Following our very successful FOTR-EE<\/strong> movie watch party of last week, the fun continues this Saturday as we settle in to view The Two Towers Extended Edition<\/strong>. Join us in TORn’s Hall of Fire chatroom tomorrow when we dust off our copies of the film and pop it into the DVD player. After the usual confusion, at around 5.30pm EST we’ll all press play on our individual DVD players and proceed to cheer and jeer (or discuss and argue, if you like!) the finer points of the film. We will finish up next weekend (January 28th) with Return of the King<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

We’d be delighted if you could join us.<\/p>\n

We plan to take a break midway through the film, to allow for stretching of fingers and backs. Barliman will be on hand to serve drinks and snacks (and to enforce the house rules).<\/p>\n

WHERE?<\/strong><\/p>\n

On TORn’s IRC server, in the #thehalloffire channel. After joining the server, type \/join #thehalloffire<\/strong> to get there.<\/p>\n

If you’ve never been to TORn’s IRC server before, you can join through our java applet<\/a> and type \/join #thehalloffire once you’re signed in. We recommend you visit our FAQ for some guidelines on using our IRC service<\/a>. Barliman\u2019s is a place for good conversation about JRR Tolkien\u2019s works. We welcome you to our community and ask that you, and all guests, abide by some simple guidelines<\/a>.<\/p>\n

HOW?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Once everyone is in #thehalloffire and has their DVD ready to go, the ops will moderate the room and have a countdown to “Play.” I expect that we will be able to give minute-markers throughout the evening for latecomers. A break will be taken midway through — the exact point will be announced in the topic.<\/p>\n
