FortKnox writes "Mark these dates on your Calendar: 8/26/03 & 11/18/03. These are the (US) DVD release dates for The Two Towers. Like Fellowship, the first date is the release of the DVD, and the November date is the release of the special edition (with rumored extra 48 minutes of footage). Another one ring.net page has more details on the actual footage."

  1. Likewise with FOTR extended DVD by PovRayMan · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I'm hoping I get a $10 coupon to the Return of the King movie.

    I'm a poor college student and I was so happy that I could spend $30 on a 4 Disc DVD, and get a FREE (afternoon shows here are $5.50) showing of the newest LOTR movie. It was very nice walking in to the theature after classes, handing them my coupon, and sneaking a bottle over to the water fountain because I was too broke to even afford a drink.

    Well I got my fingers crossed.

      I sacrificed many meals and ate leftovers from friends and neighbors to save up enough for the dvd. There was a strong sense of value for only $30. I got a movie, tons of extras, and a free pass to the theater.

      Plus the whole eating less made me kill off a couple pounds. I should try it again. the Lord of the Diet... Hmm...

  2. LoTR is much-loved by the "techie" crowd by MtViewGuy · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Actually, I think LoTR is a very well-loved book among the regulars on Slashdot because they all admire Peter Jackson's audacity and vision to actually film three movies out of a book (a long-time favorite among Slashdot readers) that everyone else had said could not be turned into theatrical features.

    It also helps that Jackson created almost from scratch a visual-effects team that has done amazing CGI work that rivals anything done by the folks at Lucasfilm.

    It's the reasons I mentioned above that LoTR deserves its own category in Slashdot. =)
