That's Not A Movie, That's A Lifestyle

We watched Lord of the Rings this past weekend. All of it. DVD extended versions. One of very few books that I've read more than once. An epic that has left its mark on bookstores for all time. When you go to Barnes and Noble consider; without LOTR that whole fantasy genre that has taken over half the science fiction section may not exist. Anyway, enough bowing to the great ancestor...

My girlfriend had never seen any of the movies. She was shocked when the first one ended. I remember the uproar in the theater when I saw it the first time. Despite the fact that it consumed the whole weekend, this was the way to watch it. It is clearly one movie in three parts. Long, but a heck of a ride.
