Let me just declare once and for all that my favorite series ever is Lord of the Rings. Star Wars may have an excellent story line (and Han Solo is the most badass ever!) but the characters and worlds of LOTR are so intricate and wonderful, and I love it.
It's funny to because once your branded as enjoying Star Wars, it's just assumed by all that it's your all-time favorite. I get so many meme's and shirts and videos sent to me because it's Star Wars. And it's great. But I don't think anyone has ever sent me something about Lord of the Rings. Maybe it's easier to hide LOTR fan-ness.
I'm watching Fellowship of the Rings tonight and it's the best. (Okay, Two Towers is really the best, but just to be watching Lord of the Rings is awesome). I watched Desolation of Smaug last night on DVD and I must say it's a heck of a lot better than the 1st Hobbit movie. It was quite enjoyable. But I wish Peter Jackson would watch his LOTR series so he could be reminded that a good movie doesn't require over-the-top effects. This is a beautiful movie, where the effects enhance what's going on, they don't try to compete with it. (I mean, applying CGI to Legolas in the Hobbit is inexcusable. He's flippin' gorgeous. What are you doing?!?!)
Anywho. This is awesome. And I'm so ready to be done with the Harry Potter series, so I can move on to the really really really really good stuff.
