  1. Tom? by mattr · · Score: 0, Troll

    I boycotted LoTR films after realizing they cut my favorite scene in the entire series - the valley of Tom Bombadil. I'll buy the whole thing on DVD though if all his scenes are in there. Is it worth hoping for?

  2. Sad news ... Stephen King dead at 57 by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Horror/Sci Fi writer Stephen King was found dead in his Maine home this

    morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you

    didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.

    Wow you guys are so easy to please, i think im gonna release my own DVD box-set with 8 extra hours of Bilbo scratching his ass between takes, i wonder how much i can sell it for!? Seriously did they suddenly just find all this extra footage and think "oh, whoops, we're gonna have to re-release RoTK" why not just sell it separately? well really i don't blame them, i only hope one day i too can be such a masterful business man.
