The...fifteenth time through?
I'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.
