One DVD To Rule Them All
Obiwan Kenobi writes "In a gala event last night New Line Cinema revealed their Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring DVD Plans. This includes a 2-disc version on August 6th (in both Pan & Scan and Widescreen, click here for box art), and a special 4-hour, R-rated cut of the film debuting in a 4-disc set on November 12th. While the August release includes some nifty features, it's the four disc version, with the longer cut and three audio commentaries, that really gets the drool flowing."
Now that's what I'm talkin about!
So, do we hate the MPAA this week?
When will it be available in Hong Kong for US $2.50?
I'm trying very hard not to think of either Hobbits or Sir Ian naked. DOH!
Yes, 'cause the books combined are well over a 1000 pages and watching the movie would probably work out better for those who can't handle reading a 1000 page book. :)

Theres always 'one to moan for them all' isnt there....
Exactly how much of the extra footage is "closeup of ring" or "closeup of Frodo in awe".
Somebody walking out of the movie suggested that a good drinking game would be to take a shot every time there was a closeup of the ring. We decided that any viewer, Boris Yeltsin included, would be dead before a single RingWraith had ever appeared.
I mean you can only look at frodo being shocked for so long.........
as a ex-employee of a movie store, i've learend that you shouldn't buy a DVD that's going to be in a series right away, sure it'll be great to be able to watch it and have it so soon, but after the box set comes out you'll punch yourself for buying all of them aready and not getting that cool looking box. So then your going to wonder if you should spend the extra however-many dollars to buy the box set jsut for that cool box, and after you do your gonna wonder if it was worth it jsut for the box, cus sure, the box is cool, but now you have 2 complete sets of the DVDs. on te plus side, you can lend out the old DVDs to friends but on the down side, your not gonna want to open the box set and see all the cool new stuff they have included with the box set cuz the new box look is just so spiffy, but then, on the other hand... you REALLY wanna see the cool new fetures, so you end up with a no longer spiffy looking new box set and a..... um... i forgot where i was going with this... anyways, just wait for the box set to come out cuz box sets are always better than getting the DVD's one by one. you get 2 things, a better deal and more stuff.

...and the movie with the kid seeing dead people (argh what was the title) ...
That was I'm Gonna Git You Sucka.

Just think Liv Tyler...We all know she got one good thing from her dad. Open up Liv...
I'd rather you do it wrong, than for me to have to do it at all.

You put the disk in your player but being The One Disk it makes your player disappear. You then end up poking blindly at the front panel for the play button(or eject button...which ever comes first) or finding the long lost remote.
One DVD to rule them all
One DVD to find them
One DVD to bring them all
And in the darkness bind them
So, naturally, I'll wait for that one..
Either way, I'm waiting until the November release. :)
You know that sooner or later, someone in the adult entertainment industry is going to come out with a spoof called "Lord of the Cock Rings".
Personally, I think Ron Jeremy would make a kickass Sauron. He was so darn evil in Orgasmo.

...I suspect there will be nine DVDs...
The Kruger Dunning explains most post on
- Sundays attitude will be decided via a random number generator. Numbers 1-3 will mean we hate them, numbers 4-6 will mean we like them and numbers 7-9 mean we're flexible: if they put out a good movie, like The Matrix, we like them. If they put out a bad movie, like anything with Leonardo DiCraplio, we hate them.
Milhouse:- Wait...What about 0?
Bart:- Yeah, what about 0?

"Outlook not so good." That magic 8-ball knows everything! I'll ask about Exchange Server next.
Am I the only one that would kill for an 'Elvish Subtitles' option?
... six hours ...
Is that the version with two hours of Tom Bombadil's singing?
I'll bet you hate it when people play songs out of order, too.
Good, because I just hate sitting around watching elves recite the formations of verb tenses.

Ask me about LOOM(TM).
I know for a fact that I wont be able to avoid watching Attack of the Clones, even as I know that Ill be making MPAA/Lucas richer while watching a movie that will surely dissapoint me.
I CANT HELP IT... I AM A JUNKIE!!!
No sig for the moment.
Yeah, that kinda worries me about when we get to see ents--I have the feeling the next theater release might have an extra 2 hours or so tacked on just for a single ent's name--and that's the SHORT version ;)

Assuming you are a patient person, there is a way to have your cake and eat it too -
Buy DVDs second-hand
You get the discs and the MPAA doesn't see one cent of revenue. Plus, you'll have the added bonus of supporting the First Sale Doctrine, which the media and software companies are silently trying to do away with!
We want some answers and all that we get
Some kind of shit about a terrorist threat

I am a Master of the Art of Pee-Fu -- I don't drink so much before a movie that I'll have my legs like twisted pair by the time they used to have intermission.
Clue: That Mega drink you can get for 25 extra? Don't do it! It's not a deal when your urine backups up into your sinuses.
A feeling of having made the same mistake before: Deja Foobar
And you call yourself a master of the Art of Pee-Fu!
Clue: The massive cup from that mega drink will eliminate the need to leave your seat during the movie.
I'll bet that you stop at rest areas on road trips as well...
Peter Jackson directed the very funny but very gory "Braindead", and the very funny but quite disgusting "Meet The Feebles". Expect lots of blood and entrails - however I don't think we'll see Sam chopping up goblins with a lawn mover.
