Time for "Fellowship of the Ring"

And "The Two Towers."

And "The Return of the King."

Yes, all 16 hours of the extended editions of the Tolkein Trilogy. Not all at once mind you. Not even an entire movie at one sitting. We watch one DVD an evening and in only six days we see the entire set yet again. It's become an annual tradition. In the comfort of our own home, pausing as needed for potty breaks. Wonderful.

And every time I watch it I see something new - some subtle little something that I had never noticed before. Plus we turn on the sub-titles and pick up a ton of dialog that you miss if you just listen.

Good stuff.

We went through it not long ago with the boys. I was worried about Jacob especially being bothered by the scary parts, but he seemed to do fine.

We're still working our way through Lost here. We've watched three episodes of Season 2, and are still enjoying it - even Jason seems a little hooked.
