First I watch the scenes with hobbits but not Frodo. Then I watch the scenes with Frodo but no other hobbits. Then I watch the scenes with Frodo and Bilbo but not Gandalf. Then I watch the scenes with dwarves and without Boromir. Then I seek psychiatric help.
To be fair, that’s a little like how the books are structured once the Fellowship breaks up. Book 3 is entirely following the Three Hunters, Merry, & Pippin. Then book 4 gives us Frodo & Sam. Book 5 returns to what Aragorn, Gandalf et al. are doing in Rohan & Gondor. The book 6 starts with Frodo & Sam in Mordor and their rescue from it. Then returns for the hobbits’ return trip to the Shire and the Scouring, and the denouement.
In a parallel universe, people are watching LotR movies one at a time, and not the entire extended trilogy in one go. Pathetic.
I kept falling asleep they first 4 times, now it’s second nature
my mother in law does this! Drives me insane! “I just wanted to watch the two towers”. That’s IT? You didn’t feel the drive to immediately start RotK?
I watch them backwards starting from battle of the five armies.
I usually only watch the parts, where Legolas talks to Frodo.
