LOTR Trilogy

Da Penguin Senior Member USA 1094 Posts	Posted - 16 Dec 2003 : 08:23:14 Just to brag a little, Yes, as the title says, I will be attending the Lord of the Rings Trilogy today. It starts at noon:15, and I will be leaving shortly. All three movies in one day! If anyone wants details of ROTK, I might share them later, but no spoilers. ~The Penguin \| Want free 68kmla email?

I'm looking forward to the eventual DVD release of extended versions of the entire trilogy so I can sit down and watch everything. But knowing the studios, I will have to wait through a series of DVD releases of "gold edition," "extended edition," "super director's cut edition," "super duper gold director's cut HDTV edition with collectible book ends," etc. Each edition will claim to be the ultimate version until the next edition comes out and yanks another $x9.95 out of your wallet.

Da Penguin Senior Member USA 1094 Posts	Posted - 18 Dec 2003 : 05:21:36 Oh shh, I was in the theater for 14 hours The ending was actually kind of rushed, in one way. They were trying to cover what had been written, which is quite sporadic in the appendices, and I think they pulled out what was best from the end to give the viewer a better sense of what is going on. I don't want to give away any details, but if they had just left after some certain scene or two and ended it there, there would be MANY people asking what happened to [insert name here]. ~The Penguin \| Want free 68kmla email?

Bit of a Spoiler Ahead!*** One thing that bothered me was that they left out the burning of the Shire. I heard that the director guy (sorry I forgot his name) didn't like that part so he just plain didn't film it! So I found it entertaining that Frodo and Sam go back 13 months later and the Shire is just how they left it. -------------------- Christophillis- Portable Squadren Commander 68k Macintosh Liberation Army Total 68k Macs Liberated: 6.02x10^23 Or just 6 Number One, you have the helm.

That'd be Peter Jackson, a good salt-of-the-earth Kiwi lad if ever there was one. In case anyone's interested, his earlier films are also worth watching, although all are filmed on FAR smaller budgets. His first effort, Bad Taste is truly a low budget splatter-movie classic. I think it still holds some record for the most litres of sheep's blood ever flung around a movie set or something similar. Also notable are Brain Dead (another horror/splatter flick) and Meet the Feebles (think the Muppet Show on acid). There were a couple of later ones too (forget the names)... one of which starred Michael J Fox, but I felt these were starting to show a bit too much Hollywood-style polish to be as entertaining as the older ones.
