TFL's Greatest Hits - Part 7: The Lord Of The Rings 5th Anniversary
In December last year, me, George and Charlie sat down and argued about what is probably the defining movie trilogy for geeks of this generation - Peter Jackson's Lord Of The Rings - to celebrate the 5th anniversary of The Fellowship Of The Ring's original theatrical release.
It was a whole lot of fun getting into the details of the films at length, not to mention having an online discussion that didn't degenerate into partisan comparisons with Star Wars. It was great to have another excuse to watch the films, and it was also great to use the discussions as a bookend to five years of watching and discussing these films innumerable times. The films sit at the bottom of my DVD pile where I hope they will stay for a few years yet, ready for the time I can watch them again with some sense of freshness and perspective.
I think the articles came out really well, and I hope they are as entertaining to read as they were to write. Here are the links:
1. The Fellowship Of The Ring
2. The Two Towers
3. The Return Of The King
So feel free to make man-love to The Vig and make gay jokes about Frodo as you read them and remember: Extended Editions forever!
Discuss this and other Fakery on our message boards!
