Why LOTR is hella boring!
I think I'm weird. Wait. I AM WEIRD! I'm the ONLY person alive who hasn't watched a full movie of THE LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy. Ever since the first movie came out in 2001, I've only managed to watch bits and pieces. 15 minutes into the movie, I start to doze off! Since the movie is 3 hours long, I wake up in between, watch a bit more of what I can't follow, and doze off again! It's happened sooo many times! I've tried watching the same movie on HBO, at 10 in the morning, and I still end up sleeping! I've tried taking coffee while watching the movie, but to no avail. As much as the rest of the human population say that LOTR is the greatest EVER, I just can't relate. I've never seen it. (Fully, that is) And I have concluded that LOTR is waaay too boring. For my nerves, for my attention, for me.
The LOTR marathon started on Monday. Daddy, Tolkien's BIGGEST fan alive, wanted to watch the first movie, "The Fellowship of the Ring." Since this was one of those rare moments where I actually get to watch something with my family, I was determined to stay awake! But by the time Saruman revealed that he was on Sauron's side, and the wizards had this "mini war," I was already catching some zzzz's.
Tuesday night. Time for the second movie.... This time, I was REALLY determined to stay awake. I made my sister tell me the story of the first one... the ending at least, so I could understand a bit. She did, and I was able to follow what was going on. Again, I dozed off! But this time, it was 30 minutes into the movie. An improvement I say! But not enough to make me watch the whole thing, and be able to relate to my LOTR fanatic friends.
Now it's Wednesday, and tonight, I bet you a dollar Daddy's gonna end the marathon with the last movie, "The Return of the King." This time, I'm REALLY gonna watch this, and STAY awake. Watch this space for updates on how that goes.
*Now I wonder why it was never this way with Harry Potter. I loved the three movies shown so far, and I never fell asleep once. Maybe it's the fact that I "KNOW" that LOTR is 3 hours long, and I "KNOW" that I can't keep still for that long. Purely psychological? I don't know... But weird? Hell yeah! LOTR fans could kill me if I say that I found their movie b o r i n g! But hey, StarWars? Goodness! If I fall asleep 15 minutes into LOTR, I fall asleep when the "Copyright" thingies are first shown. StarWars? Haha! That's ONE BIG BLOG!
