Jonbu the baker

Somehow my bed time became later and later as the week progresses. Like walking in mud you go deeper and deeper.

LOTR3. I think i expected too much out of it. Before I went in, this is what i knew about it:

• 11 Academy Award Nominations.
• #2 Top grossing movie of all times in the world.
• Japanese girls come out weeping from the emotional ending.

Things that I got out of the movie:

• Sir Ian McKellen is a great actor
• Legolas is COOL
• People in this movie are too often dirty
• Let’s all die more than once

(Legolas out did himself in this one. He is too cool)

So I went in thinking, “Okay, there’s at least one scene that will be very emotional, so I’ll just let it wash through me. I won’t hold back anything.”

Near the end of the movie, during a sad, calm scene, I started hearing sniffing.

“sniff”
“sniff”
“sniff” “sniff”

The process of thought that went through my brain:

1. “Hm?” (whats that sound?)
2. “ohh..” (it’s people sniffing.)
3. “what de..” (wait, why are so many people sniffing?)
4. “ooOOoh” (they’re crying… this is IT* , the crying scene)
5. “Hm.” (howcome i don’t feel a thing?)

my eyes were red and watery, but from staring at the screen for 3 hours, and yawning.

my rationalization: all the emotional scenes are built upon the strong friendship between the characters. i don’t feel that friendship
my god im fainting, i have to sleep
