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

[thistlechaser]

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.

I won't push you to see either movie. It's your loss if you don't. :)

(However, I seem to recall you being mildly ambivalent about Harry Potter until you actually read the books, too. And now you're considering action figures :)

I had a similar reaction to Forrest Gump. And even though I finally did see it, a year and a half later, I still didn't like it. Didn't hate it, but didn't like it.

OTOH, American Beauty, which everyone hyped to death, *was* that good.

To each, his own.

Sounds like us and Harry Potter. We resisted and resisted because we wanted NO part of it, then we read the books, and -hey-, we really LOVE Snape and Lupin.

So... ^.^ Maybe go with the flow, once in a while.

Heh...

Wow, this coming from me, of all people...

But okay! I think you should wait! Don't see anything. Not yet. Nope. Don't see Fellowship, ignore Two Towers, forget all about it! Wait until Return of the King comes out. Then, if you feel like it, watch Fellowship. If you like that, see the others. But at least then you won't have to wait another freaking year if you end up liking it. And if not, oh well!

Hee, just my opinion. I'll go back to hating Jackson for releasing one movie a year, and squealing like the fangirl I am over Legolas... ;)
