I watched LOTR: The Return of the King in theaters!! (Patreon)

This week I was fortunate enough to watch The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King in theaters for the 20th anniversary! Shoutout to the patrons who told me that it would be in select theaters this month (I'm glad I got my tickets a month ago because this theater was SOLD OUT). Becoming a LOTR fan later in life, I never expected to be able to watch the movies in theaters, so this was such a special moment to share this movie with others who adore this trilogy as much as I do. I remember that when I finished the trilogy, I wondered if the movies would have as such of an emotional impact as when I first watched them. And after watching this movie in theaters... yes yes yes, I did indeed feel every emotion the same way as I did the first time :) I loved watching it on a big screen, and I feel like I caught on to a lot of things that I may have missed before. 

This also feels like a full circle moment because I first watched the Lord of the Rings trilogy a year ago this month. If you've followed along with any of my Q&As, you know how much I absolutely adore these movies. My reactions to the LOTR also feel like the beginning of the channel and of this community here. I posted some reaction videos sporadically before this, but last April was the beginning of posting consistently and doing this thang full time. This trilogy will always have a special place in my heart for so many reasons, and one huge reason is that it brought a lot of you together to make a great community here :) Thank you all for being on this movie-watching journey with me, and here's to many many more movies and shows together!
