The timing is even better for us as Janelle will be on her trip to New Zealand which will include excursions to some of the places where these movies were filmed. She also isn't a big fan of just sitting and watching movies all day (let alone two). Meanwhile, Katrina will be up here, and she inherited my appreciation for movie marathons.
Due to an already filled schedule this coming break, my plan is to watch the Hobbit trilogy on Tuesday, March 12, and the Lord of the Rings trilogy the following day. This should be enough advance notice for anyone in the area to prepare believable excuses for why they cannot attend. As for me, I already have the tentative schedule mapped out:
The Hobbit [extended] trilogy
Tuesday, March 12, 2019
9:00 AM to 12:03 PM An Unexpected Journey (3h 2m)
12:30 PM to 3:37 PM The Desolation of Smaug (3h 7m)
3:45 PM to 6:29 PM The Battle of the Five Armies (2h 44m)
The Lord of the Rings [extended] trilogy
Wednesday, March 13, 2019
8:30 AM to 12:18 PM The Fellowship of the Ring (3h 48m)
12:30 PM to 4:25 PM The Two Towers (3h 55m)
4:45 PM to 8:56 PM The Return of the King (4h 11m)
It will be fun.
