We got the ‘Two Towers’ DVD
last night.
We in no way could attempt to watch all of the content on the video.
It’s something like 10 hours of video(that’s a guess).
The movie itself is almost 4 hours long.
Four hours.
That is like half a days work watching a movie.
To put it in perspective, I could probably fix up to 5 bugs in that time at
work.
I might be able to go to dinner and a regular length movie in that time
period.
I could wash one of our cars and clean it all out and start on the other and
maybe finish it in four hours!
And to top it all off, Jessica suggested we watch the movie last night.
So we started it but only watched about 30 minutes.
Speaking of which, one of the worst special effects parts is when they
approach the burning pile of orcs and there is an orc head on a spear.
The orc’s head has its tongue out as if its making a face.
True, heads usually make faces, and heads aren’t much without a face, but
still it seemed rather out of place.
It was as if Bozo the clown had stepped in while Peter Jackson wasn’t looking
and tweaked it a little.
It makes the paranormal tracking of Aragorn seem a little silly with that
face out in the open as it is (I listen to rocks for clues of things going
on miles away, but don’t pick up on horses going after the same group).
Anyway, I won’t pick it to pieces as it is a fun movie and heck, I could be
one of millions of people who bought the movie making Wingnut and Jackson
just a little richer.
You do realize that they’ve made enough money from the first movie
to cover mostly all of the expenses so whatever profit there is from #2
and #3 is profit.
They should make The Chronicles of Narnia next.
Resting in Him,
