This sounds interesting, I haven't watched the movies in a while I might as well join you.

Yay! Glad to have you on board, corrupted captain!

Sorry about not posting (or checking O.o) for so long...NaNo is slowly but surely eating my soul. The list is now completely up to date, and I will make sure to keep it so.

It seems our little group is growing

I hope when the discussions start that we do not get bogged down with technicalities. The movies, to me, have always been something to enjoy, not dissect and put under a microscope. Hmmm..maybe I take that back. Those who have read the books and compare them to the movies is what, seems to me, causes harsh words. Trust me, I know this

Also, everyone, please remember...this is not a thread to discuss any aspects of the books.

I think our discussions will continue on well after we are finished watching the movies. It will be nice, finally, to have others to talk with instead of RL friends who do not *get it*

Hey, will anyone dress up while watching the movies? For me, I am not simply going to watch them. I am going to *be* in them...pointy ears and all

Tarc and I are continuing to work on questions lay out. It looks like we are all set for FotR, but some are still needed for TTT and RotK.

Count me in for dressing up!! If I remember though, I probably will. at least I'll have pointy ears.

I'll dress up, given the chance. Unless my sister won't let me use her dress. I don't own pointy ears though, so I'll just be a maiden of Rohan. This is going to be so much fun!

Super frustrating...

I have a Q for RotK..."Does it bother any one else when Frodo collapses on the slopes of Mt. Doom and the wind blows dirt directly into his mouth???"

Starting on December 5th we will be having a marathon LOTR viewing followed by a discussion in the Movie forum. The idea is to watch all three movies, preferably the extended editions, in the course of a day. For those of weaker constitutions you can take the whole weekend or, if you prefer, one movie per weekend over three weeks. Each of the movies will be discussed separately each week to accommodate these stragglers. The discussion threads will appear on the following Monday.

Ideas for discussion topics for each movie should be PMed to findemaxam48. More details are available in the Movie forum thread titled LOTR Movie Marathon . You can ask for a reminder on this thread if you want it.


Yes! Right on the main page! I thank whoever wrote this and posted it for all to see. Perhaps we will draw in more members to the site because of this.

ElfwithAttitude, your question has been added to our list for consideration.

Does anyone plan on watching all 3 movies in one day? I thought that idea was changed to watch one movie each weekend starting on Dec. 5.

Do all of us have the extendeds? And has everyone seen the movies or are there some participants in this who have yet to watch them?

Thank you, PSK. Glad to have you here!

I will not watch all three movies in one day. I do not have the time. That is what I thought too, as far as the weekends go. I guess as long as they are watched, it doesn't matter.

The last weekend will be difficult for me, I think. It is the last weekend before Christmas and the week of discussion brings us Christmas Eve Eve, Christmas Eve and Christmas.

Oh, forgetting about H3 coming out that last weekend as well.

Well, I think the movie discussion will go long past the final week anyway.

Isn't it wonderful how we get so into the movies? When I went to a LotR marathon at a local theater just before H1 was released, we all sat there quoting.

The *watch* list is getting longer! Yay!

My brother just ordered the EE Trilogy on Amazon for about $40! So excited! Up until this point we have had to borrow the films from friends or the library whenever we wanted to see them.

We may not be able to watch them on the specified weekends because we want to wait until my sister is home for Christmas. But we should be able to watch all three sometime before Christmas day. And believe me, the whole family will be watching. Mom too, if we can manage to rope her in.

So that will be five to six more watchers!

The list is growing! When will you make the list of all the watchers? And when will you let us know the questions? The first weekend is getting here quickly.

I would suggest that the questions for each film will be posted as new threads a day or two beforehand, and discussions should commence only on the Monday to give everyone a chance to watch the film. Is that OK Maxie?

There will be three or four categories as threads for each film with a number of questions and ideas in each category. I will lock the threads over the weekend. It would also be a good idea to edit the original post of this thread to explain how it will all work.

More discussion ideas are needed for TTT and ROTK, PM them to Maxie (findemaxam4.
