I'm a Child At Heart (In More Ways Than One)

Two Towers, Two Towers, Two Towers, Two Towers!

The more people talk about something, the less I want to hear about it. Seems like more than half the LJs I read are talking about (Two Towers!Two Towers!Two Towers!Two Towers!Two Towers!) a darned movie. I'm sure it's good, I'm sure it's pretty, I'm sure the story in it is great, but I so totally do not want to see it. I do not even want to hear the name (Two Towers!Two Towers!Two Towers!Two Towers!) ever again.

The more people/groups push me in one direction, the more stubbornly I dig in my heels and resist.

I still haven't seen the first Lord of the Rings movie yet. I'm feeling less and less inclined to change that.

Yeah, I was thinking about Harry Potter as I was making that post. Maybe I'll go see it in a couple months, when no one's really going anymore. (Then when I say I liked it, you can all mock me and remind me of this post. :) )

Forrest Gump I fell in love with when I first saw it, then dragged my mother to see it, then dragged my sister, then friends... I'm not sure how many times I saw it in the theater, but I cried my eyes out every time. Funny, but for all my viewings of it, when I see it on TV I *still* cry if I watch it all the way through...

On American Beauty, the only hype I recall was Chuck raving about it (which was reason for me to avoid it, though for different reasons than in my post. :P ). Eventually I did see it, and was amazed. I saw it maybe a year ago, and I *still* think about it. If you have HBO, be sure to watch Six Feet Under. Same sort of magic in it as in the movie. (Same guy directed it or something...)

If it gets any attention like the last one, people will still be going to it. :)

I will! But only a little. :)

I have the DVD of Fellowship, if you ever want to borrow it. And I will not mock you if you decide you like it. I think it really is a movie that improves on the 2nd viewing, though, just as a warning. Or a heads up.

Heehee, thanks. I might take you up on it some day... when I have both a couple of hours free and the ability to sit still during them. :)

Erg. Forrest Gump.

I made it plain when this movie first came out that I did not want to see it at all. No inclination. None. Loved the soundtrack, did not want to have anything else to do with the movie.

There were, sum total, 4 attempts made to force me to watch the movie. The first was an 'ambush' (I was invited over to watch movies, and Forrest Gump was the intended subject of movie night.) The second and third involved me being sat on (I fell asleep). The fourth...three people tied me to a chair. I actually had to chew through twine to escape.

And people wonder why I'm so finicky about movie watching. :P
