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!

That is if you cant wait till August

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.

TWW

I'd prefer to quit being assfucked by the movies

[Profane Motherfucker]

When I buy a goddamn DVD, I'm buying it to watch the motherfucking movie. I didn't buy it to hear a director with a cleft asshole lisp his way through it, commenting on dry and otherwise completely fucking obvious shit. And I didn't buy it to watch "The making of...." or a documentary about the cunt production. If I want to see a fucking documentary, I'll watch Nova or Frontline.

All this bullshit does is add cost to already outfuckingrageous DVD prices. Take Gladiator for instance. I bought that piece of shit to watch a bunch of fucking people get diced and hear them scream and crumple on my bigass butterzone speakers. I have zero interest in a four hour accompanying documentary. If I was so concerned about fucking history, you'd best believe that Gladiator wouldn't be my first choice. I seriously doubt many Englishman served as fucking gladiators in the Roman Empire of ancient.

If I was to buy this faggoty fucking LOTR movie, it's going to be for the fucking LOTR movie. If I want a fucking documentary, I'll consult one of 9,000 other more reliable sources than a bunch of halfass gypsy rigged bullshit that comes with a DVD and is sold in fucking Kmart.

Lord of the Rings Category?

[scotch]

Yes, maybe it's time for a Lord of the Rings Category at slasdot. I'm sorry, it has to be said. I for one am tired of hearing about this movie - it was good, but not that good. Shit, it didn't even keep me up at night thinking, like really good movies do. Nerds still like to think, don't they? This goes for Star Wars too. Jesus, you'd think those were the only two movies in existence. When the oscar nominations came out, the slashdot article wasn't about the oscars, but about LOTR. When the oscars were awarded, same thing - another LOTR article. There are other movies that appeal to "nerds".

So make a category called Adolescent Movies that Make the Slasdot Editors Stain Their Shorts, then put all these boring stories in that category so those so inclined can summariely ignore them. Stories like how some manufactured second rate pop star is going to wipe Yoda's ass on the next unimaginative installment of the Star Wars franchise can go in this category.

Thank you, and Have a Nice Day.

So, do we hate the MPAA this week?

Here's a Slashdot cheer for people just like you!

Gooooo Slashdot!

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?
