A friend once compared me to an extreme Christian, except I worship movies, so that’s neat.

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring 2001
I usually watch these every year but have not gone through them fully since 2021. Fool of a Took indeed! Even if Fellowship might not be my personal favorite of the trilogy, it’s the one that flows best and arguably has the sharpest script. To say Jackson and crew got the ball rolling in the best way possible would be an understatement.

Barbarian 2022
Still a blast! Read the script along with this (assuming it’s the first draft) and it’s fascinating to see what Cregger added and took away to make this wonderful meld of horror, laughs and thoughtfulness. Long is obviously great but more love’s gotta go to Georgina Campbell, just a really terrific screen presence and a great addition to the final girl canon.

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers 2002
Although I’m in favor of the theatrical releases for the first and third entires, even with some things in the latter I would have included, I feel the complete opposite about Two Towers. Middle chapters are so hard to get right and I feel the additional scenes only add to the expansive quality of the film. Not to mention, there’s more Legolas/Gimli, more Merry/Pippin, Saruman’s legendary “Gandalf the fool” comeback, and most importantly, the Faramir flashback with Boromir and Denethor! If I were to only include one deleted scene across the trilogy, it would 100% be that.

Oppenheimer 2023
Love, I cannot stress LOVE, that both this and Barbie were so packed and that everyone was completely locked in in each case. It’s a weird and honestly bleak time to like movies, but for this weekend, at least we can celebrate some wonderful stuff.
