Just re-watched the Lord Of The Rings, extended versions.

The 3 films benefit by the addition of various "down time" scenes. Makes the experience a bit more immersive and less frantic. Wish we had the Old Forest and Tom Bombadil. But at 12 hours of material, I can see the need to excise certain parts for theater viewing. Also wanted the scouring of the Shire. Without it the ending was too sweet rather than bittersweet as Tolkien intended.

I read the books in my youth with a passion and long into the night, but for some reason can't help but fall asleep during each DVD. :)

The films are quite an achievement. But they still pale beside the books imo.

Looking forward to when the newest season of Better Call Saul drops on Netflix. It's been a while. Probably the best drama currently on TV.

Speaking of Thunderf00t.. I just recently saw Anita Sarkeesian on TV the other day. Oh boy.. she hasn't aged very well. While I always disliked her she was kind of cute in her younger days. She must be pushing 40 now. Even Thunderf00t would probably make a prettier woman in drag than her.

In behavior maybe.. lol.

Sadly my generation will probably be still playing Pokemon games and battling each other with them when we're in retirement homes, lol.

A thread to post what you are currently watching or plan to watch soon.

This is also a place to leave reviews of what you just watched if you so choose.

As for me I am currently watching The Pacific. Enjoying it thus far. A little more gruesome at times than I thought it would be. Cannot help but wonder what World War 2 was like for my grandfather. Although he was stationed in Europe. I do somewhat envy those who were able to live through such important times.

As for what I plan to watch soon.. probably Scanners.
Virgin River & America's Got Talent :)

Can you stay awake with the books? Because that where the story lives best IMO.
