So we finally decided to chill out, grabbed a few dvds and enjoyed the final of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy 'The Return of the King'. I love a bit of good old fantasy! Particularly sophisticated fantasy made by a director who I knew from films like 'Attack of the Killer Tomatos' and 'Meet the Feebles'...
Anyway it got me thinking that I really would like to go through and list my favorite movies and books. Especially books. I love so many and some have made a huge impact on me. So when I have a 'free' moment next (ha ha!) I would like to go through my book case and list my faves. It'd be a walk down memory lane too. I love it how remembering a book can zoom my mind straight back to the time and place I read it, what I was thinking at the time and where I was at in my head.... Anyway blah blah...
I really did enjoy watching the movie with Daz. We used to do it all the time. Big movie buffs. I'd like to prioritise more time doing things like that together...
And we're looking forward to the day that Rox and April are up for movies that have more meat (for me and Daz, purely selfish) than Little Einsteins, Barney and Barbie's Thumbelina. Rox has always been really super senstive with stuff she watches so she's quite picky. Shows need to be very nice and NO scary bits. Even the Barbie Thumbelina was a bit much. The first time she watched I sat with her and we paused and I explained any confusing or angry bits to her. She'd been admiring the cover of this dvd in the shops for ages so when I found a copy on special I got it for her. Wow was she thrilled! So she was quite determined to see it! She eventually likes to watch things a million times if it appeals at all, which is what she did with this one. Now she's pretty over it, and has a new obsession with Bindi the Jungle Girl and other Animal shows!
