With the release of a six-minute long trailer for the upcoming Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King Extended Edition, excitment about finally being able to see the full-length, uncut version of the trilogy is mounting. Prairie and I have had rough plans to hold a LOTRfest once the DVD was out — now that’ll be a little easier, thanks to a /.er who planned out a schedule:
11hr and 20 min is a significant investment of time, but I think it can be done.
7am: friends arrive, pancake breakfast.
8am: Fellowship of the Ring (\~4+ hrs)
12:30pm: Lunch
2:00pm: The Two Towers (\~3 1/2 hrs)
5:30pm: Dinner
7:00pm: Return of the King (\~ 4 1/2 hrs)
11:30pm: Eyes ooze out of our sockets, bedsores open on our asses.
Sounds like a pretty good approach to me. Prairie and I haven’t solidified a specific day for this yet, but would any Seattle-area friends feel like submitting themselves to this along with us some upcoming weekend?
Let me know!
Update: Prairie took a moment to actually look at a calendar (all these new-fangled concepts that I just don’t ever seem to grasp), and it looks like the target date is Saturday, Dec. 18th. Consider this an open invite (at least until I start worrying about how many people I can fit into a studio apartment, if I actually get that much interest). :)
