and some parts were briefer than I'd like or even cut from the book, but all in all a spectacularly beautiful film with some moments where I found myself asking "How the fu... erm heck did they do that?" which might not be good cuz it took me outta the moment but damn, some of the special effects were awesome. And the ending ... ah, the end ... or ends ... oh man, this movie was so sad even the biker dude sitting down the row from me was crying. Let's just say Peter Jackson has just taken over the top spot of "Master Emotion Manipulator" from Stephen Spielberg. The end was sad, happy, beautiful, painful and altogether marvelous. I give this movie 7 1/2 out of 5 stars. I'd give it 8 but some of the battle scenes just got a bit long for me. But the other stuff almost made up for it, and it was so good it got bonus stars for cinematography, music, and emotion. Oh! And I even understood a couple words of Elvish! Yay for me! Anyway, I gotta go recover now. Then do homework. Grrr ... maybe I'll do my homework while watching the first two films again.
