I’m talking - environmental themes // da man Tom Bombadil // Ralph Bakshi // vintage paperback covers that look like a prog album sleeve // Ents ?!!
I find this inexplicably charming + also really have come to enjoy the extent to which Peter Jackson adapted this “vibe” more than he adapted the books with 100% fidelity
the book is a comforting winding surfy 420 haze and I think the movie is decent too
(staying on this thread because this is also my fave genre of book and I need more)
that guy can really do every character they didn’t even need to make a movie I don’t think personally. ive been falling asleep to this and then waking up and starting the chapter over because I missed everything
probably my favourite film series of all time and rewatching for the first time since “before midnight” came out in 2013
let those themes of the transience of lived experience + the weight of time’s passage deepen and resonate more truly for you baby!! Reflect on the person you were then and the person you are now! All that good stuff …
I’m not talking about the dish itself,
as wonderful as it is
but instead the absolutely optimal level of effort required to prepare it that makes you look like a proper home cook + impress your loved ones without making a mess of it -
plus - the consistent stirring puts me in a nice meditative trance, very pleasant for someone not generally taken to the idea of cooking being a relaxing activity
