I'm just wondering if anyone else, like me, was pretty much completely unmoved despite wanting to enjoy the spectacle.
Heh, the only LotR movie I was able to watch in its entirety was the third one, and that was only because I was in the theatre. When I tried to watch the first two at home, I found myself fast-forwarding through the interminably long scenery scenes (yes, New Zealand is indeed very pretty. No, I do not care enough to watch a three minute landscape shot), and the repetitive battle scenes, where I couldn't keep track of who was who, and who was fighting who. Plus, even though I knew the reasons, I couldn't quite figure out who the characters were, and what they were doing there.
I am glad that they won an Oscar, only because the director looked disheveled. It makes me proud to see people wearing ugly clothes at the Oscars, but that might just be because I couldn't care less about fashion.
As for the flist thing... I've seen people with 300+ people who list them as friends, and I can understand why they don't automatically friend back. Even though it still kinda hurts my feelings when they don't.
