Discos
Well, ya know me, i had a look for a thread which was to do with rotk dvd

I am just waondering what your plans are for tomorrow, as in how are you going to buy the dvd and where from and your expected price topay

I will pay any price I say, and shall be getting it from Tesco which is at the very edge of town (luckily for me the edge of town is across the road and all i have to do is jump some neighbours back garden lol)

I will be getting up at 7am and going down at 8am and buying it!

Thorondor
well not to make you all jealous or anything...but i already have it MWUAHAHAHAHHAHA...my friend works for the sound and vision part in sainsburry's and she got me a copy big grin

shadowy_blue

I already have a copy of the theatrical version, you see. I just want the EE. big grin

Cynethryth

shadowy_blue
All we know is that it's coming on November, but we're still not even sure yet. stick out tongue

shadowy_blue
aacckkk!! Exa!!! eek!

Cynethryth
Lol - what?


The official date is "holiday 04", others say "summer", and I heard August from several sources

So I think it's the "real" date wink

would make sense I think as the theatrical version was also released three months earlier than the others

Discos
tough, you read it

Fëanor
roll eyes (sarcastic)

badkittykitty
yay! got it! just watched and am going to watch again...right about now!

Agent Elrond
am i the only one w/o it?

shadowy_blue
I don't have it too. I wouldn't be buying it. I'm waiting for the EE instead. smile

Agent Elrond
i'll buy both when they come out

<<Solo>>
I bought it.....WOHOOO!

mikeysgothicgur
I haven't bought it yet but, when I have some extra cash in my pocket I'm going to go do some major DVD shopping!

Creechuur
Am I the only one that thinks the extras on disc 2 kinda...well...suck?

I kept seeing the same footage and hearing the same voiceovers on almost every documentary and featurette. I know the real meat of the extras will be in the Extended Edition, but disc 2 is pretty thin.

That being said, the movie rocks and I am happy to finally be able to watch the whole thing at home. Thank you Peter Jackson, and everyone else who had anything to do with making this masterpiece.

Cynethryth

Tassie
^^hopefully not messed Cuz I'm not getting it either...

is this a sexist thing stick out tongue how come most of the guys have it, and only a few girls don't

Discos
I somewhat, sort of agree with you. I was dissapointed not seeing the EE advert or making of ya know?

The first "page" of the bonus disc was not bad and the super-trilogy-trailor was awesome!

Discos
perhaps for these reasons

1) don't have chash
2) wont tell people they have bought it
3) waiting for the EE to come out
4) perhaps there are more guys on this forum?

Fëanor
and here's my opp on why the guys got it...

1 - beg, borrow and steal
2 - say they have it to rub it in to those that don't
3 - couldn't wait for the EE...likw everything else...we're "quick" wink
4 - and there are more guys on this forum...

on another note to those who've got it...did anyone else think at the end when the 4 hobbits were at the Green Dragon, that the hobbit carrying the pumpkin looked a lot like the actor who plays smeagol??? or was it just me??

A.D. Skinner
You mean Andy Serkis ???

Hmm, interesting

Thorondor
just you feanor....i played it with the subs on so now i know what they say that i couldn't make out at the pics

Cynethryth
eek! eek!

And I thought I was the only one who thought so... my friends never believed me when I told them stick out tongue

Discos
ha I actually did think he remembered me on someone but couldnt put my finger on it, but now you mention it serkis would be a matching fit lol

Discos
Everybody knows people bought it because of the Eagles!

Thorondor
i have to agree with discos


edit on the eagles thing not the pumpkin man

Discos
lol look at thor's sig, doesn that say something

it looked like the eagle below Gwaihir whilst carrying Frodo from Mount Doom (may have been Landroval, but think he was carrying Sam) looked like his wings were away to cut frodos face

Cynethryth
offtopic sad

Thorondor
laughing i was thinking the same thing....like ooooh that's gonna hurt so much if that eagle hits him

Fëanor
big grin ...crack the whip Cyne...

so it was andy serkis(sp)...i just looked again...the hair is diff but the ear is the same...plus they made him up to look a little healthier than when he was smeagol...

