Our 5 Week Middle-earth Movie Marathon has officially begun! From now until November 1, we will be celebrating the first installment from The Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Fellowship of the Ring.

If you don’t know what to do this week, we have some suggestions for you:

• See how many times this week you can sneak in “One does not simply…” and “You shall not pass!” into everyday conversations.
• In honor of Peter Jackson’s first cameo, take a carrot selfie and use the hastag #5wkMMM
• Cook Middle-earth inspired meals/snacks: a cake in honor of Bilbo’s birthday, tomatoes, sausages, nice crispy bacon or lembas!
• Listen to the soundtrack when you’re running errands or when you just need some Middle-earth in your ears.
• Watch the movie with friends and/or family. If you can’t meet in person try out Google Hangouts or Skype.

If you have any other suggestions, tell us in the comment section below!

The Middle-earth News staff will be doing live tweeting throughout the five weeks! Join @middleearthmama and @MeNewsValdis at 2 PM EDT Oct. 26 as they watch FOTR. Join the discussion!

Remember to use the hashtag #5wkMMM!
