I suddenly had an amazing idea, following my Die Hard recreating the movie last Christmas Eve this year I have managed to get more Christmas films involved. Thanks to my new Grinch Christmas hat, Elf bedding and then the Home Alone and Batman Returns POP figures.
I seriously cannot believe that it has been twenty years now since Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring was released in cinemas. I remember going to the cinema to see it as well, although not fully understanding what exactly it was but I can safely say that I had never witnessed anything like it before and the debate to whether we will ever witness anything on this scale again is very much up for debate.
One of the only pluses about the lockdown last year and when the cinemas reopening they did not have a whole lot of films and Lord of the Rings got a cinema release and they only went and put the extended editions on the big screen (the only editions now really) and I went to see all three of them twice within ten days of the big screen, as Odeon screened them first and then when Cineworld added them in I just had to go again. That was amazing that 19 years on and I still love them more than ever. While I may not watch them on repeat as much as I used to and in particular Fellowship of the Ring, my obsession with the film came a year after the cinematic release when I got the extended edition on DVD that looks like a fancy book. I would seriously watch it and then start it al over again, I have watched them all with the cast commentary and every single special feature.
It’s safe to say I was utterly obsessed with Middle Earth, I managed to read all of the books as well before Return of the King was released and I was just well taken into this magical world. If there was no Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings then you would not be reading this and Let’s Go To The Movies would not exist. It was the film that really grew my love for cinema and how amazing films could really be, no other films have made me feel the way this trilogy did and I don’t think anything will ever come that close. I felt part of the Fellowship and wanted to be on that journey with them, given the way the filming was done we really did feel that way when it came to watching the cast off set as well as on set. I was a member on some Lord of the Rings forums (anyone who is old enough to remember what an Internet forum is) as well as an Orlando Bloom forum. I have never hidden my fangirl moments over Bloom, which all seemed from Fellowship of the Ring, albeit I was slightly disappointed the first time I found out he didn’t actually have blonde hair. Hey, I was 14 years old?

That’s right everyone I have eventually experienced the sheer brilliance and joy that is Seinfeld and now fully aware that December 23rd is none other than Festivus! So I would like to wish everyone a very Happy Festivus!
If you have no idea what this means, then I urge you to watch Seinfeld!

With Christmas Eve falling on a Friday this year I have decided to put on a special event of #FridayFakeCinemaClub. This one is a little bit different though as I know a lot of people will have different commitments and traditions on Christmas Eve, so basically watch this film at any time on Christmas Eve and get talking about it!
Use the hashtag #FridayFakeCinemaClub on Twitter to join the conversation of what is often regarded as the greatest Christmas film of all time.
Start Time: Whenever you want! Streaming Service: Sky Cinema
I cannot help but love how much this reminds me of that classic Phoebe moment in Friends and now each year I will do a blog post about it. Sorry. Not Sorry.
