Right after the reviews started coming in, The Onion posted the headline "'The Hobbit' To Feature 53-Minute-Long Scene Of Bilbo Baggins Trying To Figure Out What To Pack," and I thought, "actually, I'd totally watch that. I WANT to watch that! I may have issues."
From what bethje told me after we saw the movie last night, she would have preferred to have seen something like that over what we actually got. She liked Bilbo, but the movie itself not so much. I think there were times it needed to get to the point, and a few too many battles thrown in, but overall I enjoyed it.
And then later that day I was playing Scattergories with my cousin and we got Fictional Character Starting with B, and just like that I pulled out "Bilbo Baggins!" and BAM! Two points. (Of course, my cousin picked Bugs Bunny, so ALSO scored double points, so I didn't really get ahead. BUT I WAS PROUD OF MYSELF ANYWAY).
Funny, considering that I wrote about both Bilbo and Bugs in the past few days. (Yeah, I know this post is considerably older than that, but I put it aside until I watched the film.)
