I have to admit that one of the reasons I watch the films quite so often (at least, excerpts) is that I like to watch TV while I eat and they are always on Sky Movies and amongst the 500 channels of rubbish they are quite often the best thing on!

Now that the full extended edition marathon is behind me I just don't have the 'urge' to watch them in full, but every so often I might stick one of them on to watch a favourite scene again. But like all films I enjoy, I have no doubt that the urge to watch them properly again might take me at some point in the near future.

It would have been impossible to go alongto the cinema and try to forget the storylines, but I did go feeling not only fear but excitement about what each film might be like, and I was open minded and prepared to enjoy them despite what I feared. This is how I approach most films apart from typical action/cop films (which I go along to quite prepared to be bored out of my mind)so its not surprising. What did surprise me is that I'm often cynicqal about anything which remakes books/films etc which I already loved, and yet I didn't have this sense of cynicism about LotR.
