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."

  1. Thank you, slashdotting! by Dr.+Spork · · Score: 5, Funny

    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.

    Don't bother, I'll review the movie right here. Let's see... um, Kirk and company hijack the Enterprise and scoot their asses over to the Genesis planet, Kirk's son gets killed, Christopher Lloyd gets iced, and Spock is resurrected on Vulcan.

    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!"

      Curses! And they could have got William Shatner to Play Bombadil Tom as well!

      Yes, but that would have added another 4 hours to the movie...

    ...so that I can see the scene where Galadriel dispenses her gifts
    Erm... you might be thinking of the Late-Nite Cinemax cut of the film there, slugger. Galadriel won't be "dispensing her gifts" to anyone this time 'round. Particularly not to Gimli. What do you think this is, the Howard Stern show?
