    This girl right here! They are my favorite set of movies. I am such a fan that I have an elven tat and my wedding bands are the elven love rings.

    Yes! I am an uber geek!

    My username, Nauriel R, is elvish (the R is short for Rochnur, which means "horse friend". Nauriel means 'Fire maiden") A bit geeky, I know, but I'm proud of it :)

    I read the LotR books about once a year

    I even taught myself how to write in Tengwar, the elvish alphabet. I'm best at the Sindarin mode, but with a bit of concentration I can pull or the Quenyan mode as well.

    My best friend and I have LotR marathons a couple times a year, where we watch all three extended addition movies back to back.
    A few months ago I posted a comment about the Silmarillion. Almost no one even knew what it was let alone read it. Made me kinda sad.
    This is how I measure the dedication of a LotR geek. If they've read the Silmarillion all the way through, then they pass the test and can be considered a true LotR geek :P

    Once a year my husband and I watch all three, all in a row, with extended versions.

    I have all the extended editions. My Elven name is Eriathwen, and I use it at times. I've read all the books too.

    I just watched Planes, Trains and Automobiles a week or so ago because it had just been too damn long since I'd seen the car rental scene.

    I saw this thread and it screamed

    YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!

    I just started rewatching the extended trilogy. everytime i watch i pick of something different.

    the most recent thing that i realized is from Two Towers:

    That seriously must have been some nasty *kitten* stew that Eowyn made for Aragorn - someone who's lived in the wild and probably survived on bird poop smeared on locusts - to not be able to choke down.
    What was the "meat" she used in the stew? They were all in a rush to leave for Helm's Deep so I doubt anyone was like hey let me bring this side of bacon. Did she use Orc meat? :huh:

    And generally speaking how the hell do you f*** up stew anyway? You just put stuff in pot and let it cook. Did she not really not taste that food before she served it to the man she was trying to seduce?

    I love the extended versions. They are the ONLY version I watch. This month alone I've watched it 6 times. Can't watch it enough! I just got a copy of the books and I can't wait to read them.

    I love them, too! But I don't understand why you have to have someone to watch them with. Why do you have to wait for somebody else to enjoy yourself? Just watch the movies! :flowerforyou:

    Huge fan of both the books & the movies right here! My best friend and I have the same birthday & last year we took the day off & had a marathon day at my place. We even served up theme foods, things fit for a hobbit feast, lembas, etc. Lots & LOTS of po-ta-toes :blushing:

    LOVE them and love having marathon nights! A fun geek-style drinking (or toking, depending on your preference) game to play while watching The Return of the King.....every time Sam-wise cries, you take a drink/toke. Whoever isn't passed out at the end of the movie - wins!
