This 'n' that

Only three more questions left to answer on my December Meme, unless someone else jumps in and asks another unexpectedly (which, let's face it, ain't too likely, seeing as how I'm hearing echoes around here. Hellooooo-oooo-ooo-ooo!)!

Saw the final Hobbit movie today, which wasn't bad enough to warrant a scathing review like the one I wrote a year ago for the second one, but there were a couple of scenes that were so over the top, I was like, "Wow, people are gonna be chortling about these for years." But it was enjoyable, in an old-Hollywood sort of way, and I like over the top, so it didn't bothuh me. Hot damn, the Thai food we ate after was hot! (I requested mild, but the chef didn't take any of our requests into account for some reason. I picked about ten hot peppers out of my dish--same as my buddy, who asked for his "extra spicy." Hmm ....)

And I just wanted to thank those who left me love on the Love Meme--all those comments are still sitting in my inbox so I can read them whenever I need a lift. Thanks, guys. <3

Glad it was a good outing! :) Though I loved the second Hobbit movie--if, admittedly, mostly because the first one was so disappointing I was just like, well, fuck it. XD I'd gotten stranded in Atlanta due to the polar vortex, which let to me getting to meet (and stay with!) a long-time fandom friend for the first time; I ended up seeing it with her because she'd made plans to see it with a friend. So GRANTED it was probably the circumstances rather than the film that I liked, but I remembered it being Hollywood ridiculous, so it's good to know that the third one is enjoyable even more so, it sounds like. It's kind of tragic, because the LotR movies were so good, but on the other hand I'm just like /hands!! I think never having read The Hobbit helps me out a lot with that detachment, though.
