Every since I got my Axioms and my projector, some guys from work have been bugging me about watching all three of the Lord of the Rings movies (Extended Editions of course) in one day. Well, that day is finally coming. Next Saturday (September 24th) the marathon begins.

It is amazing how long it is going to take to watch all three movies. We are planning on starting the first movie (Fellowship of the Ring) at 9:00 am, then 12:30 pm will be lunch, 1:00 pm we fire up Two Towers, 4:30 pm we get supper and play some arcade games, 5:30 pm we start Return of the King, and 9:30 pm we are all done.

I know that the breaks will end up going longer than 30 minutes and 60 minutes, but I needed to start a schedule, and with one of the guys driving almost an hour to get to my house, I didn't want it getting too late.

Has anyone else had a moive marathon at home before? What else can I expect?

I found out a while back that my wife had never seen any of the original star wars trilogy. That of course, needed to be remedied. We watched all 3 in one day. Suprisingly, I didn't feel overloaded by watching that much. I hadn't seen them in a while also, so that probably helped as well.

That's an awful lot of beer drinking.

Have wanted to do that same thing with the Rings movies but felt it was just too long. All I would need is somebody else to go hey want to watch all three in one day and I would do it, but that hasn't happened as of yet.

(I think these are the best surround/LFE testers of any movie I have seen, and I've seen a lot) So have fun wish I could be there. . .

Awesome nick. It will definitely take the whole day, and you might even need to put people up for the night. We had a LOTR EE marathon earlier this year, and, surprisingly, it didn't seem like a whole day went by. Other movie marathons we've had:

Star Wars EP I and II
Star Wars EP IV, V, and VI
Matrix Trilogy
Indy Trilogy
Aliens I, II, and III
and Harry Potter

Have fun!

Awesome. Another one I hear is a doozy is the "24" marathon weekend. 16 hours comprising the 24-hour day (minus commercials).

I went to a couple of marathons -- Star Wars (4-6) and Terminator (1-3) at one of the big movie theaters downtown (now demolished for condos).

Every time I go to one of those I end up getting my jacket stolen. Doing the marathon at home sounds like a much better idea, if only for the clean bathrooms and awesome sound

Not to mention keeping a closet full of jackets....
