So that we can all enjoy the peace-of-mind of knowing that we're all about to die, in advance.;)
We're all going to die eventually. But throughout all of history, mankind has yearned for the day when we all get to die at the same time. It's not as scary as dying alone, or as scary as the thought the world will go on without us.
I guess in the states it's form over function:-P and an ugly form at that;)
They're not all that functional either - unless a mountain should suddenly spring up on the way to the kids' soccer practice. Obviously a few people have a need for those sorts of vehicles, but I question the volume of them I see on the road.
Probably not. TTT Oscar screeners leaked out last February but that didn't change its DVD release date. Previously, the DVD releases were timed to work as advertising for the next film. With no new film to advertise, there isn't as big a need to hold them back.
Though I expect RotK:EE's extra FX work will mean it won't get pushed much closer than November.
Disney will. Some films might get a limited theatrical run but all will eventually wind up on DVD with new dubs and the original language track intact - much like the last three Ghibli films Disney put out ("Kiki's Delivery Service","Castle in the Sky" and "Spirited Away")
New Line have announced some box set that's supposed to be coming out which I didn't know anything about. When I've done 'King Kong' I'd like to do a proper box set and we've got a whole bunch of material - not of the movie but we've got a whole lot of bloopers out there! When King Kong's out the way I'd like to do a really high definition version with the best possbile picture quality.
Apparently a boxed trilogy version is on the way. But since Peter Jackson hadn't heard of it, it's likely to be just a boxed set of the existing discs without anything new whatsoever. And since he'll be busy making different movies for the next several years, I think the RotK:EE will be the end of the LotR DVDs for some time.
The problem, as I see it, is that there will be a lot of pressure to make this movie bigger and better than then the previous three. But it shouldn't be: The Hobbit is a smaller story in every sense. Trying to "out do" LOTR with it's story would destroy it completely - it is a really just one small adventure in a very big world.
The execs are getting a movie with trolls, orcs (goblins), eagles, Beorn, a dragon and a battle of five armies. I expect that'll be "epic" enough to suit them and the audience without straying far from the source material.
Not to mention Peter Jackson will have as much (or more) creative control this time around.
People's expectations will be high (cough*EpisodeOne*cough) and if he doesn't deliver, it won't matter how good of a movie it is, he's going to get ripped a new one.
The difference is, people *do* know what to expect from "the Hobbit", having read the book and seen the LotR films. And this one is much more conductive to film than those were, which should make his work even easier. All PJ has to do is not foul things up and the fans will be back like they were for the previous movies.
I've owned 5 AMD processors from the K5 to an Athlon64 and all are still in perfect working order. But these sorts of anecdotes aren't very helpful in determining average chip reliability.
The special editions were released on VHS in autumn 1997. No version of the original three Star Wars movies have ever had a legitimate DVD release until now.
It was made *very* common knowledge to everyone long before the DVDs were for sale. There was no "trick the fans out of money" going on there.
The regular edition of the FotR actually lists "An Inside Look at the Special Extended DVD Edition" as one of the bonus features on the back of the DVD case. Thus, anyone who bothers to look at the contents should be able to deduce that "special extended DVD edition" is on the way prior to it appearing on store shelves.
That.php extension is always a sign of doom for a webserver. I'm sure that dynamic, script-driven website seemed like a good idea until a ton of people decided to come knocking all at once...
So - which is it? Is closed-source or open-source more secure?
In theory, open-source should be more secure because it can be fixed by anyone. This leaked-source cannot be fixed by anyone but Microsoft, but can be exploited by anyone.
The BitTorrent checksum ensures the ISO you're getting is the same as everyone else is getting. But that's not a guarantee it hasn't been altered from the original prior to being shared. For official torrents this isn't much of an issue, but it's good to keep in mind for 3rd party ones.

Posted at the exact same minute, even. I think I share a brain with AndroidCat.
I hear the bagpipe playing robot is still in development.

Bilbo was 51 when he set off on his adventure. Frodo is 50 when he sets off on his. You can check the dates in the RotK appendeces.

Fortunately, PJ is setting his "King Kong" remake back in the 1930s so it'll be a non-issue.

Geneon (aka Pioneer) has the license according to Yahoo! Japan, but no R1 release date is set that I'm aware of.

That, and consumers tend to grumble when they get one; they'd rather have two discs in a double Amaray or a bunch of them in a Digipack.
I actually prefer the fan covers since they feature the original poster art. The John Berkey painting for "Star Wars" really brings back the memories.

He got a prize already. Hence his name.
Nah. They just don't want to bother Sutekh.
