So Long, PJ, And Thank You For the Visuals...

...but please, please, do stay away from The Silmarillion.

So I went to see The Battle of the Five Armies on Christmas Day.. The she-balrgogling loved it. Me, I almost fell asleep in places.

LOLOL! Yes indeed there was. I was bored in the first movie - all those unnecessary battles slowed the movie down - i still have not watched all of the second movie. Not sure I'll ever get to this one when it comes out on cable or PPV. But I reread the book before the first movie and it renewed my love of ME and my favorite hobbit, Bilbo.

ETA - this comment was supposed to be to the end comment about there being a book! Sorry...

I was thinking about you and your great insights while thinking about all this stuff... So first, happy Christmas in its deepest sense to you. You were in my thoughts on Christmas Eve

pJ really does miss the greater whole, that the individuals were part of something bigger than themselves. This is such an important theme of Tolkien.

I'm sorry to read that. I'll keep you in my thoughts. Hope it eases up soon.

Tolkien has always been a personal preference for me, fandom or not, but the movie was definitely not good
