I've noticed while shelving movies at my library job, that the last Indiana Jones is almost always checked in (note: I consider the last Indiana Jones movie to be The Last Crusade, since this was the last of the original trilogy), while the other two almost never are. This made me wonder if people are experiencing with this trilogy, what I do with the Lord of the Rings movies. I always psych myself up to watch all three, and I inevitably fall asleep half-way through the first film. I have yet to see any more of the trilogy than this, aside from catching pieces of the movies at friends' houses.
This brought to mind the countless philosophy books and novels on my bookshelves I had to read for classes, that have enthusiastic underlining and margin notes in the first half and almost no marks in the last half of the book. I start out energetically and exhaustively mulling over the books' content and inevitably lose steam. I know there is probably a valuable life lesson to be found here, but I do not have the energy to make the connection right now.
