I havent actually seen the movies,, and I really really want to i’m sure i’d love them. I thought it'd be fun to read the books first tho. I’m about 2/3 of the way through and ive been reading it for a couple months now. Its taking me a while, which I expected, but i’m really enjoying it!! has anyone else read the books before watching the movies? If so, did you read all three books then watch all three movies or watch book 1 then movie 1 and etc. at what point did you read/ watch the hobbit?

i‘ve had a late 20’s lotr awakening.
watched all of the movies last year for the first time and DAMN do they hold up. special effects still dazzle, good balance of humor, viggo mortensen looking the sexiest a human has ever looked on screen.
read the first book slowly over several months while reading other books alongside it. the songs can be a bit much but it mostly slapped. i was surprised by how much it moved me.
finally finished and sprang for the uncut version the next day. simply an excellent use of time!!!!! will never forgive them for omitting tom bombadil and goldberry tho.

my copy of LOTR (fellowship) is coming in the mail tomorrow and I couldn't be happier. I read The Hobbit back in january so let me know if the main “trilogy” lives up to it! it’s fun to buy things that mean something. it’s also fun to buy silly things. I can’t wait.

Anyway honestly the biggest thing for my rn is mariokart world. i’m like a huge mariokart fan,, I got super into 8 deluxe a couple years ago, and still looovveee it dude.

Forget money. give them their favorite candy. Bake them some cookies. Wanna spend nothing? Draw them something cute. use your skills!! take them to the park!!
