Hobbits...


Akano

636 views

Tomorrow my roommate (of three years), a fellow physics graduate student, and I are going to watch the three extended Lord of the Rings movies. In a row. In one day.

 

My roommate has tried this once on another occasion, but we couldn't help but bleed into the next day. Here's hoping that we can manage it this time.

 

Also, three day weekend! 8D

Dude, I want to do that so badly! But man, 16 hours...good luck haha! (I'll definitely watch all of them, but maybe over a couple days haha) I'm so excited for The Hobbit -- perfect way celebrate it by watching all three extended editions of LotR!

Oh wow, can't count. XD Lol I knew they were roughly 4 hours each but for some reason decided to times that by four movies. *facepalm*

After that, then you'll know where they're taking the Hobbits. :P

 

Sounds fun. Extended versions are the best.

My dorm floor did this twice this past year out in the shared lounge; I think only one or two people made it through the whole thing.

Come to think of it, I feel like this would lose its fun once you have to sit there and force yourself to watch them. I think I'd rather marathon them over three days and actually enjoy it.

 

But, being a LotR fanboy, maybe I would enjoy it. Worth a try, right?

Velox: I just got done reading The Hobbit for the first time since middle school. I forgot just how good it was, and I can't wait for the movie, especially with Martin Freeman of Sherlock fame being Bilbo.

 

V1P2: My roommate is definitely of the Tolkien fanboy-dom where he can watch LOTR straight and enjoy it just as much. :P

 

xccj: To Isengard! :lol:

 

GSR: Twice!?! I don't know if I had that much time to kill in one day as an undergrad. :P

 

Eeko: Unfortunately, I'm not a huge coffee fan. Perhaps some tea... :D

Ah, yeah, something else I plan to do before the movie comes out: I, too, haven't read The Hobbit since middle school. But yes, I am definitely super excited! Martin Freeman is amazing in Sherlock, and will make a perfect Bilbo, IMO.
