i found these today when i was looking for alphabet stamps . . .
look at the dates on those. . .
apparently, ben and i saw the first Lord of the Rings movie on 1.19.02 and then we went to Black Hawk Down the next night! possibly some sensory overload!
i remember being in awe of how well the Fellowship of the Ring was cinematized. and ben had never watched a fantasy film of any sort before - he was impressed, as well.
then, Black Hawk Down. what an intense movie. i started crying at the end of it. after all the suspense and the horror and death during the mission, at the end they run out, past people and children cheering them on . . . and i cried. and cried. and cried. for about half an hour. and then we went again not quite two weeks later. ben had a friend in town who wanted to see it. so, i went again. and i cried again. but, thinking about it now, i'd watch it again. i wonder if i'd cry now?
and Punch Drunk Love. oh my. what a weird movie. really weird. we both have really enjoyed adam sandler movies, but this one was just. so. strange.
anyway, funny i found these today. ben a i rewatched the Fellowship of the Ring this week. A bit each evening, and i was thinking i should reread the series. we'll watch the Two Towers next week. and then the Return of the King. it was fun to watch a movie together, even in bits and pieces. (though these movies are nothing on a small computer screen compared to what they were on the BIG theater screen!)
i'm off to try a new chocolate chip cookie recipe. if it turns out well, i'll share it with you. :)
