The day draws near...
 

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

Wicked!! I can't wait to get them!! I'm a LOTR freak---just a currently broke LOTR freak.

no one is more LotR freaky than me!! :)

i just bought the first book of the HoME series and boy is t confusing.

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...

meh, i'll get my parents to buy me it for christmas

Hey Shiz you're really into Tolkien! I'm currently in Unfinished Tales. I've read LotR, The Hobbit and The Silmarillion all twice. :)

Can't wait for Tueseday! :D

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

It could be $60, not sure.

They're made of stone. :D

2 days! :D:D :p

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

Actually... in the Target ad the box set of the extended DVD and the two sculptures the price tag is $70. :(

angrist ive read unfinished tales, lotr,silm, hobbit all three times hah!

btw, you might remember me, im an old friend....keep it on the down low pal.

Hehe... huh I don't know you! :confused:

That's weird, here the collectors edition is less than twice the normal price... :confused:

I am going to get it for Christmas. Um, is this the one with like the "rated R" scenes?

think angrist.....think

who knew more than anyone at this forum about lotr?

dont say it aloud, but yes thats me

You mean...you're...no, it can't be.

He's who?

damnit i didnt want you all to guess, just angrist haha

im the only one on the board who knows who he really is

i remember hearing who he was before somewhere, cant remember his name though, meh

prolly didnt hear it on the boards... im pretty sure almost nobody knows... me shiz.. and maybe a few others....

i think happy know emil....btw ive never heard happys name, what is it?chris or something?

Hey I tried to hide that I knew! I PMed you.... :rolleyes:

Oh well, as long as you behave properly.. :D

Happys real name is Artem :P...... ive said it a few times..

like ARTEMIS PRIME?

whats an artemis?

I have it!! :D :p :D

:roll:
Going to open it now!

edit:

Wow! I read here that most of the scenes have been extended! Like half of them!! And there are like 6 totally new scenes!! :D

Now for the statues...

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 ;)
