Yesterday when I made the emo post, I knew I had actual content I wanted to post, I just couldn't remember what it was.
The content was this: I saw Two Towers yesterday.
Movie. Kicked. Ass.I actually rather enjoy coming to the movie without having read the book -- it means I can enjoy the movie for itself rather than judge it on what I think it should and shouldn't've encorporated. There are far too many LotR fans who seem to think that, because they've already read and loved and cherished the books, they somehow
own the story -- meaning any alteration from
their personal vision becomes
a personal affront. You don't own the story, people. I'm sorry. The movie's being different from the book does not make it a bad movie. It might make it a bad adaption -- again, I haven't read the books, I wouldn't know -- but it doesn't change whether the movie,
as a movie, was good.
Sorry. Soapboxing there. That attitude of ownership just tends to get to me.
( Some issues I had with the movie, hidden away here for sake of those who don't care/don't want to read. )Placed outside of the cut, so it's less likely to be skipped over... why was it punishable by death to enter that one pool thingy? Are they afraid of contamination getting into their Mid-Evian supplies?
