So, there's this place called Middle Earth...
I thought I had watched all 3 films. Shannon hadn't, so we binged them, one each night, for the past 3 nights. It's been 20 years since the first one came out, and I didn't remember the first half of it. I remembered most of The Two Towers, and none of The Return of the King. I could remember what was going to happen from having read the books ages ago, although I did get confused here and there between some of the events in LoTR and The Hobbit. It stuck me that LoTR is really Aragorn's story, more than Frodo's.
It was a bit slow in places, but what an epic film to have brought to the screen. So many extras! So many sets! Fantasy was temporarily suspended when I noticed Bret from Flight of the Conchordes telling Arwen to make haste to the boats.

Celebrate!
