Decent week, watching Lord of the Rings in-theater for the first time since.... learning to read? (I'm told toddler me was in awe of the movies and well behaved in the theater when they came out), plus it's the full extended edition 😊 1 movie per day. There's a foreword honoring Bernard Hill (Theoden) each movie 😢

It's hot outside and I hate it. 90+ with no rain for this whole damn upcoming week

Hey you! Hi! :3 😝!

Also 90+ is horrifying 🙀 I'm Minnesotan now so a humid 66°F apparently feels hot to me now 😅 70ish seems to be the usual beginning of discomforty warmness. Is'pose I wanted to become a cooler-temperature critter, just didn't think it was gonna happen quite this way I guess 😅 New family and I just finished the second movie (extended edition for both, Ithink) recentlish so that's sortof a thing we're doing too. Not in theatre, though :3

FREN!!! 90+ is indeed horrifying. My birth certificate says texas but i am very much not made for that climate.

66 f sounds amazing and so comfortable, my AC is doing it's best and maintains about 74 (set to 70)

The theatrical version does not exist, only the extended. Coincidentally, the best points to take a BIO break in each movie is

  1. Just before the council of Elrond
  2. Rabbit stew
  3. About 10 minutes before the charge of the Rohirrim. Or GROND!

In theater has this shown before the movies right now 😢

Edit1: apparently it's supposed to storm from... the time I enter the theater for Return of the King, to abooooout when the movie ends. Then back to hot and no rain for the rest of the week.

Other fun is that my ticket reads "Lord of the Rings: Return of", ends at the tear off, then reads "Lord of the Ring". So, "Lord of the Rings: Return of the Lord of the Ring", which would be a VERY different movie

Rain and cool are nice :3 My attic gets soooooper stuffy so I've been liking that this place has decided to be Seattle for a little while 😅 Rain, rain, every day @.@ 🌧 I like storms and rain in general, though :3 At least, while sheltered I do.

So what is that movie, LotR Empire Strikes back? 😅 Reverse Return of the Jedi? ... Dunno why LotR is Star Wars now but I just woke up so I'm probably a little weird 😅

I wonder if in that version we actually get the Scouring of the Shire from the books? That and maybe Scary Bilbo as a ring-wraith

Storms are great, it actually did rain today. For like 10 minutes.
