I'm watching The Hobbit on tv right now. I didn't hate it when I first saw it, although I didn't think it was nearly as good as LotR. But as something in the background as I sip an elderflower old fashioned and read Cold Comfort Farm, it's not bad. Sort of like having aunts and uncles talking about something while I read a book. Comforting.
Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

I'm willing to rewatch the first Hobbit, I haven't seen the third Hobbit.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I also saw Deadpool last night. I laughed a lot, but it didn't grab me. I think it wanted to be a darker Guardians of the Galaxy, but it didn't hit that mark for me. The minute I walked out of GotG, I wanted to see it again INSTANTLY. With Deadpool, I was happy to have seen it, but that's all.

Scrappy, that's pretty much how I felt about Deadpool.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I'll probably see it again, but it's not an instant urge like it was with the Avengers movies or Jurassic World.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
My brother saw Deadpool for the 5th time today. I think I'm good with waiting until it comes out on DVD before re-watching, but he's determined to find all of the 100 supposed Easter Eggs himself.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I saw Deadpool for the second time today and I appreciated it even more. I didn't laugh as much as I did the first time, but I was more focused on how well it works on a character and story level.

Sure! 2 oz bourbon (I used Bulleit), 1/2 oz St. Elder elderflower liqueur, 5 drops Anguestera bitters. Put in a glass, add a couple of ice cubes, stir, drink. I got the recipe from a tag on the St. Elder bottle.
