Yesterday started the beginning of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey‘s week for our 5 Week Middle-earth Movie Marathon. It’s hard to believe it has already been about 2 years since AUJ was released. Get out your DVDs everyone, and join Bilbo Baggins on his unexpected journey to the Lonely Mountain!

As always, if you are not sure what to do this week, we have some suggestions for you:

• Prepare some yummy snacks and meals inspired by the film – you name it, Bilbo had it in his larder!
• Play the soundtrack to hear many of those oh-so-familiar and comforting themes.
• Watch the film with commentary if you haven’t before.
• Get together with friends and/or family in person or via Google Hangouts/Skype and watch the film together.
• Live tweet your film viewing and use the hashtag #5wkMMM
• Take photos of all of your Hobbit swag and post it to social media with the hashtag #5wkMMM
• If you have other suggestions please tweet them to us @MiddleEarthNews or tell us in the comment section below!

Share and Enjoy

Author: Myla Malinalda After being dragged to see The Fellowship of the Ring back in 2001 with her dad, Myla fell head-over-hobbit-feet in love with Middle-earth. Myla would love nothing more than to be able to live peacefully in the Shire and go on the occasional adventure with Bilbo. She has a habit of becoming too attached to fictional characters and buying too many copies of the same book. Myla enjoys creating art whenever she can and collecting all things relating to Tolkien.
