shit, man, i remember with that weird sharp sort of recall of the stabs of moments in childhood, a shitty op-ed article about the release of fellowship of the ring titled "an ugly galadriel?"

and that has stuck with me for over twenty years, and rises every time i watch these movies and see cate blanchett as galadriel, how fucking wrong that shitty journalist was

#lotr #lord of the rings #like i have only vague memories of the article itself but i recall it being specifically regarding how galadriel wasn't... galadriel enough #rather than this as a metaphor for the shitty journalist's opinion that the movie itself wasn't good enough #i mean either way he was wrong #but i distinctly remember that the sense was that cate blanchett wasn't pretty enough to be galadriel #which is so jaw-droppingly baffling that i cannot comprehend the reasoning behind it
