This is the time of year that I get the irresistible urge to watch the entire
Lord of the Rings trilogy. I love these movies. I love the story, I love the grand scale of the movies, I love the acting, I love detail of the smallest minutia. I love the sound track. And I love the extended edtion DVDs (thanks,
Jason!) with all the behind the scenes interviews and commentary. I appreciate the vision of Peter Jackson and I'm really excited that he is now going to be directing "The Hobbit."
Rumors are that he'll be filming it in 3D as well!
Why do I get the urge to watch these movies this time of year? I guess because this is the time when the movies were released both theatrically and when the extended DVDs were released.
So far, I've watched the first disc of The Fellowship and I am nearing the end of the second disc. Right now,
Boromir is trying to take the ring from
Frodo. I'll probably watch the rest of the trilogy over the next couple of weeks.
