How Many Times Have You Seen The Movie? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Elrian · 12-28-2001, 01:42 AM

So far I have seen it 4 times, it gets better with every viewing, and I've found that things that I didn't notice in previous viewings. Apart from a few scenes that were overdone, it was an awesome movie, and I plan to see it many more times.

12-28-2001, 04:08 AM

I've seen it three times. I know I'll see it again in a week or so, and again after The Two Towers trailer starts being shown with it. Then that still leaves 11 more months till TTT comes out, so I'm sure I'll see it at least once or twice more before the DVD is released. It just begs to be seen on the big screen; my television is only 27 inches.

Imperica · 12-28-2001, 06:26 AM

I've seen it twice. Once with my friend and the other time with my Dad. The first time we were too close up to the screen so I decided to see it a second time in a good seat. I think I might take my girlfriend to see it also.

Airetelluma · 12-28-2001, 09:28 AM

I've seen it four times; number five on Sunday!

Serevian The Ranger · 12-28-2001, 11:35 AM

so far none but i am going to watch it this weekend

Lush · 12-28-2001, 12:40 PM

I'm going for a third time tonight...I really don't have a life over the holidays, do I? I should be relaxing at home with the book and a glass of rum; it's too chilly outside! Instead, I will be going out tonight. I guess it's a combination of Legolas and the cinematography that does it for me.

12-28-2001, 05:08 PM

i have seen it twice already (my mom and dad tease me and call me teh Lord of teh rings queen). I plan to see it more though. It holds my attention for the whole time....and a movie that does that has gotta be good.

Evil Anya · 12-28-2001, 05:13 PM

I've seen it twice, I will probably go atleast once more before it is out of the theatres but right now i don't have the funds.

***The Barrow-Wight*** · 12-29-2001, 07:48 AM

I've seen it twice, once in English, my native language, and once in German, my second and very half-forgotten language. Fortunately, because I am so familiar with the books and had seen it in English first, I understood the movie in German perfectly.

12-29-2001, 08:57 AM

I saw the movie twice and it was really cool both times. I think the first time was better, cause the second time seemed to take a really long time and it was very late. I think it was one of my favorite movies of all. I will probably wait for the video and buy it. Yes, I still use VHS! <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Elanor · 12-29-2001, 10:05 AM

So far just the once. But I will be going again in a couple of days, taking a friend who does not know the story at all. Hopefully I'll make a new convert

Tarlondeion Of Gondolin · 12-29-2001, 12:03 PM

I've seen it twice and I'm going again next week. Its a great film.

shieldmaiden · 12-29-2001, 02:42 PM

I havent seen it yet, but i plan to see it at least three times on the big screen. I want to take all my friends to see it and I hope that there will be some converting.[ December 29, 2001: Message edited by: shieldmaiden ]

Pippin · 12-29-2001, 03:06 PM

I converted two already...I seen it four times so far...and if I can find enough cash down the back of my sofa, I might go again...

12-29-2001, 04:33 PM

Only twice so far. My 10 yr old son is bugging me about seeing it again this holiday weekend and only this flu bug is keeping me from it.Certainly enjoyed the film much better the second time and look forward to the third time to being that much more enjoyable.Can't wait until it is released on DVD.

Lush · 12-29-2001, 05:11 PM

Oh yes. Having FotR on DVD means I can pause it at all the right moments...

Serevian The Ranger · 12-29-2001, 05:58 PM

one time it was pretty good i think it lived up to my expectations

Zippo · 12-29-2001, 06:11 PM

one.....only one....

Snowflake · 12-30-2001, 11:54 PM

I've seen it twice, soon to be three, times. It's hard to go to the movies a lot when you can't drive and only get $10 a week.......

Marileangorifurnimaluim · 12-31-2001, 03:19 AM

Three times so far, with plans to go again, later, before the second movie comes out. Much better the second time, just love looking around Bilbo's home (looks like my cozy place - stuff everywhere - I like it). I can't wait to put my feet up and watch all three in a row.

Maltagaerion · 01-01-2002, 12:32 PM

Just twice so far, took my mom the second time. I think now she realises why I've loved these books all these years

Airetelluma · 01-01-2002, 01:52 PM

I've converted four people; they all got LotR for Christmas/already had it and all went running home to read. ^_^

Legolas · 01-01-2002, 11:44 PM

I've been four times, only getting in twice. Only one of the eight or so cinemas in town is showing it, and it's also the most popular cinema in town...but they only show it three times after 4:00. 'Tis okay though, I'm going tomorrow to see it again.

01-02-2002, 11:54 PM

4 times for myself. Will hopefully see it many times before it leaves the theater.

Sindalómiel · 01-04-2002, 06:26 AM

I've seen it twice, and will be seeing it again as soon as I get some money.

lothlorien · 01-04-2002, 07:35 AM

Hello from Spain!!! I´ve seen it twice and I cried both.I´ve only read "The Hobbit" and now I´m reading "The Silmarilion", but I felt completely in love with the movie and the characters on it. Surely I´ll see it again and again until it´ll be releaed on DVD.

***Gilthalion*** · 01-04-2002, 07:57 AM

I'll have to buy a DVD player one day just to get the Director's Cut (another 45 minutes or so, according to rumor).I've seen it thrice in the cinema, once by myself (opening day matinee), once with the Mrs (opening night), and once with a friend.The Mrs tells me I must take her again and thus ENDURE it for a fourth time.Somehow, I don't think I'll mind!

01-05-2002, 12:12 AM

Nine!

Lush · 01-05-2002, 02:30 PM

Dear, I have multiplied 195 minutes (the approximate length of the movie) by 9, and I got this number: 1755. I then divided that by 60 and got 29.25 (hours). That's more than a day! ...I myself may go see it a fourth time, if the withdrawal is too terrible.

Maeglin · 01-05-2002, 04:12 PM

I have seen it two times so far (once alone and once with my friends) and im seeing it again this week with my brother and my dad. When is that TTT trailer? I sure dont want to miss that.

Elrian · 01-06-2002, 03:05 AM

New Line hasn't made an announcement yet as to when they will switch the current film with the one including the trailer. If they expect the movie to run until March they may do it next month sometime, or when it starts to fall in the box office take.

01-06-2002, 06:06 PM

Think of it this way. When you're eleventy-one years old, what will you wish you had done more of?View obsessively, my children.

zifnab · 01-06-2002, 06:23 PM

I have seen the movie only once, but would like to see it again, this time bring my wife. But if everybody watches the movie 3+ times as it seems the majority have(at least in here), then this movie will be rackin' in the big bucks. I wonder what they'll do with all the left over money(If there is such a thing as that in Hollywood).

Lush · 01-06-2002, 09:49 PM

Well, they can go by themsevles at least to ice-cream cones with the "left-over money", because today I saw the movie for the fourth time. For my own weird reasons, of course.

01-07-2002, 12:33 AM

I read in IMDb, that they would start running the TTT trailers with FotR after the Oscar nominations are announced.

Gayahithwen · 01-07-2002, 12:26 PM

I've only seen it once so far, but I plan seeing it again sometime soon.. this time I'll read through a "101 things you saw, think you saw or missed in the film"list that I found somewhere before and then watch out for everything and then laugh loudly when I see them.. hhmm.. I will not buy anything to drink this time, though.. three hours of pain last time.. ^_^ oh well, I survived..

amyrlis · 01-07-2002, 01:56 PM

Only once so far! Would like to catch it at least once more on the big screen though. Perhaps I'll wait till after the Oscars and see if QueenMag heard correctly - that would be great! It will have to come out on DVD before I get to see it as many times as I've read the book though!
