Yeah, I had people over to watch the LotR over the past few Saturdays, too. Still love the lighting of the signal fires.
Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
DH and I rented the old Rankin Bass animated Hobbit off of iTunes over the weekend to compare the two. By time spent to get to that point in the book:
PJ: 3 hours
RB: 20 minutes
And the R-B film has lots of leisurely musical numbers!
Break the bowls and chip the plates!
That's what Bilbo Baggins hates!
Where there's a whip, there's a way!
Psst. That's from R&Bs Return of the King.
Rodgers and Bernstein's?
Rankin & Bass.
Awww! My StuntHusband is taking me to see a special screening of Auntie Mame on the big screen tomorrow night! (He is the Vera Charles to my Mame Dennis.) He just sent me a text confirming the theatre and screening time, along with the comment "We will be in a room full of faggots. Dress to impress."
Maybe we'll find him a boytoy for the holidays.
I went with IMAX 3D for my Friday Hobbit viewing, I completely forgot about HSF. I wonder when I should try to see that...
