I'm going to have to keep my eyes closed for almost all of the Mirkwood scenes, aren't I? I haven't read The Hobbit in forever, but I do remember Bad Things are in it.
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I'll sit with you, Jilli! My least favorite part of the book!

Large Bad Things, yes.
And many of them, right? I think that is what the key difference between my being able to watch RotK and say, the second Harry Potter movie.

That part of HPatCoS I always skip since the time I innocently found the movie on TV and didn't know what was coming!

I know exactly at what instant I need to hit the "skip" button TWICE. If "skip" is hit only once, it drops you straight in the middle of that section. DO NOT WANT.
(Yes, Pete watched the DVD right after we got it and figured that out for me. He is a very good husband.)

I wish I had a Pete to look out for me!

While I'm a firm believer in confronting certain fears head-on, and I continue to try to do so with the awful things that are being spoken of, I respect anyone's decision to NOT do the same. I think a traumatic encounter with a particular issue of National Geographic back in the 70s had a LOT to do with that.
There was another issue of NG that put me off of ANY critters with TOO MANY LEGS, but that's another story altogether.

I'm actually able to handle naturally occurring incidents, but don't like the mental images of the monster sized ones. Oh and there is a popular remote control toy one that I have a lot of trouble with.

WHAT? Oh, that is so not a good idea for a toy. I can't even ... eeeugh.
