nerd alert: LotR rewatch next month?

[orangerful]

Okay my geeks, I just saw this on my calendar and wanted to see how you all felt about it:

Every year around Christmas I do a Lord of the Rings rewatch, ever since the movies came out on DVD. It has become a tradition and a time I really look forward to. I go all out and watch the extended editions.

Last year I made a note in my Google Calendar that when Frodo wakes up in Rivendell, Galdalf tells him it is October 24 and therefore I should start my rewatch on October 24th!

Should we try to coordinate this? I am thinking since that is a Tuesday night we will probably just watch Disc 1 because of work in the morning LOL. I love LotR but they are long and if we don't start until 7-8pm the first disc won't be done until around get-ready-for-bed time.

Let me know what you all think!

AHHHH you glorious nerd I love you.
This is also a tradition in my family, my parents and I started it when they lived in Martin, TN and I visited for Christmas. Because there is NOTHING in Martin, TN. So it was the perfect time to watch REALLY LONG MOVIES.

ENJOY YOUR REWATCH, I will wait another month BUT I LOVE YOUR NERD REASON SO MUCH.

(Edited for the FUCK YOU icon because it is Saruman. I THOUGHT I HAD GANDALF AND SARUMAN BEARD BATTLE but I GUESS I DO NOT).

I have been doing this rewatch for YEARS but I hardly ever make it to the end anymore so I'm hoping starting in October means I can actually get through RotK for once!

LOL @ Sarumon (even though I probably shouldn't laugh at a wizard...)
