The most I've managed is 4 times in one year due to husband declaring it's "too much". So we settled back into a routine of twice (one in summer, one at Christmas).
Moral of the story, getting married isn't worth it.

He's holding you back from your true potential
Yeah but he's also a great cook so you win some you lose some.
So you married a hobbit. Sounds fair.
We only do once a year. I could do more often, but it would become less special.
I want it to still feel epic each time.
Are we still talking about LOTR?
Yes 😐
I respect your restraint
I ask but the wife says no
This is be best marriage PSA I've ever seen. I've got a new box to check in the pre marriage checklist now for sure.
Why would anyone watch it that many times on Netflix, they don't even have the extended version!!
They probably put it on to fall asleep to.
Almost definitely. They're putting it on 6 days a week, and the familiarity of the music and voices would lend itself to be relaxing.
My only question is are they doing this for themselves, or is it a child that they're lulling to sleep?
Considering they are getting through the whole trilogy I'm guessing it's probably more background noise during work or something.
We had an Xbox hooked up to a wall mounted TV in our company break room. I used to show up first in the morning and play movies and streams on it for people to breeze by and see throughout the day. I could easily see someone doing this in a game store or gaming cafe.
This is probably the real explanation. I've been in several local small businesses where they're constantly streaming the same TV shows/movies every time I go in there.
Yeah LOTR is great because you’d only need to change the movie twice in a full 8 hour shift (for Netflix standard editions)
My wife puts Harry Potter movies on for background noise. We probably play some of them 100 times per year if not more. We only watch maybe 2% of the time though.
The hero of those movies is a slaveowner
And?
Slaveowners are bad, and movies that glorify them are bad. The movies are bad.
You are obnoxious, and your opinion is the stupidest thing I've heard all week.
Disliking pure fiction is one thing, but whining about it to random people online is borderline batshit insane. Take your meds.
Your response to someone not liking a movie on the internet is to accuse them of and shame them for unmedicated mental illness?
You roughly deserve the same amount of respect you give, so an appropriate retort in line with your tone. From one point of view.
So you think that shaming mental illnesses is an equal amount of respect with supporting the rights of slaves not to have their oppression glorified?
It appears my earlier comments were difficult to understand. I thought I was clear and succinct. Perhaps read them again?
Then again it's unsurprising that you are asking for a verification, given that you felt it necessary in the first place to inject a retarded complaint about a fictional story to a random comment, in shitpost, on Lemmy.
I gather from your use of a slur that I was correct in my assessment that you're ableist and pro-slavery scum.
ive put it on for background in the house.
"somebody" is probably a break room somewhere and they just leave it on repeat.
I'm left to wonder if it's a business that leaves it in in the background or a part of a daily playlist? 300 times seems like a bit much...
Like could you even fit that many viewings back to back in a year?? (I kid...)
I mean, they should just have a digital download of that movie by that point instead of streaming the same stuff over and over...
What a novel concept!
Or it was their favourite movie to fall asleep to...
Netflix is concerned about [people]
That's a laugh.
They leave it on when they go to bed.
I know many people like this, these movies becam comfort movies to many 20 years ago.
Hey, my dogs need something to watch while I'm at work. Why not LotR?
I'm pretty sure my brother reached numbers like this for Ghostbusters (TV edit) when he was a little kid.
