Okay, so my family thinks I'm a little nuts. They might be right!
Yesterday I spent all day in a movie theater watching all three LOTR movies back to back. And I have just word to say.
AWESOME.
We had over an hour break between #1 and #2, so we left the theater and grabbed something to eat. The break between #2 and #3 was a bit shorter so we "tailgated" it in the parking lot. Some never left their seats. Saw lots of KFC chicken buckets and pizza hut pizza boxes passed around!
Would I do it again? Heck yes, in a heartbeat!
Everyone received a souvenir after the showing. It's a desk plaque...with three small windows. Each window contains a single frame of film from each movie. Just one of those silly collectibles -- that I would never buy for myself, but is kind of neat to have.
As for my review of the movie itself? It's breathtaking. The three hours and twenty minutes fly by. I don't want to give away any spoilers, so I'll wait till more people have seen it to discuss my likes and dislikes.
Can hardly wait to see it again.
