I know a highschooler that won't watch anything from before 2000, won't watch lotr for other reasons like broken attention span.

A marathon of the extended editions is exactly what they need. Phone locked away during viewing.

Did this with my 16yo a couple months back. She was sick last week and marathoned them again on her own.

I was so proud

It's honestly one of my favourite marathons to do on a cold winter weekend, excited for my annual viewing :)

Yeah, back in uni I used to do one with my friends at least once a year. We'd get about 10 people crammed into a room with a monitor, bring an unhealthy amount of snacks, plan to start at 9am, have tech issues till 11 or 12, and then watch until midnight or 1am with a break for pizza in the evening. It was great.

That does sound great, may be time for a sleepover viewing with the friends methinks, with some pipe weed
