    This is the only way I can watch them. I don’t want to waste several days watching a film a night. Give me the whole epic from start to finish in one sitting! My ADHD hyperfocus will help me power through it, as long as I have enough drinks and food prepared.

    Add in The Hobbit: The Tolkien Edit at the beginning and you have a pretty full day. The Tolkien Edit is a fan edit that removes all the fluff that’s not in the books and combines the Hobbit trilogy into one 4-hr film.

    This is how I saw part 3 in the cinema at opening. The cinema had part 1 and 2 extended on the day leading into launch and just after midnight we watched part 3.

    So I have done a weekend of the Saturday being all three extended Hobbit films and the Sunday being all three extended lotr films

    Needless to say, I’ve got zero desire to ever do the first half again

    The 2nd day was fun in spite of the first though
