In addition to finishing up the fourth draft of my Bald Knobbers feature script, I've been finally knocking out watching a ton of films during this crazy ice storm the past few days.

Yesterday I watched the following six films:

Renny Harlin's running audio commentary on Exorcist: The Beginning (2004)

Paul Schrader's running audio commentary on ( Read more... )

There was a crazy amount of ice this time. I've only left the apartment all weekend to go to the convenience store next door. Even it has been closing at 6:00. But tallwithglasses and I had a movie marathon of our own. We watched the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy, extended edition, plus a lot of the bonus material. Tomorrow, we're planning to watch The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. Speaking of Narnia, I just saw where the expected release date for Prince Caspian is May 2008.

Yeah for snow/ice days!

Oh how I wish that convenience store were right next door to us!

I did take Tam to the emergency vet hospital in Friday night, but it took an hour to drive the three miles there, and he and I had to wait there for over three hours just to wait on all the medical staff to arrive in shifts to check him out. But he's fine now fortunately!

Didn't you guys just watch the whole LOTR trilogy a few months ago? I guess those films lend themselves to holiday breaks very easily though. Did you do the skip-Bilbo game this time?

Yeah, Prince Caspian was *supposed* to come out Dec. 2007, but they thought they'd need an extra five months of post-production. Which is fine I guess; But its always so nice to have those types of movies coming out at Christmas!

Oh no! What happened to Tam?

Oh he was refusing his food for three days' straight and started acting really weak. It was either the world's biggest case of constipation or else he'd swallowed something fabric-y that blocked him until the doctors helped him out. We're still not sure which!

We watched it ALL of it. I'm the one who doesn't like Bug Eyes as Frodo, and am willing to give up Sam and Gollum to watch the rest of the movie.
I like Eowyn better, anyway.
And sigh Aragorn.

:-D

Whoops! I meant Frodo!

Eowyn IS better than almost anyone else, save maybe Gandalf.

I'm so glad you think so. Miranda Otto is so overlooked in the series, especially compared with Liv Tyler (who's beautiful and appropriately other-worldly, but is nothing compared to the fire and ginger of Miranda).

Fire and Ginger...I like that!
