I survived the Lord of the Rings movie marathon! Just got home...feel like a zombie now. I spent a total of 11 hours in the cinema, from 8:15pm - 7:15am. Oh man, I won't be doing this again. The extended editions of Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers were shown while the theatrical release of Return of the King was shown.
It is actually kinda good watching all 3 at a go. At the end of it, I felt like I too had gone on the long journey that was taken by Frodo & co.
Anyway, it's nap time now! ZZZzzzzzzzz.........
Posted by DSD at February 8, 2004 10:04 AM | TrackBack...and when the extended edition for ROTK comes out, you'll have to do it all over again! They'll be showing the trilogy of EEs in theaters in the US, I hear.

Posted by: tiggie at February 9, 2004 12:29 AMWow, that's impressive! 11 hours!
I had a friend who once saw "Titanic" eight times (though not in a row). I can't stand "Titanic", so all I kept thinking was, "That's an entire day's worth of movie-watching he'll never get back."
Second Vanessa's comment. Maybe we can all be in Singapore at the same time for that, and watch (attend? participate in?) the marathon together. A fellowship going to the fellowship, and all that.
Posted by: Adrian at February 9, 2004 6:28 AMJust occurred to me that I don't know where you are, Tiggie. In Singapore? Overseas? Wow, this fellowship is all over the world, isn't it? Organizing a trip to the movies in one country is going to be difficult! :-D
Posted by: Adrian at February 9, 2004 6:30 AMhello Adrian,
i am currently bouncing about in Scotland...Edinburgh....as some tiggers do if they are careful not to get blown away! it would be great fun to meet the love of Joan... mmm yes, it will be good fun!
this fellowship spans 4 continents at this point in time! Australia, Asia, Europe and North America! Yes, to organise a trip to the movies would be quite a feat.
Posted by: joan at February 9, 2004 11:49 AMoh, indeedy! we're really spread about the world as of now. As the resident LOTR geek, let me report that the ROTK EE comes out onto DVD this November, and I believe the EE trilogy won't be showing in theaters till next summer (in the US, at least). It would be lovely if we could all meet, movies or no! One day, I'll have my own residence and then I can host a little tea party in honor of our guests travelling from far and away! =)
