The...fifteenth time through?
Apr. 14th, 2012 01:32 amI've lost count really, because it's been 11 years and my memory has never been that good. Also, the number is high. And what's more, I'm not sure where I lost count of the regular films vs the extended editions.
But does it really matter? These films are still amazing even 11 years and 15-who-knows-how-many times later. They always will be. I hope the two Hobbit films can be added to that taly, because five is just so much better than three. I am so looking forward to the day I can watch them back-to-back-to...anyways.
So many things have happened to me since 2001. So much has changed. And yet every time I watch these movies it's like nothing has. I still remember sitting in that theatre the first time. I still remember reading the books (again, the first time, but also the fifth, sixth, seventh...) I think these will always be the things I can look back at and feel that pull to. The memories of my life frozen at 19 every time I put one of the DVDs in. Which is sort of a nice concept to think of, really.
I'll always have that.
