LotR in One Sitting

Via Ryan, I see that some people are planning to watch all three Lord of the Rings films (extended editions of the first two, no less) in one sitting on Tuesday, December 16.

I think the participants are going to be sorry they did.

During my senior year of college, we rented the digitally-redone Star Wars trilogy and, by the middle of Return of the Jedi, we started wandering in and out of the room and gave up. And that was in the comfort of our own living room, with a remote control for bathroom breaks. And about half the length of the LotR trilogy.

Right before college we had a dragonball Z Marathon, 2 seasons IN JAPANESE (with subtitles obviously).

We did rather well actually, stopping only for lunch break.

I have never seen LOTR, but I have watched TV all day before.

I'm seriously considering doing this on the 16th. I would have to take a vacation day to do it, but only one theatre will be showing it in my area... The other alternative is to catch the extended versions as they are released earlier in the month.

No more comments! Either someone has violated Godwin's Law, I'm tired of the discussion or, most likely, the ten-week window has closed. You can, however, contact me through email.
