#they are not perfect

Guys, you know what? I re-watched the Hobbit trilogy for the first time since it came out! My thoughts 10 years later? exept that I’m getting old

The Bad- it was such a mistake to film the movie in 46f, it just looks so fake. When you’re spending most of the time wondering if you’re watching a movie or a video-game it becomes too distracting. (It reminded me of Zack Snider´s style in 300, Sucker Punch, Men of Steel, Justice League… not something I want to see for this world). The CG orcs look ridiculous and distracting. This time around though I was less grossed-out by the hinted at “romance” between Gandalf and Galadriel, and able to view it more elven-platonic, but it’s still weird. The romance between Tauriel and Killi though still happened too quick, wish it was only become true by the end of the last movie.

The Good- love the dwarves, love Bilbo, love Bard and his children, love the visual designs for Erebor, Laketown and Mirkwood. One of my favourite scenes is the conversation between Thorin (already suffering from dragon-fever) when he discovers Bilbo looking at an acorn he picked up along the journey, it is a beautiful conversation and incredibly Tolkien. My second favourite thing is just the relationships between Thranduil, Legolas and Tauriel- this is a deeply emotional arc that I completely forgot existed but which was incredibly well done. Thranduil policy of isolation and coldness gaining a new light after we learn what happened to his wife, Tauriel calling him out and then the conversation of “If this is love, I do not want it. Please, take it away from me. Why does it hurt so much?” while she mourns Killi and his answer “Because it was real.” while coming to terms with his own painful grief… ��� The fact that Legolas was not just another petty jealous Daeron, but, even though heartbroken to have lost his heart on a love that will never be returned in the same manner, he continued to defend her in front of his father and support her in all her pursuits.

y’all just— thinking about how excited Stanley must have been to host the twins— Alex says he smokes cigars but he doesn’t smoke once in the show— has a beer gut but he only drinks sodas in front of the kids— doesn’t swear when they’re around which must have taken INCREDIBLE effort— Stanley Pines, known crook, buying pancake mix at the supermarket and many bottles of syrup— learning to cook basic healthy meals and burning so many of them before he gets it right— buying new sheets, new mattresses— avoiding bunk beds because it reminds him of Ford— looking at the attic room he made wondering “is this enough will they like me”— trying to act aloof at the bus stop so he doesn’t betray the fact that he was there hours early— watching them goof around and thinking of New Jersey beaches— then the first night they’re there, he watches them debate running away and only stay because Mabel shook a magic 8 ball. That must have kept him awake all night.

i love being married to a straight guy. this morning we were parallel chilling and i glance at his computer and he's watching a drill fight tournament. as in, guys attaching drills to the same rod and turning them on until one breaks. to find the strongest drill. jose noticed me staring and rolled out of the way so i could see the screen. he knew every drill brand and told me their quality and price. i watched the whole thing without comment. the violence was enchanting. i never would have found this. he's a vector to an entirely alien, often beautiful, world.
