Lord of the Rings Upside Down! Can't Post

Have you viewed any number of the Lord of the RIngs films with an inverted picture? This means you either sat on your back during the film or you flipped the screen upside down so that the the intended bottom of the picture was at the top and vice versa.
I have watched the Fellowship of the Ring and a portion of the Two Towers upside down so far. I flipped my TV upside down after realizing that it would be painful to lay on my back for three or more hours at a time.
This is quite the experience and I challenge any person who considers themselves a hardcore Middle Earth fan to attempt this.
Let me know if you have thought of this or if you have done this unintentionally. If you think this is silly and wish to express that you won't be trying this ever.... please vote "What?"
***WARNING TO THOSE INTERESTED IN ATTEMPTING:
· Do not eat excessive amounts of food because prior to upside down viewing because it is common for nausea to occur.
· Consider watching in intervals if you choose to literally lay on your back, because blood will collect in your head and cause discomfort.

Yes certainly. Hanging your head off the side of the couch does count.

partially not on purpose. [In reply to] Can't Post

My niece fell asleep on me, while watching Lord of the Rings, and I was hanging off the couch at an odd angle. By the time she woke up, the second disc of the Two Towers Extended edition was over and past the credits... and I had a splitting headache. But it was worth it.
