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.
