November 12! The release of the extended version DVD of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring!
What does this DVD offer:

30 minutes of extra scenes, the ones that were too long for the cinema version (BTW they are incorperated (spelling?) into the movie, not just pasted at the end)

euhm thousends of extra's like enceclopedia (I think)


There is also a collector's edition with 2 stone book holders:

I'm going to get the collector's edition (yes I'm crazy): about $70!! :D :p

Yeah I kinda want that, but we already have the normal LotR DVD so yeah... :unsure:

But I mean 30 extra minutes of stuffs! Plus a lot of other extras...

and BTW, yes the extra 30 minutes is placed back in the film where it would have been if it wasn't cut out... Although there may be two versions on the set... the normal and then the one with the extra 30 minutes put back in...

So yeah...

For $70 dollars, those bookholders better not be made of cardboard. :D ;)

Do they have a version of the DVD with all the bonus footage but without the stone sculptures?

Edit: I actually was looking through a Circuit City ad and they have the 30 hour extended DVD for only $30. Of course it doesn't include the sculptures, but it sure is a lot cheaper.

Edit again: The same thing that is $30 at Circuit City is $25 at Best Buy, so buy it there. Until that is I find it somewhere else cheaper. :)

Yep as you've noticed, they have it. :)

Hmm if that version is $30, the one with the sculptures should be under $60. :)

Can't wait! I'll be in line (what line? :rolleyes: ) on Tueseday at 9:00 AM! :D

Great!!! Absolutely amazing! The scenes add so much to the movie! Especially when they're in Lorien! :D

I want to see it again, but I don't have a DVD player here! :(

I thought that Lord of the Rings was an alright movie. I kind of liked it, but honestly it isn't even my favorite Peter Jackson film. New Line is really going all out on that stupid DVD. It has way too much crap on it. But then again, I guess I'd probably feel different if I liked the movie.

It's only in human nature to milk something successful for all it's worth.

Thanks for sharing with us Angrist, sounds like the extras are really cool. Too bad they aren't on the standard DVD because I don't think many people are going to put out $70 for the extras, just extreme fans like yourself. ;)

I wonder what kind of extras we'll see in 8 Mile? Maybe a free Eminem bobblehead! :D ;)
