???? The War of Rohirrim — I was on a bit of a Lord of the Rings kick, reading the books then watching the Extended editions. So of course I had to see this. I tried to see in theaters but I just missed it, so streamed it. I thought it was good! A perfectly fine story and I was happy to get to hang out in Middle Earth on fresh terms.
???? Weight For It —Amazing podcast about being fat from Ronald Young Jr. It is somehow both deeply personal and, I suspect, private feelings experienced by most fat people. Certainly a lot of yep, that’s how it is from me. It was a recommendation from a Search Engine Podcast show.
???? Flow — This is that dialog-less animated movie about the animals learning how to buddy up and get through stuff. Absolutely beautiful. I found it weird choice to make it a little sci-fi-ish rather than just near-future Earth. Maybe they just didn’t feel like weighing in on climate change and all that, but eh, they kinda were anyway.
???? Yacht Rock: A DOCKumentary — An enjoyable hour and a half such that I actually know what Yacht Rock is rather than faking like I know what it is. (It’s Steely Dan, basically.)
???? A Complete Unknown — I listened to the soundtrack first and was like meh Timmy don’t click for me as a fake Bob. But the movie rules. I was very into it even the mega awkward nerd dad energy of Edward Norton / Pete Seeger.
???? Silo / Severance — That day where Apple aired the end of Silo Season 2 and the beginning of Severance Season 2… good job. Very into both of these.
???? — Reading has been all self-helpy and not interesting enough to share.
I had seen The Two Towers this summer in a theater through a Fathom special event. I would have liked to have seen all 3 but only worked out to see one in theaters. It was great to visit Middle Earth on the big screen. So I jumped at chance to see The War of the Rohirrim in the theater also. I loved being able to visit Middle Earth again through a different style. I felt the film was in vibe with the culture of Rohan.
Yeah that’s a long time to be in a theater if they were doing the extended versions!
