Lord of the Rings

So, Taela and I did our Lord of the Rings Marathon. It tallied 11 1/2 hours and we skipped two scenes (Shelob--who needs to see tha more than once?) It was long, but a lot of fun.

I love the movies and I did really want to see them all in one sitting. I thought it would flow better that way and I was right. There was something pretty cool about watching the whole thing without stopping. From Bilbo's birthday to the Grey Havens.

Now, I'm not doing it again. No way. One was enough. I'm glad I did it, but from now on I'll stick to one movie at a time. I'm not one for sitting still that long anyway.

I wouldn't have been able to do it with anybody other than Taela. But we have this way of bouncing off each other that made the length bearable. Besides the commetns we (mostly Taela) made were amusing, to say the least. Most of her comments were about the possible sexual preference of the hobbits, but it was pretty funny.

This was the first time I had a chance to watched the whole RotK extended edition, so that was cool. There was some Faramir/Eowyn scenes, not a whole lot, it is a pretty minor plot point but I thought it was cool that we got to see them together before the coronation.

The trilogy was awesome. Especially the extended editions. It was definitly worth 12 hours of my life to watch it all at once. I just wish my dad could have been there with it. He would have loved it.
