Puttin’ the Blog in Balrog – Drinkalong the Fourth

by sj

So, last week we agreed to start watching a disc at a time, so we can keep up the pace and finish these before winter gets here.  I think this is a very smart decision, as I am ONLY watching these movies for you guys.  I would not normally subject myself to them, but it is fun playing drinking games with my friends and having other people that don’t get mad at me for my numerous scoffs and sighs and “That DIDN’T HAPPEN!”s.

This Friday at 10:15 pm EDT, we’ll all be starting the first disc of The Two Towers.  Look, if you thought I got ranty before, that was NOTHING compared to how I feel about this one and RotK.  You’ve all been warned.  Just sayin’.

New countdown clock is here.

Storifies (can I use it like that?  I think so.) for the previous drinkalongs can be found here, here and here.

Tweetchat for the group is here.  It’s nice not having to remember to type in the hashtag every time, just be careful of how frequently you tweet, we don’t need everyone in twitter jail.  (ALTHOUGH, Heather did mention that she likes having more than one twitter account for just that reason, so I may look into that before Friday.)

Hope to see you all there!

  1. I am just going to start drinking now… let me know when I win.

  2. I don’t know if I’ll be able to participate. I was ousted from my house….again. Our basement flooded and so now we have no water or something so we have to stay with my parents….again. I did remember to bring the book RotK but I did not remember the TT movie….which is currently in the flooded basement.

  3. I’m in! And I’m ready for your “That DIDN’T happen!”s and to add in my own, because this was DEFINITELY my least favorite movie! Everyone needs to prepare to be wasted, due to the numerous “Legolas performs physically impossible feats”.

  4. Would you please let me know how many extended scenes I may have to pause for, and what scene your disc ends with? Pretty please if you time before 10:15? Snoochie boochies!

  5. I think I lied last night. The movie does not pass the Bechdel test because mom is never named.
