Are you feeling thin, sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread? That’s how many people are feeling this time of year. Although the autumn and winter season came upon us faster than a pair of Nazgûl horsemen chasing after an elven princess and a woozy hobbit, there is one way to revive your spirits and replenish your soul: Another rewatch of LOTR.
As sure as the light of Eärendil’s star from Lady Galadriel and the might of a stubborn dwarf, Middle Earth proves to be the only place in our world that consistently provides Fellowship, triumph, and a whole pint (a WHOLE pint) of ale at the Prancing Pony. The tales of the hobbits, the Ring, and the fight against good and evil are sometimes the best cure for our daily ailments out here in the real world. So practice your hooded, elfish mystique and warm up some rabbit stew in your not-so-travel-sized cast-iron pan, because you’re clearly overdue for a rewatch of the One Movie to rule them all.
