It's probably a good thing that I'm going back to work day after tomorrow, because I've atleast three series of books (The Dark Tower cycle, Nightrunner, and Harry Potter) to (re-)read and, in the case of HP, take notes on. And then there's the late Christmas drabbles and of course NaNoWriYe, and none of that is going to get done when I'm at home, because I need to be on a train to really read.

And of course I will now need the books to distract me from the fact that as of 1 January, I can no longer smoke on the train. Fuckers.

In other news, I'm watching A New Hope, and man, I thought the special effects in The Phantom Menace were bad. Wow.

I thought the special effects in The Phantom Menace were bad.

So basically, you want to make me watch a movie with horrid special effects. *g* But what about the special effects in PS/SS, man? I saw the movie again two weeks ago, and I was so "OMG, this is bad". :: facepalm ::

They're not horrid, in fact they were really impressive back when the movie first came out. It's just that compared to LotR ... Yeah.

Exactly! I expect that when I'll see Aragog again, it'll be... "this is it?" *yawn* I mean, Shelob, now... yeah. And as I recall the special effects in PS/SS were also considered pretty good when that movie came out, though I can't be sure anymore.

No, those were cheesy even then. :p
