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!

You paid to see the ad, now pay to see the film

FotR was never a real attempt to adapt the book, the editing made it clear that parts had been held back for the DVD (eg, the trolls), while leaving in totally pointless material to pad it out (the long, tedious fight scenes).

What can I say? It worked: this is going to be the biggest grossing crap movie of all time.

Some people do, some people don't. Where do you live? If I find a person in your home province that says that she hates chocolate and likes vegemite, do I assume that you have the same tastes?

Personally, I'm trying to buy as few DVDs as possible because I have an HDTV setup and a very large VHS and laserdisc collection - I'd rather convert when there is an HDTV format available. I get some DVDs for a few key movies, but that's it. Now that I've stated my personal choice, are you going to claim all of Slashdot is holding off on buying DVDs, or the internet as a whole?
