It is said the Egyptians constructed the pyramids while watching the LotR films.

Thing is, though they didn't love it on the first viewing, they liked it well enough. And, despite all my grumpiness, so did I. However, the second watching was just beyond human abilities...

The reason being, most likely, that the Chinese have reserved the Hobbit movies for their Great Wall.

Poor, darling Hugo..mind you most cats get grumpy when other cats take over their house and eat all their food....

A friend is threatening me with the extended edition. I am hoping I have moved house before that is released.

I just noticed that Thorin has several photos and look-a-likes.

Clearly a fan of the man!

Extending the already interminable. What a concept.

I can just imagine thirty additional minutes of "pixels hanging over the edge of a cliff" or "pixels falling without injury down into yawning chasms" -- that kind of stuff.

Saw it once. Shame on them for fooling me. Saw it twice? No way. That would make a fool out of me.

The CIA tried to use the extended version in place of waterboarding as an enhanced interrogation technique. Unfortunately, many prisoners died of old age prior to divulging information.
