So yesterday I accompanied my excited husband and a few friends to sit through another 3 hours of ho-bits. I am glad to report that I was pleasently surprised. There was quite a bit-o-action in this one – so much so that I couldn’t find time to go pee. Instead, I sat through all three hours with legs crossed.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, my same two complaints remained. I still believe the whole movie was filmed with a single light bulb and one microphone. I spent more time squinting in to darkness and straining to hear what was being said. I actually gave up trying to understand the tree people. But they were fun to look at.<\/p>\n
Faster pace, less whining, and gollum was by far my favorite. I’m sure Kevin has more insightful thoughts on the subject but I’m afraid to get him started. Last time I asked a question, he brought out his map of the Middle Kingdom and began waxing poetic about the exact distance between Gondor and Rivendale or something. After about 2 minutes, I felt my eyes glazing over and the need to sleep was almost uncontrollable. Man, just writing about it makes me yawn.<\/p>\n
So if you’d like a 12 page (with index\/footnotes) diatribe about the movie, feel free to email Kevin directly. If nothing else, it might help you sleep!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
