THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY (2012)

So sad to hear about Patricia Routledge’s death. Keeping Up Appearances is something I’ve watched and loved since I was a little kid. It’s a funny, goofy comedy on the surface but underneath it you have probably one of the best pieces of commentary on the British class system you can ask for.

“Of course!” said Gandalf. “And why should not they prove true? Surely you don’t disbelieve the prophecies, because you had a hand in bringing them about yourself? You don’t really suppose, do you, that all your adventures and escapes were managed by mere luck, just for your sole bene-fit? You are a very fine person, Mr. Baggins, and I am very fond of you; but you are only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all!” Happy birthday, Bilbo Baggins! | Hobbit Day, September 22nd

The movie is a light. If you’ve been feeling really depressed about the world lately I’d highly suggest watching Superman.
