Boots

Boots are such an amazingly wonderful piece of footwear, are they not?
It was once said by someone very wise (my mother) that you can judge a movie by the boots that are worn in it. This has more than once proven true in my own life.
Star Wars has amazingly fantastic boots, as does Lord of the Rings, The Princess Bride, and Phantom of the Opera. But they don't have to be live-action movies to have spectacular boots, of course. For example, the movie Treasure Planet has great boots, and the TV series Avatar: The Last Airbender also has lovely boots. And the few movies I have watched that I have absolutely hated, have, amazingly enough, had terrible boots. Believe me, I was watching for them.
So, while it is often said that you cannot judge a book or movie by its cover, perhaps you can instead judge a movie by its boots. Obviously, this is not a fool-proof method of judging, but in my time, it has proved fairly true. Who knows? One day it may save you from watching a terrible movie.

I completely agree with this, by the way. I missed hearing Mom say that, but I am now going to judge all movies by the boots they contain. Very SMART!;)

I don't like any boots except wading boots and snow boots.
