artemis67 writes "A six-minute trailer for The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, Extended Edition, has been released, and it's quite good. We get to see some snippets of the final confrontation between Gandalf and Saruman, as well as some other intriguing scenes that will add a lot of depth to the final movie. The Extended Edition will add an additional 50 minutes to the film, bring the total for the Extended trilogy to 11 hours and 20 minutes."

For my 30th birthday, I am going to indulge myself in couch-potato madness and watch all 3 trilogies in sequence. 11hr and 20 min is a significant investment of time, but I think it can be done.

7am: friends arrive, pancake breakfast.
8am: Fellowship of the Ring (~4+ hrs)
12:30pm: Lunch
2:00pm: The Two Towers (~3 1/2 hrs)
5:30pm: Dinner
7:00pm: Return of the King (~ 4 1/2 hrs)
11:30pm: Eyes ooze out of our sockets, bedsores open on our asses.

Our first baby is on the way, so I know I'll never get to do something this irresponsible and useless again. :)

Jackson has totally changed everything again! by sgant · 2004-11-30 02:27 · Score: 5, Funny

Added scene showing Sauron (digitally placed in over an actor), talking to Denethor inside the olephant hanger.

Changed the title to "Revenge of the King"

Totally changes the concept of The Ring. In this changed version they explain that everyone has Rings inside of them, yet Frodo is a special case because he has extra Rings inside making him the most powerful Ring Bearer ever.

Now Sauroman shoots first!

I think I'll write a version of Lord of the Rings told entirely from the point-of-view of Tom Bombadil:
The Fellowship of the Ring: Bombadil Style -- Tom wanders around the forest singing, and briefly visits with some hobbits carrying a trinket of little interest.
The Two Towers: Neither of Which Bombadil Lives In -- Goldberry makes tasty treats while Tom cleans his boots.
The Return of the King: Someone Bombadil Thinks he Knows -- Tom and Old Man Willow discuss philosophy and sing songs. Some strange doings down south make the sky turn dark, but then it's all light again, and that calls for some drink! The end.
