Puttin’ the Blog in Balrog – Drinkalong the Third

by sj

Yay!  We get to finish Fellowship of the Ring tonight!

Did you miss last week’s drinkalong?  NO PROBLEM!  I’ve conveniently storified it for everyone RIGHT HERE.  Well, most of it.  Look, storify was being weird last week and hiding tweets, so that’s not really the entire thing, but it’s MOST of it.  Calm down.  It’s still a good read.  Lots of fun was had and there were many lulz.  You want to get in on the lulz, don’t you?

OF COURSE YOU DO!

Here’s how you can.

Take a look at this countdown clock.  I’m not even bothering posting the time differential like I did before because you should all know what time we’re starting by now, right?  Right.

Anyway, last week we left off shortly after Gandalf vs. Balrog as the rest of the fellowship was running to Lothlórien.  We’ll pick up here, and watch around 1:15 together.

I was thinking that for the rest of the drinkalongs we can watch a disc a week.  Is everyone cool with that?  I don’t know about the rest of you, but with the revised rules, I was still pretty sober when we hit stop.  This is unacceptable, guys.  UNACCEPTABLE.

Also, if we do it at the new pace, I won’t have to spend 12 weeks watching the movies.  I <3 you people, but that’s just torture.  I’m not into that.

Let’s all try using the #PtBiB tweet chat again, like we did last week – just be careful.  Apparently since it’s a 3rd party app, wonkiness ensues if you tweet too frequently/RT too much.  Both Kate and I ended up in twitter jail last week and it was NO FUN.

~o~

And, um…look – this has nothing to do with anything, but it made us laugh.

So, yeah.  Legolas is probably enjoying that a little too much, don’tcha think?

  1. This time I’m watching a digital copy that came with my Blu-ray, but it is all one file. Mine shows 58 minutes remaining at the part where I think we’re supposed to start. Does that sound right to everyone else?

    • I just checked to make sure. This would be chapter 37 we’re starting at (chapter 10 on disc 2). I have that there’s 1:18 left to this movie.

      • I have no idea why, but when I went to 1:18 remaining, it was back at the well in Moria. I hope I don’t have the theatrical version, because it even says “Special Extended Edition” in the file name. Maybe they cut off 20 minutes worth of fan club credits at the end.

        • Ughhhhh, now I’m all concerned. I didn’t think there was 20 minutes worth of credits to this one. I knew there were a lot, but I didn’t think it was that much. [sigh]

  2. Dude, post a warning next time. I was drinking something when I scrolled down and saw that picture. Laughter nearly destroyed my laptop.

  3. Dodisharkicorn’s llittle shark horn poking up there is mighty cute. And possibly naughty.

  4. I was just thinking about how much I missed the dodisharkicorn, and then two sightings in one day! First on Rachel Maddow and now here! (For serious, guys. It’s about a minute in. The host talks about the Dodisharkicorn. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26315908/ns/msnbc_tv-rachel_maddow_show/#48347334 )

  5. I have 0 (ZERO) guests this weekend and can come play!

  6. More angry movie-watching! Yay! Hahaha! We’ll be there with bells on. (I’m also good with watching a disc a week.)

  7. Twitter jail? Does that mean you’re forced to talk about Justin Bieber and come up with all the horrible Twitter hash tags (#replacesexyinamovietitle)? Sounds rough!

  8. Ha! Legolas is jumping the shark… (which is clever on at least three levels).
    Can’t we do a drink along while we read the books? Or are we just supposed to assume we are all drunk while we are reading?