Cynethryth
roll eyes (sarcastic) stick out tongue

So it's really Serkis? I don't have the DVD, can't look for it sad

Healthier? OH yea lol big grin but thats not really difficult stick out tongue

Fëanor
yep...i'm gonna put it on my comp and do snapshot of both for comparison...

Discos
sorry Cyn

well, I have watched it twice now, yesterday and earlier this afternoon.

for some reason I really hate the shelob scene, perhaps as it isnt my thing ya know.

The dvd features is a little downer as Feanor said (or trickster, cant remember),

Discos - but we shall watch it....none-the-less roll eyes (sarcastic)

Thorondor
lol i like how it says sean bean on the back of the case when he gets like 2 seconds screen time laughing


OMG how good are the drawings in the creds big grin

Cynethryth
YEY eek!

btw, I only have the one of Faramir... does anyone have pix of the others, especially of those where there were tengwar writings in the background? smile

Discos
I mostly watched the drawings of the buildings

Fëanor
i'll take a look...btw...did PJ take a reference from the movie Hunchback of Notre Dame when they came up with the make up for the orc who led the assault on minas tirith?

Discos
hehe, crap I forget his name

Glurg, Gothmog....*keeps guessing*

Fëanor
i think it was gothmog...

Cynethryth
ot
Aye, Gothmog (Sindarin "Foe-hate", meaning "Morgoth's hate"wink, named after the lord of the Balrogs, Gothmog in the first age, the son of Melkor stick out tongue

/ot

Fëanor
after some time...i'm not so sure anymore if it is...you decide...

http://img52.photobucket.com/albums/v160/feanor1113/smeagol.jpg

Creechuur
The Hobbit w/ the pumpkin looks more like Deagol than Smeagol, but I haven't actually compared them.

Discos
nah I say it was someone else, the guy with the pumpkin I may of remember from Bilbo's party.....the one at the wooden ale thing smile

Kitoky
We have the original DVD but we're planning on getting the Extended in November too - I didn't know there were so many TV specials that they added on the special features disc. I think for Two Towers, they only had one. The National Geographics one was interesting, how they compared historic figures with the LotR characters (such as Aragorn, Grima, etc.).

A.D. Skinner
Aurora and I watched the special features last night, and I for one was dissaponted that certain scences and interviews were duplicated in the different featurettes.

We were also talking and hoping for some kind of gag or blooper reel !

I think it would be funny to watch Gandalf screw up his lines ! laughing out loud

Discos
he did screw up his line, the first feature "a directors vision"

Cynethryth
eek!

yey, found Denethor and Wiki big grin
The others are still missing sad




@Fea
interesting comparison yes

They really look nearly the same blink

Thorondor
miss exa they work not and im a member on that forum stick out tongue


nothing compared to this though

Cynethryth
I apologize wink

Discos
ah great stuff,

Discos - Into The West!

Cynethryth
Does anyone have Eowyn? Does Boromir appear in it?

Thorondor
yea kit has the drawing of boromir in her sig

Discos
yeah there was a boromir one

Discos - and it is in her avy stick out tongue

Fëanor
Eowyn...

Fëanor
boromir...

Discos
cheers man

Cynethryth
eek! eek! THANK YE! happy

Fëanor
all are welcome...any other requests?

nazgûl-lord
i finally have Return Of The King
I just watched itbig grin

Cynethryth
Would you happen to know if there are any Tengwar texts among the illustrations? I dimly remember one I think...

Discos
requests belong on the image request thread, try and get back onto topic sort of....

I very much like the picture on the discs, Frodo for the bonus disc and Aragorn for the movie disc

Creechuur
A.D., I said the same thing earlier in the thread. There was a lot of duplication on disc 2.

Mybe we're just spoiled because of all the goodness the EE's have given us.

Fëanor
will do captain...my captain, my king...hehe

Agent Elrond
I GOT IT. I GOT IT. I GOT IT!!!!!!

Discos

Agent Elrond
I was watching it today and noticed in the scene where Aragorn is being crown, he tuns to Elrond and there are these two brownish/black hair guys behind him. Any idea if these are Elrond's sons, cuz that would rock even if they didn't have a major role.

Thorondor
im doing that today big grin starting at 3

Agent Elrond
If I had all the DVD's, I would do that now. However, I seemed to have 'misplaced' my TTT DVD. Now I can't watch all 9+ hrs of LotR.
