Out of the Blue

Took advantage of the rainy weekend to start a movie watching project I'm surprised I've never gotten to before now. Calling it project will probably sound less odd when I explain that this is the Lord of the Rings trilogy, which I have never actually seen. To make up for the omission, I watched the extended edition of The Fellowship of the Ring, which was not short to begin with. I was still surprised that this spanned two discs, but it was so lengthy an intermission was welcome, so this wasn't as bad as I thought at first. Now I'm surprised that I was surprised at how good the first movie was (maybe because I found the books so slow)... It certainly doesn't seem logical for a movie with a 92 metacritic rating and a best picture nomination. Now I have to clear time for the other two... and of course each is longer than the last.

Back when I was a younger (and single) man, I set aside an entire Sunday to watch all three extended editions of the movies. Started at something like 8am and went straight through all three until the late evening (with appropriate bathroom and food prep breaks, ofc). No regrets!
