But I can't get into it! Such a slog for me.

I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

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.

It is a totally different vibe from the LotR.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I had to force myself to finish the damn books.

Always Anti-fascist!
I liked the Hobbit, but found that the trilogy went better if I read about every third page...it seems like they walk faster that way.

Good strategy, but you're never going to learn Sindarin that way.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I found that LotR works much better aloud (yay, rah, audiobooks!), which I attribute to his epic-esque writing style.

Time to re-read all of them again, I think.

But I can't get into it! Such a slog for me.
My two disparate authors who I cannot get into, though I have tried and tried, are Tolkien and Jane Austen.
The movies based on their books, however, I quite like.
Some Lit. major I was, huh?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
