Why watch old movies?

It'll make this Lord of the Rings parody much funnier.

I love how the credits say: "Gowns by Marie." That's such an old movie thing! I also think the casting of Smeagol was the most brilliant decision Howard Hawks has ever made.

Seasons Readings (this post needed a title so it wouldn't get swallowed up by the other post above it)

The snow has kinda put it out of my mind at the moment, but whenever March rolls around, and brings the faint whiff of Spring with it, I have the sudden urge to read The Lord of the Rings. What's funny is that whenever December rolls around, and with it the stark clearness of Winter, I'm instantly taken with the idea of watching the Lord of the Rings movies. Same story, two different seasons.

The Hobbit is an Autumn book. Prince Caspian is a Midsummer book. Which makes the movie's coming out in May interesting. I wonder when the Hobbit movies will come out?
