The RHLC!

Yeah, and Dad was the one who took our passport photos. And oh, man, Kiki, I know what you mean - Dad will spend an eternity and a half making sure the shot is just so, and he will take at least a million of them.

My dad and I are the real photographers of the family! We love taking photos and doing stuff to them on Photoshop. Every year when I ask my dad to take a fairly good, updated picture of me for my transport card, he makes sure he gets just the right lighting and afterwards spends ages on Photoshop doing stuff to the picture of me, heehee.
For a laugh, I sometimes stick a picture of Kermit on my transport card on top of the pic of me... lucky the guy doesn't check it that often lol!

That's so cool that you and your Dads are into photography. I respect that a lot, probably because I'm not very good at it myself (I'm more into video editing). Yeah Photoshop is amazing, there's so much you can do now. Lol, that's great that you put a Kermit picture on your card. Wonder what he'd do if he happened to check one day.

Hmm, I never thought youtube could have such a drawback!

I was very happy when I heard the Fraggle Rock Season 3 set would be coming out in the Fall. I had no problem waiting, it was cool. But now people have started posting Season 3 & 4 episodes on youtube, where the FR section of used to be fairly quiet. Normally this would be a nice thing, but now it's making it 10 ten times harder to wait!

I know if I watch the youtube episodes, I'll have less interest in seeing the DVD set (Not no interest, I would still get it. After all, bonus features!). Spoilers always ruin things for me and there's no going back. (Skye, you already know about this. Oh wait...you knew that! Hehe)

I really thought I could just ignore them, but THEN I saw someone had uploaded "The Gorg Who Would be King!" I finally decided on a compromise. In order to get it out of my system, I'd treat it like a preview. I'd only watch a little bit. So that's what I did, I probably watched what amounted to 20 seconds. But what a 20 seconds it was!

If anyone wants me to say what happens, I'd be glad to. But as it is a SPOILER, I feel better asking first.

...can you tell I'm trying to get rid of my own guilt here?

Thank you for asking about it, heralde. not me personally but maybe someone else. Man, why did someone have to posts those up on You tube? Now I'll hve to fight the temptation for like five more months not to see them. I just have to remembe to have patients and that good things come to those wot wait for them.

I understand. Normally I have decent will power, but today it was just too much! I think it's because I haven't set my myself a goal. (I still haven't watched those tapes I'm saving for my birthday though!)

Exactly, they'll come whether we wait for them or not, so we might as well wait.

When Return of the King was coming out, I shut myself off completely. No interviews, no Internet spoilers, I even turned the sound off during TV commericals! (My friends thought I was crazy). But my viewing experience was the better for it.

 

[Ilikemuppets]

That's good! And sorry about not helping you get rid or your guilt, but I just couldn't. I do hope you understand.

 

[CensoredAlso]

No, it's ok. Lol, I just thought that sounded funny, like something Fozzie would say.

 

[Ilikemuppets]

Oh, okay! that is funny now that i think about it, haha!

But that is so funny how you shut your self off like that during Return Of The King, LOL! Actually, I'm the exact kind of way when it comes to these things. And a preview is just not enough for me, I need like tha whole movie. It has to be a really good perview for me to wan to watch it.

 

[CensoredAlso]

Yeah true, most previews are pretty minimal and disapointing.

Well I wasn't careful at all about spoilers with The Two Towers. And as a result, I felt like the final viewing experience was not all it could have been. I knew way too much going in. So I decided I would start fresh with Return of the King, the way I had with The Fellowship of the Ring. (I thought the movies were going to be bad so I avoided FotR at first. But when I finally saw it in the theater, I was very pleasantly surprised!)

 

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Truth be told, I still don't understand Lord of the Rings at all.

I'll have to keep my eyes open for season three of FR, then.

 

[CensoredAlso]

I understand, a lot of my friends don't get it either. It is a pretty detailed story. (It is 'the greatest novel of the 20th century'.) The big thing to remember is: Evil ring of power, needs to be destroyed in the mountain where it was made, little hobbit creature is the only one who can destroy it.

I admire you guys for having such will power here.
