Info on the LOTR:FOTR DVD
WonderBoy Cox writes "IGN's FilmForce has an interesting article about the much anticipated Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring (LOTR:FOTR) DVD coming in the fall of 2002, and the next two movies. According to Jackson The Two Towers is fairly complete in rough cut and Return of the King is coming along nicely. "Both films will be between two-and-a-half and three hours in length with 500 to 600 effects shots, much like the first movie." But, the best part, is that he DVD will have around 30 to 40 minutes of extra footage! "
There's a reason the footage isn't in the original cut. Why would you be lured to buy an expensive DVD just because the distributor threw in an extra hour of crap that they tossed on the cutting room floor that cost them absolutely nothing to append to the DVD?
The only thing worth buying DVD's for are the movies themselves. All the other "extras" they claim are in them are just crap. Seriously -- do I need to watch all the versions of a movie's trailers from TV and the theater when I'm two seconds away from watching it anyway?
Whoa! LOTR DVD! forget that! I can't wait! wow!
Just give me lots of Eowyn pining after Aragorn, and Merry copping a feel on horseback.
How much more lingering over painfully attractive, bathetic, cloyingly emotive faces can one tolerate before shaving one's head and climbing the nearest water tower? I guess we'll find out.

Tell your sister it's just a movie and not to be scared.
So, 30-40 minutes extra footage? How many more scenes of Frodo crying does that translate to?
