My Lord of the Rings: Return of the King extended edition DVDs showed over the weekend and I made an initial stab at watching them last night. Crikey is that movie long. Robin and Mikki and I went out for sushi last night and after dinner I threw in the movie while they worked on a cheesecake. The movie (and, due to some vagueness in the recipe, the cheesecake) didn't finish until 12:30am. Wow.

And, of course, there are four alternate audio tracks to go along with the 3.75 hour movie, and then two full DVDs of bonus content. It'll be 2008 before I'm done watching this. Or at least next week.

Sadly, the cheesecake was lemon flavored. :(
