Monday, December 18.
Willkommen.
History was made on this day, twenty years ago. The last installment in The Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Return of the King, was released in cinemas. It grossed over $1.1 billion worldwide, making it the second highest-grossing film of all time. It won all eleven Oscars for which it was nominated, including Best Picture (the first fantasy to do so), at the 76th Academy Awards. The sequel to 2002's The Two Towers, and the completion of the story started by The Fellowship of the Ring, it was a cinematic landmark and a pop culture behemoth. Like its two predecessors, the film was widely acclaimed by critics and loved by audiences across the globe. But they were, all of them, deceived—for another film was made.
In 2004, Dominic Monaghan, the actor alias used by renowned German film critic Hans Jensen, interviewed the trilogy's star, Elijah Wood. In these nine bracing minutes of footage, Mr. Jensen probed his interviewee on the matters of the day: losing time within yourself, kicking balls, dolphins, and the wearing of wigs. It makes for quite remarkable viewing almost two decades later.

back on my trc shenanigans
my thoughts on finishing trk under the cut!
i’ve been mulling over finishing The Raven King for like two months now oops (life was busy etc etc) and i was thinking of writing an essay on my thoughts but i might be too tired for that
so TLDR; i love the trc series. in my top book series for sure. BUT as for trk, it wasn’t as much a satisfactory ending as i had hoped for (tho pynch was a highlight), and i wasn’t a fan of the opal side story
mainly i hoped for more hype and space for Blue/Gansey as their arc felt diminished next to Adam/Ronan. also, i wasn't feeling Henry as a character (he could have been replaced by Kavinsky, essay #2) nor some minor plot things
it was still a thrill to read and i’m happy i’ve now read the whole series!! idk if i’ll pick up Call Down the Hawk but i will forever appreciate The Raven Cycle for getting me excited about YA again! overall books 1 & 2 were my favorites in the series c:
