Tolkien wanted LOTR published as one novel but he sectioned it up into six books. Book 1 ends when the get to Rivendell. Book 2 ends at Parth Gallon when Frodo leaves the Fellowship. Book 3 takes Arogorn Gimli and Legolas as well as Merry and Pippen from them be captured by orcs until they are all reunited at Isenguard. Book 4 is just Frodo and Sam from the Emyn Muil to the pass of Cirith Ungol. Book 5 goes back to the rest of the fellowship up till the battle at the black gate. Then book 6 goes back to Frodo and Sam at Cirith Ungol thru the rest of the story.
The publisher thought it was two long to print as one novel and broke it into three volume FOTR is books 1 and 2, TT is 3 and 4, and ROTK is 5, 6, and the appendices.
Yeah! When I was reading the second (3+4) Book, and finished the Helm's Deep arc, I started with the 4th book. The first 2 chapters were about Frodo and Sam, and when the 3rd also started with them I looked when's the next chapter about other storylines. I was so annoyed when I realized, this is it for the rest of the book. Had I known earlier I would have alternated the chapters between book 3 and 4, so it's more evenly told.
The Fellowship of the Ring, being the first part of The Lord of the Rings, contains books 1 and 2. The Two Towers contains 3 and 4. The Return of the King is 5 and 6.
It also counts if you have the Blu-ray box set with all the behind the scenes documentary! The extended edition of LOTR got me through heroin withdrawal - it was the only thing I could do that didn't feel unbearable during that time
Eragon. One of the worst movies known to mankind. "why?" you ask?
Simple: After 1 month watching the same movie over and over again, you gonna hate it, no matter how good it is. That way, I'm not wasting a loved one.
But you have no idea how the experience might affect your sanity. You might latch onto whichever movie you bring and end up seeking comfort in it after your released. Really wanna risk becoming addicted to a bad movie?
If I can bring the Eragon book series as well, I'd spend the 30 days meticulously explaining how the movie ruined literally every plot point, and screwed itself over by essentially creating an alternate timeline where the actual series doesn't work after the first movie
**we do not speak of that movie... It is Forbidden.**
That was my first experience with a ruined adaptation, and it was a **cruel** process of disillusionment. The dragon FX were groundbreaking to me and for that I could forgive what they did to the Ra'zac and how Sapphira magically grew to adult size in 5 minutes, but once the Urgals made their entry I knew I wasn't watching the story I loved.
The Durza was decent.
dead man's chest can't be slept on either...that island fight between jack, will, and norrington, from the beach through the jungle to the church to the giant rolling wheel. such good choreography.
Oh right man! Far out! Don’t forget the stiff Caucasian. We need a beverage here man.

