17 Hours and counting

In 17 hours, I’ll be sitting in the movie theater, watching the last Hobbit movie. I’ve been waiting for this all year and it will all be worth it. I’m both excited and a little sad. It’s the last movie of the three and also because I know how it will end. I don’t know if I will cry. That’s something I don’t do. But you never know.

I did some Hobbit spotting today (a.k.a. street posters) and of course I didn’t have a camera with me to prove it. I spotted 2 with Gandalf on a bus stop and one with Tauriel. It’s no big deal really. I have no idea why I’m telling you this 😀 It’s “just a poster” anyway. Not the actors themselves. I’m just so excited. Last time I was this hyper about a movie was Lord of the rings. There will never be another one like those.

My year in blogging (part 2)

This is the 2nd part of the countdown.

June
Writing 101 started and so did my new feature One Line Sunday. One sentence only. It hasn’t really catched fire yet. But Halt and catch fire did. For a while. I learned what flash fiction is and how to write lyrics. Also that you can write something reasonable with 50 words only. Writing challenges really are useful.

This month I got confused. To see Guardians of the Galaxy or not. One thing was for sure, I would go and see Monty Python’s last show at the movies. Not only that was fun. Also tennis player Novak Djokovic winning in Wimbledon made my day.

It wasn’t much of a shock that I would see Guardians of the Galaxy after all. But it was a shock to hear Robin Williams had died. He was such a wonderful person. Unlike those smelly cats, smokers.

It was a slow month. All I managed to do was watching 2 new TV shows, True Detective and Legends. Much more excited than Halt and catch fire. Sorry fans and Lee Pace. What was even more exciting was the first meeting in Helsinki Design School. Will maybe write a “report” how the studying is going. If I have time.

I made my 200th post. I also went to see Into the storm and no it didn’t have Lee Pace in it even thought I wrote about him. Something terrible did happen. The F1 driver Jules Bianchi crashed heavily and there still no sign for recovery. That’s an awful blow to a sport that is supposed to be safe and no one shouldn’t get hurt. Forza Jules.

The long waited 4th season of Game of Thrones arrives. Online though. It wasn’t as painful as going to the dentist which was a pain to get an appointment to. But that’s Finnish health care for you. I reached 200 follows which is a record for me. Thanks for that. It isn’t the last goodbye. Expect for the 3rd film of The Hobbit: The battle of five armies. This month also the first signs of winter arrived to Finland which ended as quickly as it came.

And here we are, last month of the year. Still a movie to see and a school meeting to go. No one knows what else it will bring.

The Last Goodbye

Only 14 days to this.

Good things come to an end. It feels like it was only yesterday when The Hobbit: The Unexpected journey came out. Now it’s already the 3rd movie. How time flies. The Battle of the Five armies should end with a few tears. It was so in the book. I’m sure the whole movie’s gonna be great. I’m already waiting for it impatiently. I’ve tried to stay away from spoilers because I want it to come as a surprise. Even if I’ve read the book, it will be interesting to see how the movie is gonna be like.

This is the last goodbye. As sad at it sounds, it’s not really a goodbye. There will always be the DVD’s or Blu-Ray’s. But as a movie trilogy, it’s the end. There will be no more. Unless someone gets the rights to Silmarillion. But that probably won’t be the same. I haven’t read it so I don’t know what to expect from it. Maybe it be better if it won’t become a movie. These movies should be the end.

I really enjoyed the movies. I’m really glad I have witnessed movie history. It started with Lord of the rings. After I’ve seen the extended versions, I don’t want to watch the theatrical versions anymore. One of these day I’ll watch every extended versions, from The Hobbit to Lord of the rings. Maybe not all at once though. I just love these movies so much. Peter Jackson is finally getting a star on Walk of Fame. He truly deserves it. We salute you, Peter.
