LOTR refresher

This sounds cool: New Line will re-release the first two Lord of the Rings installments for one week each beginning two weeks before the release of the concluding movie, Return of the King. But not just what we saw before, the extended versions: 208 minutes for Fellowship of the Ring and 214 minutes for The Two Towers. Some theaters will even go over the top: on Dec. 16, a daylong marathon during which all three films will be shown back-to-back. Exhib guidelines call for a 3 p.m. showing of Fellowship followed by a 7 p.m. screening of Towers and then an 11 p.m. screening of King. Oh my. Think of your bladder and the big picnic baskets. OH MY!!!
