I know! It's influenced my view on war and... er... writing about war.

*hides*

Go for the glory - watching the extended editions will take about 12 hours. I've only been able to do it twice before, to celebrate finals.

Wow! You actually managed twice! I always find myself fastfarwarding etc, the only time I managed was when I had company and that's it.

That's why I went with the watermelon :)

:O OMGs! Fast forwarding LotR? That's like.... OMGs!

*is incoherent*

And of course there is no watermelon in the house. Grr.

Lol! Well the thing is I am a book purist, I admit, and it is my favorite book, and Master my favorite writer. I have discussed, analyzed and read that book more than others put together for over 20 years now. I am not a fan of the movies due to it but when I can disassociate - which is impossible most of the time except when in company - the book from the movie, then I like them for their own merit. But I guess I am too steeped into everything LotR book-vise that the movie is not that great for me, on the contrary actually when it comes to context (disregard great visuals, good acting, amazing music etc).

So I chose the watermelon ;)

I usually forget just how different the movies are from the books because the movies are actually well made, unlike some I could rant about. :D But I do see how the movies can be more than a little annoying for a book purist.

Watching the trilogy in the company of slashers is awesome. Have done that once, and the eating games (eat any time a hobbit mentions food!) and drinking games (drink any time Legolas says something bloody obvious) almost killed us. But it was fun.

Now I really wonder if I should go shopping for that damn watermelon...

[ashenv.livejournal.com]

Oh they are well made, indeed some others ... *shudders * ... and yes, I do actually watch them in the company of my slasher friends, when I do watch them - lol - well and lots of ice-cream and choc as well with us. Usually end up with a stomacache thanks to all the laughing and drooling. Mmmmm ...

And now I want to the damn watermelon ... *falls down laughing*

[sua-lay.livejournal.com]

But.... But... I'll be totally *dead* after watching that! I'll be all weepy and want to kick Sam and...

:D

It's always a big project for me to watch LotR, not because of the length of the whole thing, but because it kinda makes me go all gaga.
