@cmconseils I admit I didn't watch the extended editions.

That said I've read the Hobbit as a teenager during a familly gathering in a single seating (yes I'm a very fast reader, at the time I probably read between 100 to 200 pages per day of every kind of book I could get). Later in life I read all the books including the Silmarillion. That was well over the 12 hours mark !

I'm not sure if that "shows" though.
