Nah. proud to be a ferris bueller family. actually, all these "heady" people loved Lord of the Rings. i think we are too stupid to appreciate that type of mystical CRAP.
special effects were good. |
Whoa, now! I hate most of the big flix (Titanic comes immediately to mind). But as a reader of JRR Tolkiens series many times (starting in the 3rd grade), I was pleasently surprised with the movie. Although, as the books go, The Fellowship of the Rings was the slowest. I am anti-theatre (I prefer my home theatre), I saw Fellowship opening night last year! Buffy was equally impressed with the movie.

Got my Best Buy on at lunch. DVD player is in the car, ready to be hooked up. We had to take back Sopranos since it was due, but I think we will watch Monster's Ball tonight.
