Wahoo! The kiddo has agreed to watch #FellowshipOfTheRing! 🧙‍♀️✨

One chance to hook her, do I go theatrical or extended cut? My gut says extended (might be the only time she watches it!), but she loves history and lore… the lack of PoCs has always been a hurdle (for me and likely her).

On the plus side, I love Tolkien and used to read her The Hobbit at bedtime, fingers crossed, some of that magic sticks. 💍📚

Which version would you pick for a first-time watch?

This may be my favorite take on Fellowship of the Ring:

"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

-- J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
