Well we trotted off to run a few errands. It turned out to
be one long arsed day. We thought we would catch up with the latest offering of
The Hobbit... in comfortable seats. It's a three hour long movie... comfortable
seats was a critical thing. That was where it all went a little sideways.
There were only two shows in the cinema with comfortable
seats; early in the afternoon which didn't leave enough time to run the errands
and late in the evening. We were forced to fill the time in between with
shopping.
Sighs it was a very expensive day...
However, He did find an eye chart that he thought one might
be interested in actually trying to read...
...and there was a very pretty and utterly unnecessary dress
that fell into the bag.
Mutters along with a lot of other items.
And the movie, though it did drift into stuff that in no way
made the story better... read events that didn't happen in the book, with
characters they made up... did manage to get one thing right. They nailed the
dragon with both feet. It was the thing that worried one the most when going
in. Having read the book several times since childhood, the dragon looked a
certain way in the mind. And there he was on the big screen... looking just the
way he should.
Beams happily

It is a Hobbit kind of week. I can't figure out why they needed to add all that extraneous stuff. And Thorin riding on a river of molten gold? He would have burned right up!
Yes. And let us not mention that whole romance thing they slapped in there. Apparently there was "too much male energy". FFS it's The Hobbit! It was the ultimate boys club.
The romance! Ugh. Yeah, that was pure cheese. I'm not much of a romantic I guess. Although it was fun to see her kicking orc butt.
