Looking Back

is the theme to - day

I'm rewatching ' the Hobbit ' , all 3 parts. MovieTime has a marathon going on and it is a marathon. One segment that recorded was 3h 30 m. ( w/ commercials , probably w/out commercials if they didn't edit )
Gandalf saves the Dwarven ( don't use that word much , do you ) company.
Thorin the leader says ' Where were you ?
Gandalf ( wizard ) ' Looking ahead '
T:    ' How did you know we were in trouble ? '
G :  ' By looking behind '

I've mentioned this interchange before ( but looking back , see ! )

And at the same time , while ellipticking downstairs , I'm watching the boxed set of ' Fellowship of the Ring '. For the first time , I'm watching ' all ' the discs including ' making of '. The disc is 3 1/2 h
.... thats right , the length of the movie that I mentioned above.

Did you know that a Weta is an New Zealand insect. Give you a clue , the heaviest insect in the world. Yepper , its big.
Weta is the name of the digital effects studio in New Zealand

Time for brekkies and finishing the Hobbit Pt 2.

Stay real

P.S. ' Battle of the 5 Armies ' is raging on - 45 min left

Sun is out and wind is stirring the trees
Summer magic , for sure

five armies : dwarves , elves , men , orcs
and
pick'em : bats , eagles , Beorn ( bear guy ) - an Army of One ( US military motto )

seven armies ?
