Three best of the decade lists follow, all yoinked from Slashfilm. For each list, I’ve marked the films I’ve seen and the films we have in our movie collection at home.

Four Years

While I’d been keeping hand-updated websites since ‘95 or so, November 25th, 2000 marked my first foray into using a software engine to keep track of the random rambling I occasional put up on my website, starting me stumbling into the world of weblogging.

From Alicia, a list of the top 100 grossing movies of all time. Following in the footsteps (blogsteps?) of those before me in this particular meme, the movies that I have not seen are in bold.

Shrek 2

We also saw Shrek 2, which was a far more enjoyable experience than Troy.

The Internet Movie Database top 250 films, as voted by IMDB members. Movies I’ve seen are in bold — exactly half, as it turns out.

LotR:TRotK EE DVD - 4h50m+?

By Michael Hanscom
– December 28, 2003

Apparently, Peter Jackson recently revealed that the DVD Extended Edition of Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King ‘will be longer than 4 hours and 50 min’ long!

Return of the King nitpicks

By Michael Hanscom
– December 25, 2003

After watching RotK for the second time today, I’m still quite solidly convinced that Jackson’s trilogy is, quite simply, one of the greatest achievements in filmmaking in recent years. However, that doesn’t stop me from finding the occasional odd thing to mention…such as two goofs, and a few editing choices that I’m not entirely happy with.

MiddleEarth mania, week two: The Two Towers

By Michael Hanscom
– December 17, 2003

And speaking of LotR, I just realized that I’d completely forgotten to say anything about seeing LotR:TTTEE at the Cinerama on Saturday.

MiddleEarth mania, week one: The Fellowship of the Ring

By Michael Hanscom
– December 8, 2003

Saturday Prairie and I started our three-week string of Lord of the Rings movie watching with the Cinerama’s showing of Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring Extended Edition.

Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (Special Extended Edition)

By Michael Hanscom
– November 23, 2003

First off, and most simply, if you’re a fan of the series, there’s no question about it. This is a must-buy DVD (as is, incidentally, the extended edition of Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring). Feel free to stop reading this and just go buy it.

Sigh

As of right now — 10am on the day that tickets were available to be purchased — the Lord of the Rings Marathon at the Cinerama is sold out.

Dec. 16: LOTR Marathon

It’s official: the Lord of the Rings Marathon will be at the Seattle Cinerama on Dec. 16th.

Lord of the Rings Marathon

By Michael Hanscom
– August 22, 2003

Two weeks before ‘Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King’ opens, the extended versions of ‘LOTR: The Fellowship of the Ring’ and ‘LOTR: The Two Towers’ will be released to theaters — and some theaters will have a day-long LOTR marathon with back-to-back screenings of all three films on Dec. 16th.

The Two Towers

By Michael Hanscom
– December 19, 2002

While…LotR:TTT admittedly cannot stand entirely on its own as a single entity (and I would hate to be someone in the unenviable position of attempting to watch LotR:TTT without having first watched LotR:FotR), as the second chapter in an epic saga, it is far and away an absolutely incredible achievement.

Star Wars: Attack of the Clones

One word: overkill.

The Lord of the Rings, by J.R.R. Tolkien

By Michael Hanscom
– April 12, 2002

It really is as good as people say it is. Not that I ever really doubted that, however, it’s far different to have so many people hold it up as a masterpiece of fantasy, and to be able to actually form that opinion for yourself.

Site fixed, new addy, and LOTR

By Michael Hanscom
– December 20, 2001

Just got back not too long ago from Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. In a word — incredible.

Argh…

By Michael Hanscom
– December 19, 2001

Well, I was experimenting a bit with the layout of the site, and managed to more or less hose things fairly well. I’ll try to get them straightened out as soon as I can, but not sure when that’ll be.

Upcoming reading material

In the course of a LotR discussion quite a few books and series were mentioned, and I thought I’d jot some of them down so I can pull from this list next time I need to find a book to dive into.

Aaaah! I wanna see it! I wanna see it now!

Reviews of the first Lord of the Rings film, Fellowship of the Ring, are starting to hit the net…here’s what I’ve found so far.
