The Hobbit, and other feels

Yesterday was my final exam, and I would just like to point out that I NEVER HAVE TO TAKE ANOTHER MARKETING CLASS AGAIN THANK YOU JESUS. I am not playing, y'all. I hate marketing. I really do. It (the exam) wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be except for some tricky wording, I was a little harsh on my group critiques (more on that later, maybe), and now I'm finished.

But y'all know what was also yesterday? THE MIDNIGHT PREMIERE OF THE HOBBIT. I promise you, seeing The Hobbit was the only thing getting me through my Thursday. I went with my friends, Widge and Mo, and when I tell you that Widge and I have been waiting on this movie for 10 years I am not playing. Literally the best way to end exam week is seeing a movie you've been waiting to see for 10 years.

And it was so good! For the most part I was very pleased with the script. The book is like, 75 years old so there's really no such thing as spoiling it but I'll spare y'all a full review. Just know that Elrond is a sassy sassy Elf lord, their weave/wig technicians are the bomb[dot]com, and I have so many Thorin feels I don't even know what to do with them.

For real y'all. Thorin Oakenshield. I have lots of feels for him and his barely contained rage. I mean, I'm not gonna write any bad fanfics like I did in middle school but I'm not mad at anyone who does.

I'm probably going to see it at least two more times over Christmas break. Because I'm dedicated.

But we can we talk about The Lone Ranger movie and how they have Johnny Depp playing Tonto for just a second? Can we? Because that's that stuff I don't like. Y'all mean to tell me you couldn't find one Native American actor to play a Native American? You couldn't? In all of North America you couldn't find not a single, solitary Native American who is also an actor to play a Native American character. And you, Johnny Depp, couldn't have decided as a human being that it's probably not a good idea for you as a white man to paint your face up and speak broken English and, you know, act Indian? I can't with you. I 100% cannot with you right now, or probably ever again.

That has been bothering me since I saw the preview last night. I may or may not have said, "Why is Johnny Depp dressed up like a Native American?" in the theater. Sorry I'm not sorry.

Okay. That was my second. Not gonna lie: this may come back up later. You have been warned.
