Slashdot Mirror
The Trilogy as One
jmays writes "New Line is re-releasing 'The Fellowship of the Ring' and 'The Two Towers' except this time, in their respective extended versions. When? Once each week for the two weeks prior to the opening of 'The Return of the King.'"
As if most slashdot members didn't have a bad enough case of office ass...
Call me a pawn of 'the man', but I will be there in the theaters for both of them. The military-entertainment complex will thank me, but my bladder won't.
Three and half hours... Why don't they have intermissions anymore?

Can you image the effects of having an entire nerd populace sitting on its backside for 9 straight hours of LOTR?
- Viruses go rampant as sysadmins fail to respond to urgent system messages
- Patches, code deadlines missed
- Executives everywhere are paralyzed as their IT depts leave for a whole day and they can't figure out what to do when that Blue Screen with the white letters appears (in case you're reading this: reboot)
- More importantly, the obesity % of the American populace has a massive spike

Reminds me of an old Foxtrot cartoon....
The sister asks her kid brother and his friend where they are going. They say they're going to watch 3 Star Wars movies. She says, "All three? back-to-back?" They reply, "No, all three...three times in a row."
My only... my precious...
Man that theatre is going to smell bad. Dec 16th = Smelly LOTR day.
My Ass hurts.
How about the effect on the theatre? Bring your gas masks boys.

I wonder if they will allow catherders into the theater...
catheter sales expected to rise 1200% for the month of December.

How DARE you express such an opinion! I flame thee, sir! Feel my flame! I liked the movies and will not tolerate your going on a PUBLIC forum and having the UNMITIGATED GALL to state a difference in taste! Flame! Take that! And that!

Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.
and what exactly would the cat herders be doing?
... that 9 months from December, we'll see a sharp decline in the number of babies born.
"Derp de derp."
Will every ticket to these special engagements come with a free catheter so we won't have to get up in the exact middle of all three movies to avoid reaching bladder critical-mass? What about a caffeine IV-drip?
I agree. I saw Titan A.E. while tripping on LSD, and I thought it was the greatest movie I've ever seen. I even cried at the end. I haven't watched it again since, so that I don't spoil the wonderful memory. ;)
I'm NOT gonna survive on theater popcorn, hotdogs and mega-jumbo Cokes for 11 hours. I hope they have intermissions between the films so we can hit the mall food court...
So you can pick up a greasy burger, salty fries, and a mega-jumbo coke instead?
The world moves for love. It kneels before it in awe.
August 22nd, 8:00pm PST: "The Fellowship of the Ring"
In tonight's episode, Aragorn relates the tale of Tinuviel to Frodo, as the other hobbits sleep. Insider scoop: according to New Line Television, the actual Tinuviel backstory was filmed, but due to protests by geeks it was dropped in favor of a true-to-book one hour narration by Viggo Mortensen.

Wow, how long have you been saving that link for an opportunity to get a +5 funny?
It's nothing but crumpled porno and Ayn Rand.
Dunno, but a catheter might be a good idea. But I don't look forward to putting one in.

Wouldn't you miss a lot of the movie then?
