Renewed love for the Lord of the Rings
Its Lord of the Rings fever again, i can't get enough of it. Many people think i'm such a foolish guy, being crazy over lotr, i have to explain it yet again, as i've done before in previous posts, but i'm not tired of doing it. The guys are busy mugging for their exams, but its ok just to use the com for a while right? So honestly, like when i see movie fans, singer fans, movie star fans, i also think they are crazy, but your time will come, one day, you'll be specially attracted to a movie, or a singer, or a movie star, or an author. Just like in the past, i was amazed at those screaming fans who idolize singers, and spent money, and they'd die to go to their concerts, so naturally, i think they're crazy, maybe cause i don't like that particular singer, but when you do like a particular singer, you'd surely want to go to his concert. Like John Denver, but he's dead, like engelbert, but he ain't coming to s'pore, but at least Lobo is in singapore! But i never really heard his songs.
So its the same for me, although i watched the first movie before i read the book, which might not qualify me as a tolkien fan, but still, i love it till now. Till now, after showing the movie to people, forcing them to love, it after, watching the movies countless times, after indulging in their songs, trailers, games and spending hundreds on their movie memorabilia, i'm still not bored of it, and true fans aren't bored of it too. Maybe perhaps the game keeps my lotr fever still on, and its just everything about the movie, Lotr is everywhere, i hear their song, i see their trailer, its everywhere, everything reminds me of lotr. I just pick up the book ms huang bought me, a huge book with lots of questions, and i find a question i cannot answer, and then i research it, either with the book or on the internet, funny isn't it, but when you're a fan of something, you spend hours researching it, hours customizing your stuff to show people your love for it, in fact, my blog skin was supposed to be full of gandalf pictures, but i don't want to bother ray, maybe till the holidays.
As i've shown the movie to my friends, they have been unable to see the massive love that exists between characters amidst all the blood and gory stuff, all the war and violence, but there's peace and tranquility in the shire, in the gardens of rivendell, and there are massive bonds among the people, everlasting friendships and love. Most importantly, its about leaving the shore of the sea, at the Grey Havens, to the undying lands, its all so peaceful, with the warm glow of the sun, and sailing off towards the undying lands.
Anyway, i got a supertrailer from one of my lotr cds and transferred it to the com. Then i put it on youtube and was surprised to learn that i'm probably the only one on youtube to have ever got this vid, no one has seen it before, and the real fans start commenting on it, although there aren't many, but it has been viewed for a good number of times, and some of the fans claim that they've even cried watching it, so i suggest you cry too, its a good trailer, and i suggest, you let the blog song finish its song before you play this trailer..
Enjoy
