I really haven’t had time to read. Once I do, I’ll review something here!
This song has a awesome bass line. I’m a sucker for rock songs with good bass lines. Another song that has a great bass line is ‘Are You Gonna Be My Girl’ by Jet.
Well, since I’ve seen this movie twice already, I’ll make this my movie pick. I feel like I’ve been anticipating this movie forever, and it definitely didn’t let me down. It was epic, beautifully filmed, and I’m happy with the way that the plot went. All the good stuff that people say about it is true.
However, it wasn’t my favorite of the three. That would have to be the first one. I usually like the first movies of trilogies just because they introduce us to the characters and the plot of the story. However, three did a great job in searching deeper into the relationships between the various characters. But the last installment to the trilogy didn’t wow me, as I wished it would. To me, no battle in ROTK beat the awestruck feeling I felt when I watched the battle of Helm’s deep in Twin Towers. Then again, maybe I’m just used to it now. But nonetheless, the movie was good. I loved it.
Though I could really have done without the pretty eyes that Frodo was giving everyone. By the end of the movie I was snickering every time Frodo would look at Sam. And I’m not really going to give anything away here, but that scene where the hobbits are on the bed, and Gimli walks in? I just about died. I could hear Dave whispering, ‘The dwarf is in on it, too?’ I know that hobbits are happy, loving people, but it was a little much!
With ‘Origin’ Marvel told us about the beginnings of the mysterious Wolverine, with a lot of big surprises. With ‘The End’, Marvel fast forwards way way into the future with Wolverine’s last story. How will he ultimately meet his demise? What are the last days like for a man with a natural healing factor? I don’t know if this series will answer these questions, but I hope it does. So far, we see in Wolvie’s future that he lives as a hermit, but that he has some contact with humanity, so fortunately he hasn’t turned into a rabid animal up in the Canadian wilderness. This is definitely something to read if you’re a Wolverine fan!
Dan gave me a 10lb block of Ghirardelli chocolate for Christmas. At about 270 calories per 1 ounce square or something like that, I should get my ass back in no time!
I’ve been so busy lately, I haven’t had time to myself. Hopefully after the New Year, things will slow down!
there were at least 5 different instances it looked like ROTK was going to end. they’d fade to black… PSYIIIIIIICHE!!!!!!! *sigh* damn i love that.
i heard there’s supposed to be 12 different endings, but i guess Peter Jackson is going to add the last 7 in the extended DVD.
…on Frodo’s eyes…
From The Two Towers:
Sam: “Tell me about Frodo and his great adventures!”
Frodo: “Frodo? What about Samwise the brave? Tell me about him. Because Frodo wouldn’t of made it this far with out you Sam.”
JUST MAKE OUT WITH HIM ALREADY AND GET IT OVER WITH!!!
Now we know why Sam m*****d Rosie!
actually, in seven nation army, jack tunes his guitar so that it sounds like a bass, but it’s not.
it’s a great album in general, actually.
