phineasjoneswhen listening to j.s. bach's music, i often have the feeling that everything makes sense and all is well.

dear california,

kindest regards,

i accidentally started rereading the two towers. ok, it wasn't completely accidental. but home town was boring the stuffing out of me and seeing fotr and ttt back to back on sunday developed in me an intense desire to be in the world of those books again. and i recently(ish) reread fellowship and stopped there. so, despite my promise to myself to read new things instead of reading the same few books over and over... here i am. and i like it here.
we watched the two theatrical versions back to back on sunday. while i prefer the extended fotr, seeing the original was like visiting with an old, much-loved friend. it brought me back to those fridays in the almost-empty theater. when i couldn't stop just going back and going back to see it again and again. and... everything is so happy and light at the beginning. it's really rather heart-breaking to watch them together like that. to really feel everything getting steadily darker. whew. trilogy tuesday is going to be... i don't even know. it's going to be something i can't even anticipate.

Date: 2003-10-07 07:49 am (UTC)I could watch FOTR again and again, too. And I'm not like that with many movies, even movies I like. I sort of prefer the original version, though. I like the shorter prologue and the introduction to the Shire without Bilbo working on his book and losing it over the Ring.
And you're right about the fun of seeing the movies in a nearly empty theater! I got to see TTT like that once, and I so enjoyed just being absorbed in my own reactions, not hearing other people laughing at Gimli or Gollum when I wouldn't.
