Preview: Lord of The Rings Mega Marathon

lotr.jpg How many times have you been sitting at home, hungover, on a Sunday thinking to yourself "If only there was a film marathon where I could be catching up on my hobbit and elf movie watching"? If you're like us, you think that virtually every weekend.

Well, you are in luck. The Roxy Bar & Screen is hosting a series of film doubles and trebles, and they've just announced their newest lineup for 22 February. All the Lord of the Rings films. In one day. We adore a movie marathon, and think this one sounds fantastic.

The marathon will run start with The Fellowship of the Ring at 1pm, followed by The Two Towers at 4:30pm and finallyThe Return of the King at 8pm. The whole thing should finish up at about 11:30pm. Just over ten hours of middle earth. And of course, food and drink will be available so you don't starve to death. These are the theatrical versions, so you won't have to worry about getting overwhelmed with director's cut madness.

That all sounds fab, but here's the best part - the whole thing costs a fiver. Yes, five pounds. That is excellent value for money in these credit cruchy times. If you can't handle the whole thing, you can pick just one of the films for £3.

We can hardly wait!

The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Sunday 22 February, Roxy Bar & Screen, 128 - 132 Borough High Street London SE1 1LB, for more information go to the website.
