I can’t help it. I enjoy the Lord of the Rings movies. but it wasn’t the story that originally drew me to them. I don’t know if I should be admitting this…..
See… Elijah Wood is hot AF. I don’t know what it is about his face but seriously… since my first Elijah Wood movie, I’ve been hooked. Every time I hear about a movie he is in, I want to watch it.. especially back then.
This afternoon, I am revisiting one of his movies…. because it’s being streamed.. in a discord I am in… because I am weird AF. And yes, I absolutely was watching Star Trek: The Original Series yesterday.
Yes I have a copy and I could absolutely watch it at my own leisure… but I’m trying to get out and meet people… or at least… chat to more people. Don’t ask me if I’m lonely…
So I am watching this stream… with strangers… and the commentary (from them) is hilarious… Gandalf winks and they are off – was that a wink?! – oh yeah, Gandalf totally knew what he was doing – I never saw that before and I’ve seen this movie so many times! – oh just wait for Eowyn’s moment…
It’s amazing. These people are funny and kind and genuinely nerdy. could these be my people?!
We laughed over sick burns that Saruman makes… and suggested improvements to completely pointless film points… just because. We chatted about Gollum – Did you know that the actor who played Gollum wasn’t able to be nominated for an Oscar because it was a CGI character?! How freaking ridiculous is that?!
We all had a good giggle about Gimli asking what was going on – Shall I describe it? OR get you a box?? – classic! Loved it. Nineteen. Then… of course… Toss me… we ALL erupted in laughter.
chats and emails… It has been truly relaxing afternoon.
It was a great afternoon chatting with some people I’ve never met, who are also into the same nerdy shit I am. because that is sorely missing from my life.
I hope the next movie is just as awesome! This could end up being my Saturday’s for a while…
Till next time.
