well, that didn't happen

[orangerful]

My brilliant plan to start rewatching Lord of the Rings early, starting today, quickly fell apart. First, I forgot that Tuesdays were our game night. Then our friend cancelled so all seemed well, but Tim had to stay a little late after work so I was like "Oh I'll just wait for you to get home to eat dinner". He thought he would be home at 7, he didn't get home until about 8:30 :| So by the time dinner was ready and we had eaten, it was 10pm, which felt kinda late to start a two hour movie.

Sooooooooo NEVER MIND! I hear you, nerd gods, I will keep the LotR watch in its traditional present-wrapping place of December.

Speaking of things that didn't happen, I am an episode behind on Riverdale now, so that will be my breakfast show in the morning.

This week.

OH, also, I finally saw Wonder Woman...Gal Gadot is beyond gorgeous, but I feel like maybe the reviews built the movie up too much. I wasn't as blown away as I was lead to believe I would be. I'll post proper thoughts later, but if you posted WW thoughts that maybe had spoilers (so I didn't read them), I'd love to read them now! Better late than never, right?

I really liked WW, but I could see how the reviews might build it up more than what you experienced. It was just so powerful for me to see a woman in the lead role in a superhero movie, much like I felt re: Rey in TFA.

Yeah, I responded a lot more to Rey, but maybe that was because I was so surprised by her. Since I knew Wonder Woman was the superhero, I guess I wanted more from her? She was endearing and I did like her but I think it was just the shackles of an origin story holding it back from being more.
