Slashdot Mirror
LOTR Director's Cut Reviewed
popala writes "The first review is in on Home Theater Forum. There are a few screenshots from the unseen scenes and the whole thing is reviewed dvd by dvd! Although I don't like the review itself - I think it is a bit dry and not very journalistic, I do think it is still worth a read - even just a glance of the screenshots from cut scenes."
They really did leave a lot of stuff out of the released version. I don't remember seeing Frodo's nude scene when it was in theatres... :-)

Just as I read down to the part with the screenshots from the new scenes, I got this terrible sense that what I was doing was wrong, and I should not be spoiling this with these low quality, out of context previews. Thankfully, the server cooperated and was unable to load most of the images I was trying to protect myself from. For the first time ever, slashdotting did some good!
Don't you know that if you see an unseen scene you destroy it?
There's something very quantum mechanical about all this, I'm sure. But if you're content to merely contemplate the unseen scene, you can come near the Tao of Middle Earth.

George Lucas was quoted, "There seems to be a bit of this going around."

Sound about right?

Unlike, of course, the fine prose found on Slashdot.
But by cutting him out the film, they miss out on releasing the CD "Tom Bombadil Sings for His Lady!"

I share your pain, friend, but you're in the wrong forum to complain about it. Remember, this is the place where, back in July, they interviewed Piers Anthony with a specific mind to quiz him about the word processor he uses to write his novels.
I'm still cleaning the coffee off my monitor from the spit-take I did on that one.
Does anyone know if these are game-engine, or pre-rendered?

"I'm an amateur costumer"
is that a euphemism for cross dresser?
That was classic intercourse!
Is the realease date. It's also the release date for Star Wars II, AoTC. Wait a second. They're doing it again!
It's a conspiracy to get the geeks away from their jobs.

So much for my mod points in this discussion...and no I'm not smoking crack, I just have rather disjointed thought processes.
Anywhoo,
I just hope LOTR is not going to turn into something like the Aliens series where:
You have the original.
Then the directors cut
Then the Extended Edition
Then the Anniv. Edition
Then the Extended Special Edition.
Quite frankly, everything after the directors cut just made Aliens into an even longer movie.
The thing about the Directors Cut version it *The movie made *PERFECT* sense if you'd seen the first one.
I got LOTR as a gift --*coff*bullshit*coff*-- for my son, knowing, that this extended edition was coming a few more months down the road.
When I have extra income (/sound of coffee being snerked thru noses) I might get this set...or, heck, borrow it from a friend who does. I've got a few who were waiting for *this specific* edition.
Errr...decisions, decisions....
Have you read the moderator guidelines? Well, have you, PUNK? (and I want a Karma: Gnarly option)
You don't mean to say that Slashdotters are actually reading the article before posting, do you..?
Q.
Interesting diversion? I found him to be the Jar Jar Binks of Lord of the Rings...
