Can we please have an old-fashioned Lord of the Rings thread? These used to be some of the comfiest threads around where Tolkien buffs would share their knowledge and so on.
These three movies were the last great endeavor of hollywood, and the extended editions rival any other series in greatness. Even The Hobbit has a lot to love if you watch the Maplefilms edit, which reduces the trilogy to 4 hours with intermission, and makes it closer to Tolkien's book.
We can discuss the upcoming amazon series if you want, although I need to see more before getting any hopes up.
