March 26, 2004 – LOTR – Extended version

I worked earlier in the week so I could take today off and spend some time with The Penpal at Hello House. We watched the Extended Version of Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. It was her first time to see the movie, and my first time to see the extra footage. The original is great, but the extended version is WAY better.

Fortunately, the Penpal really enjoyed the movie. Not liking Lord of the Rings is a potential relationship destroyer.

(2014 Update) 10 years later I would say that Scott Pilgrim vs. The World and The Princess Bride are the ultimate relationship movie tests. If someone doesn’t like those movies, please feel free to break up with them at your earliest convenience.

February 22, 2004 – Lord of the Rings finally

I FINALLY got to see Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King! Movies are usually released in Japan about 1-2 months after the North American release. It was a great movie, but I still like Fellowship of the Ring the best.

For reasons unknown I only had to pay 1200 yen instead of the usual 1800 yen admission fee. However, you won’t hear me complaining. Once again I love the fact that the major movie theater chains have reserved seating. This is something that theatres back home should copy. You can buy your ticket and not have to wait in line to rush into the theatre and get a good seat.

Due to being incredibly lazy, I ate Wendy’s twice today. Being homesick = more burgers than usual.
