Lord of the Rings Home Marathons?

Posted by Cliff on from the movie-watching-of-epic-proportions dept.

Pepebuho asks: "Given that LOTR 3 is out, how many of you have staged Home LOTR Marathons? How long did they take? Was it fun or did everybody fell asleep by the middle of the Return of the King?"

    A Lord of the Rings marathon?

    That's impossible!

    Since clearly all of Slashdot has boycotted buying DVD's due to the rampant evil of the MPAA...

    I don't know if I'd mod that Flamebait.

    (-1, Capitalist Whore) perhaps.

    But not Flamebait :).

    I started my LotR marathon today while working on some new features in the Slash code. I hope it doesn't show ...

      We'll come to you if there seem to be random (Cave) Troll moderations popping up.

    Why would I want to see them a second time? If I'm going to spend another 10 hours in front of the television, it's at least going to be with NEW movies.

    Why listen to the same song more than once? Why eat the same type of meal more than once? Why have sex with the same person more than once?

    BECAUSE IT IS ENJOYABLE YOU MORON.

    I don't like Star Wars but I've watched Metropolis (Fritz Lang) a dozen times. I still enjoy watching it even though I know every single scene by heart.

    If people enjoy watching LOTR ten times then let them. Don't be a dickhead and make them feel bad about it.

    You can quote an entire movie line by line and I'm the moron. Christ...

    Metropolis is a silent movie.
