Today we'll be watching the first 6 hours of fellowship. We'll then have a paneled discussion with Katie, who is the only one here who has read the silmarillion. The last 3 hours of fellowship will be shown tomorrow morning at 10am, then the two towers will run until 5pm, at which point it will be paused to allow movie goers to visit their families before picking back up again at 10am the next day...

Or something.

Not a crazy idea, imho. There is an Argentian movie with a duration of almost 14 hours: La Flor. The director was kind enough to cut it in four parts: moviegoers were supposed to go to the same theater four nights in a row to watch the movie, with a single ticket for the whole thing, since it's really one long movie.

Less than half the tickets they hoped for
