Oh, well, that sounds reasonable. I was imagining mountains of videos.....:lol:
I have the DVDs myself.

We (my children and I) used to watch them ALL the time. They would stick it on when they got up and sometimes watch the movie more than once in a day. After ROTK came out we watched them less and less (though ROTK was our favorite)...I think the decrease came after I held two LOTR marathons (consisting of all three movies-uninterrupted-and 9 children ranging from the ages of 8-16-who would often take trampoline breaks during the movie)...

yeeeaaaahhh...alittle burned out now :/
Today I went to IKEA and hid in the wardrobes, and every time someone opened the doors I welcomed them to Narnia!!

No option for "am never seeing those ever again"! (I'm not a big fan of PJ's interpretation. At all.)

I have not seen them in a long time cause every time I see them I like them less. I would like to preserve some fondness for them. I read the book more often than I see the movie.

Never again.

Do you know anyone who wants a (watched once) extended DVD version of the "Fellowship"?

I started out with great hopes, and after viewing the theatrical release, was disappointed in some choices. Still, I looked forward to the extended version and hoped it would be an improvement.

When I saw the "Two Towers", though, I decided not to buy the extended version. I did watch it when a friend bought it, but felt that there were enough ways in which PJ had altered the story that I would not want to have it.

Then came the theatrical release of the "Return of the King". I saw it once, and haven't even bothered to watch the extended version.

From now on, I'm sticking to the books.