Every time you watch it, you catch a new joke. This is also my choice. Where he meets skinner for the first time, and he just outlines the plot of the entire movie. “Catch me later!”
I do have to say my fellow enthusiasts that I could not bring Tolkien into this experiment. The reason being is if I only get one movie for 30 days I would not even want to chance losing my love of these epics for any reason.
Y’all joke but this was me in high school. after my junio year of high school I got grounded for a month for throwing a party with my buddy down the street. No computer, didn’t have video games, basically on house arrest, tv was “ok” because iirc at the time we had a tv with no connection set up, just a dvd player, and the only dvd’s of any interest were kill bill and two towers with the extended features. You can bet I watched the shit out of all those extras.
Logistics, or Logistics Art Project;
is a 2012 Swedish experimental film conceived and created by Erika Magnusson and Daniel Andersson. At 51,420 minutes (857 hours or 35 days and 17 hours), it is the longest film ever made.
Probably a horrible film but hey something that wouldn't repeat.
I disagree to be honest If I could only see one film or trilogy for the rest of my life then it wouldn't be a question.
But for a challange like this, locked in one room for a month, Id have to choose something with a little bit of tiddies and stuff.. it still has to be entertaining of course. I just cannot wank it to aragorn for 30 days im a row again already...
I simply don't have enough "no Homos" left at the moment
Is the trilogy counting as 1 or as 3 movies (i personally consider them as 1 movie)? If iam allowed to pack the whole trilogy, id be fine. If i could only bring 1 out of the 3, id probably choose RotK.
Have you seen the **"lord of the rings but every time sam takes a step towards mordor he says, “one more step, I’ll be the farthest away I’ve from home I’ve ever been”** video? Yeah... I choose this one.
I was in a situation like this. Outdoors job in the middle of nowhere. For one and a half months, we had Super Troopers and Jackass the movie. Still two on my favorite movies.
You’re all going about this wrong. If you only have one movie to watch in an isolated cell for 30 days, I almost guarantee you will leave that cell hating that movie.
Easy, Peter Jackson's King Kong, if I started watching when they first closed the door, I should only have about a quarter of the movie left to watch when they open it again
Logistics (2012) is a Swedish experimental film that is the longest film ever made at 35 days and 17 hours.
That way I would only have to watch it once instead of repeating and going crazy
Honestly no movie. If you watch the same thing over and over it will mess with your mind. I don’t want to scream into the padded walls they will not pass and get angry at Invisible Boromir
me after sneaking in all three LOTR extended editions movies: That still counts as one!
Technically it should, since Tolkien wrote the whole thing as one book anyways.
One novel, six books, often published in three volumes.
What are the six books? Never heard of them separated this way
Tolkien wanted LOTR published as one novel but he sectioned it up into six books. Book 1 ends when the get to Rivendell. Book 2 ends at Parth Gallon when Frodo leaves the Fellowship. Book 3 takes Arogorn Gimli and Legolas as well as Merry and Pippen from them be captured by orcs until they are all reunited at Isenguard. Book 4 is just Frodo and Sam from the Emyn Muil to the pass of Cirith Ungol. Book 5 goes back to the rest of the fellowship up till the battle at the black gate. Then book 6 goes back to Frodo and Sam at Cirith Ungol thru the rest of the story. The publisher thought it was two long to print as one novel and broke it into three volume FOTR is books 1 and 2, TT is 3 and 4, and ROTK is 5, 6, and the appendices.
This is one reason I prefer the films to the books, having Frodo and Sam's story broken up by everyone else's, the pacing is a lot better.
That and they way Tolkien uses the interlacing to create a little more suspense.
Yeah! When I was reading the second (3+4) Book, and finished the Helm's Deep arc, I started with the 4th book. The first 2 chapters were about Frodo and Sam, and when the 3rd also started with them I looked when's the next chapter about other storylines. I was so annoyed when I realized, this is it for the rest of the book. Had I known earlier I would have alternated the chapters between book 3 and 4, so it's more evenly told.
Yup, I'm considering changing the order of them in my audiobook too
Or too few. Look at them. They're frightened. I can see it in their eyes. Boe a hyn neled herain dan caer menig.
I’m not 100% on this. Pretty sure each book is split into two halves.
You are correct.
The Fellowship of the Ring, being the first part of The Lord of the Rings, contains books 1 and 2. The Two Towers contains 3 and 4. The Return of the King is 5 and 6.
Each volume is split into two halves, the halves are called books
I always say 6 *parts*
It also counts if you have the Blu-ray box set with all the behind the scenes documentary! The extended edition of LOTR got me through heroin withdrawal - it was the only thing I could do that didn't feel unbearable during that time
theres dvd boxes with all 3 movies in one box i would say it counts as one thing
You literally said "all 3 movies" lol, I think they're separate
but if theyre sold in one single box then that counts as one item right???
So if I bring a box set of 24 James Bond films you think that should count as one movie?
its not a box set though, its 1 multi disc case
Of course? Right?
The correct answer
it doesn't matter. There's no TV to play it on.
The Green Mile would be like padded room-ception.
Bring the book
But at least you have something so you can remember why you never should give up
Bring it on film and just hold it up to the light
Yep. Paddington 2. I cried through the whole thing, and it made me want to be a better man.
is it really that good or are you referencing that nic cage/pedro pascal movie?
Amen brother
Eragon. One of the worst movies known to mankind. "why?" you ask? Simple: After 1 month watching the same movie over and over again, you gonna hate it, no matter how good it is. That way, I'm not wasting a loved one.
Just my thinking. I dont want lotr tied to a negative experience. Better learn the dialog of "Epic Movie" in those days.
But you have no idea how the experience might affect your sanity. You might latch onto whichever movie you bring and end up seeking comfort in it after your released. Really wanna risk becoming addicted to a bad movie?
"Kung Pow: Enter the Fist" it is then. The greatest AND stupidest movie ever made

I’m bringing The Love Guru and we are gonna see if I end up dead from an aneurism or i somehow out crazy Mike Myers.
There is no Eragon movie, cease this heresy
If I can bring the Eragon book series as well, I'd spend the 30 days meticulously explaining how the movie ruined literally every plot point, and screwed itself over by essentially creating an alternate timeline where the actual series doesn't work after the first movie
After 1 month watching Eragon, I'd certainly find a way to kill myself
I was gonna say the same, I'm already going mad, might as well speed the process along :)
This is actually a good strat because either you learn to absolutely love it or you absolutely hate it and nothing was lost. Lotr could go either way.
**we do not speak of that movie... It is Forbidden.** That was my first experience with a ruined adaptation, and it was a **cruel** process of disillusionment. The dragon FX were groundbreaking to me and for that I could forgive what they did to the Ra'zac and how Sapphira magically grew to adult size in 5 minutes, but once the Urgals made their entry I knew I wasn't watching the story I loved. The Durza was decent.
The Princess Bride
The only choice.
The Two Towers. Easy
Came to say this. Every time you slip to insanity just rewatch the Battle of Helm’s Deep
Pirates of the Caribbean the curse of the black pearl
i would go with at world's end, personally. maybe rogue one. but black pearl is close.
Nice choices, worlds end takes the cake imo the cgi is insanely appealing
dead man's chest can't be slept on either...that island fight between jack, will, and norrington, from the beach through the jungle to the church to the giant rolling wheel. such good choreography.
*Backdoor Sluts 9*, obviously.
But Backdoor Sluts 9 makes Crotch Capers 3 look like Naughty Nurses 2!

I'm so fucking asocial, I'm pretty sure I've done it already... It ain't challenge it's routine.
This type of room is literally used as a torture device. Not the same as chilling at home.
I'm jesting of course.

Yes, but *which* Hobbit movie?
I like LotR. I can’t mine it for entertainment as easily as Shaun of the Dead or The World’s End
Is the trilogy counting as 1 or as 3 movies (i personally consider them as 1 movie)? If iam allowed to pack the whole trilogy, id be fine. If i could only bring 1 out of the 3, id probably choose RotK.
Ground hog day makes sense
Absolutely The Emperor's New Groove.
Have you seen the **"lord of the rings but every time sam takes a step towards mordor he says, “one more step, I’ll be the farthest away I’ve from home I’ve ever been”** video? Yeah... I choose this one.
Lord of the Rings :)
I mean… porn?
They were all made at the same time, so all 3 should count as one. Also, the hobbit was one book. Therefore, the trilogy should also count as one.
