Lord of the Rings Home Marathons? 120
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?"
All the simple programs have been written.

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

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.

Metropolis is a silent movie.

Finally seeing the third installment.... (Score:3, Funny)
It was plain boring in many sections of the movie that we began to improvise by doing a bit of Mystery Science Theater 3000 ourselves of the movie.
Some things came up:
- Hobbit love. Those guys REALLY dig each other.
- The akwardly long glances in the end of the movie were too long to take seriously, with the causal smiles thrown by the Hobbit characters, you begin to wonder what else does that ring do to them.
- Alot of pot references in the movie.
- The main human character turns down the advances of a human princess. "I can't give you the love you desire" Dude, it's free *boink boink* and you're turning it down?!!? Refer to Hobbit Love.
- It took the White Wizard nearly an hour to ride to the top of the castle. Yes we knew it was a BIG castle when we first saw the grand shots, now you take us on a roadtrip to the top.
- Why did it take 3 movies to get to the volcano? Everytime we get to a checkpoint, we get a reminder of the volcano and see it in the distance. This is the longest roadtrip in HISTORY. What ever happened to horses? What about those HUGE birds?
If I were to watch the movies again, it would be to write a guide on how to watch them all in less time.

That's a serious LotR marathon. Start with "The Hobbit" on Monday night and polish off "The Return of the King" by Sunday.
