What Movie Did You Just Watch

So tonight I saw Desolation of Smaug again in the theaters, this time went with my dad who loves this franchise just as much as I do (lucky we did because our theater isn't showing it anymore after tonight, apparently). I do think it's noticeable how much better this movie is than the first one. And I do stand by my opinion that it's good they went with a more dark and serious tone akin to the LotR franchise, rather than trying to find some sort of serious/light hearted compromise like the first movie did. One thing I've taken note of, seeing it again, was that it's implied that Sauron isn't a literal eye. But rather, all that time in the LotR movie trilogy, that was actually his spiritual form standing atop Mordor, engulfed in flame as if to appear as an eye. We just didn't know it back then.

Wait...Steve McQueen is still alive?

Wait...Steve McQueen is still alive?

Not THAT Steve McQueen. There's a director with the same name.

So Steve McQueen is dead?

So Steve McQueen is dead?

Since 1980. He died kinda young.

Kind of figured he died a while ago.

Tonight I saw Steel for the second time... yeah, the movie with Shaq.

I still love that movie. It's undeniably entertaining. Also, Annabeth Gish gives a legitimately good performance as the character Sparky, who happens to be a well done character with some awesome superhero abilities.

Shaq's two bad movies, Steel and Kazaam, are some of my all time favorite bad movies.

Very cool! Hopefully it ends up showing here, my dad would love to go.

Tonight I took the time to watch Ralph Bakshi's Lord of the Rings.

I think my life has officially jumped the shark.

[Avaitor]

So Philip Seymour Hoffman.

[gunswordfist]

Yes, I can't believe it. A sad way to go and far too young.

[Avaitor]

Speaking of Hoffman, I was going to add Capote to my Netflix queue, but I saw that it will be streaming next month, so I'll wait for that instead.

R.I.P. One of the best actors of all time.

Tonight I took the time to watch Ralph Bakshi's Lord of the Rings.

I think my life has officially jumped the shark.

I fell asleep watching it. The second time I tried, I fell asleep yet again. Thing is, I really wanted to give this an honest watch and couldn't do it. Bakshi's stuff tends to be paced a little on the slow side. And..... probably my bad for trying to watch it on late evenings.
