Managed to knock off 2 films yesterday as we started our annual viewing of
The Lord of the Rings. Every year on New Year's Day we watch, or attempt to watch, all three extended versions of the films. Yesterday we only made it through the first two, but we plan to watch the third tonight. One year we tried a Star Wars Marathon, but you know what? Those, sadly, don't hold together so well to make one cohesive story. It's as if the first three were done after the last three or some such nonsense ;-) Also, Episodes 1-3 are pretty bad. Yes, some epic battles, but plot, script, acting...meh. So we scrapped that idea and returned to the viewing of LOTR. It's the only time of the year we watch the films, so it's always a treat. Cannot WAIT for
The Hobbit.
Also finished the first book of the year Clans of the Alphane Moon by Philip K. Dick. He's just brilliant, and crazy enough to really push the boundaries. Can't believe this one hasn't been adapted into a film yet, it would be great.
