Singular Scene

So Singular in Each Particular

Lord of The Sheets

by

Being tucked up in bed for the 2nd time this week I decided that a trip to Middle Earth was long overdue.

Given that I hail from the modern equivalent it may come as a surprise to some that I have never seen the movies, (actually, bar the 1st one dvd some years ago…)

[quietly blushes]

So today, now that the mucus has moved from my head to my chest I have adjourned the telly to the bedroom and am watching Lord of the Rings from the comfort of my doona nest.

I have all 3 volumes.

And am watching them Back to Back.

Happily I only have the extended version of volume three or else I would be here all night as well, dreaming of Orcs and Elves.

At this point I am nearly through The Two Towers and Merry and Pippin are encouraging the trees to take part in the war.

I like it…

Indeed I do. And apologise wholeheartedly to Fi for having taken so long to partake!

    I’ve never seen the movies either, but that was more out of principle than anything else. Lemme explain: I KNOW that some books turned movies are really good, but the thing is, when I have read, reread, sniffed and loved books thoroughly, I simply refuse to see the movies made about them. Because no matter HOW good it is, and no matter how faithfully they’ve stuck to the plot, it’s always just a little less spectacular than I had imagined it when I read the books. So therefore, I shall not watch the Lord of the Rings, or Harry Potter, or a whole host of other movies based on books.
    My, but that makes me sound stuck-up! I’m really not! I also don’t want to sound like I’m critical of other people watching “book-movies!” Besides, all in all the book-movies are good for the literary industry in that they up the sales of the particular book. And selling more books is never a bad thing!
    Anyway, more… no MOST importantly: I hope you feel better soon! In the mean time, hopefully you’re not too sick to enjoy your bit of sick leave!

    Perfect viewing for those of us under the weather, with lots and lots of time to spare ;)

    Unordered – what? Deeleea, if you ever have the urge to watch the extendeds, I have all three … I have to say the extra bits in No 2 especially make SUCH an amazing difference (yes, I’m a tragic, I first read them at age 10 and probably at least once a year since ..)
