Last night, I saw The Hobbit. As you'll recall in my last post, resolution #8 was to watch all of the Lord of the Rings movies this year.
I decided to embark on this unexpected journey (hint: that's an inside joke from The Hobbit!) whilst I was at a dinner party and everyone started talking about how they couldn't wait to see The Hobbit and I was like: eh.
Then, the more I thought about it, the more I realized that when there is a cultural phenomenon happening, you don't just stand idly by! When my kids are like, "mom, I can't believe you were alive when The Lord of the Rings movies came out!" I don't want to be like, "actually darling children, I didn't give a crap about the world around around me." What kind of example would that be?!
So, a few friends and I braved the San Francisco weather (it was absolutely pouring, not my fave!) and headed downtown to one of my favorite theaters, The Metreon. I LOVE this particular movie house because it's absolutely GINORMOUS (the technical term I believe) and is totally gorgeous and makes me feel like I am really doing something special for the evening. Which, for $16 a ticket, it better!
My pals and I decided to see the 3D high frame version (as if I even understand THAT) but boy was I glad we did. The movie was SO CLEAR and bright and beautiful! And since she's quite a long adventure (like, almost 3 hours) it was nice to be in front of such a delightful picture.
So, the movie was GREAT! I had a million questions, which I refrained from asking during the film (albeit for a few) but that's okay. I figure if I'd read the books I would have understood more, but whatevs. I was just surprised to find out there's a different between hobbits, elves and dwarves. Like, who knew?
