Which reminds me of one of my favourite memes:

I invite my closest friends and family to a gender reveal party, but when I open the box with maniacal flourish instead of pink or blue balloons, a television screen is revealed.

I dim the lights remotely as we hear Cate Blanchett say, “The world is changed. I feel it in the water.”

Too late, they realise.

The pregnancy? A scam.

The Lord of the Rings editions? Extended.

The doors? Locked.

Also showing tomorrow in London (sold out) and again in 2 weeks at the wonderful Prince Charles Cinema [0]

Later in August they have a 21 hour (1260 minute) session of LOTR+Hobbit [1]

This seems like it would be an extra-curricular activity at Guantanamo Bay.


I'm waiting for the extended extended edition.

Might need an intermission though.


The blurb for this marathon says there are 20 minute breaks between the films.


Haha, Lido and their sister cinemas are great.


Wait what, this is an ad for an actual movie theater in Australia? Isn't the extended LOTR out on DVD by now? If DVD's still exist, that is.


I own it on 4K Blu-ray.

But I'd love to see it at the cinema.

(Which I will do when the kids are older)
