Watch the LOTR trilogy (extended editions) in one sitting

My whole body was sore after watching the movies in one sitting. Other than going to the bathroom I didn’t take any breaks. My back and my head were hurting like hell but it was worth it, a real experience. I’m definitely gonna do this again sometime – I love LOTR!

Last Friday, Mark, Randy, Don, Scott, Jacob, and me gathered in our office starting at 3PM for an extended edition marathon. We had plenty of beer and food, and finished around 2:45AM. It was AWESOME. It’s hard to believe that it really was almost 12 consecutive hours of movie watching. My only disappointment was that I dozed off for a few seconds and missed my favorite scene when Gollum falls into the lava of Mount Doom clutching the ring of power gleefully (so descriptive of humanity I think). If we ever do it again (and I’m persuaded that it would be fun to do again) we definitely should make some Middle Earth food. The pita chips were an OK facsimile of Lembas but it would’ve been much more fun to have an actual recipe ;)

I think next up we might do something like watch the Godfather trilogy.

As someone else said, sore butts are a given, but I’m not sorry I did it. What made it even better was that I was with a group of people, and we had fun making humorous comments throughout the viewing… though by the third installment we were definitely more subdued and just trying to stay upright.

Well worth watching all of them at least once in a liftime because these kind of movies only come along once in a lifetime.Just watch them you wont regret it.

long, interesting, and sore butts!

I loves it my preciousssss

I’m gonna buy the box set sometime sooooooon and the tentative marathon date is mid-May to celebrate exams ending… yay!!!

awsome. dont forget that 1 kilo bag of malteasers ;)

fun though!

With commentary. Took forever, but it was a fun thing to do.

I’ll probably never do it again though.
