^lol

Girl, get with the program. Orlando was hot since the first LOTR..

About Frodo and Sam, you will understand why they are acting the way they do when you read the books. If I hadnt read the books I would've thought it was a bit homoerotic.

And I made it without getting up to go to the bathroom, there was a little while when I was like hmm, maybe I should go now before the war starts, my friend got up to go, she said she was dying the first 45 minutes because she had to go, I think she finally gave in and went after like 2 1/2 hours.
Hahaha, I love how you said you didn't like Liv Tyler's scenes -- basically any part of the movie with Arwen (Liv Tyler's character) in it is NOT from the book, or is so severely twisted that it might as well not be. I of course was pissed because the scenes weren't like Arwen's character in the book and that changed things, but it's nice to hear that someone who hasn't read the book thought those scenes were dumb, too.

Does anyone else think the hobbits are definitely the gays in this movie? They hold each other, kiss, jump on each other's beds, cry for each other.

Hey Orlando Bloom! Will you marry me????

Found this on the Internet concerning the extended ROTK:

- This one isn’t going to come as a surprise, but for the record: we’ll be seeing Gandalf and his Power Rangers confronting Saruman after the Helm’s Deep battle, followed by the multi-coloured one falling to his death.

- Merry will pledge his allegiance to Theoden in a scene similar to the Pippin/Denethor bit. Toss points out that shots from this scene have appeared in an early ROTK teaser, as well as a *very* early LOTR teaser from way back in the beginning.

- Following his acceptance of Anduril from Elrond, Aragorn uses the Palantir to reveal himself to Sauron. Sauron shows him a vision of Arwen’s sickness. This stuff was used instead during the dream sequence just before Elrond arrives at Dunharrow in the theatrical cut.

- From the horse’s mouth: ‘Remember the scene in which the Witch King is asked what he’s going to do with Gandalf, and he says I will break him? This pays off big time in a battle between the Witch King and Gandalf as Gandalf and Pippin ride to save Faramir from the pyre. At the end of the battle, the Witch King breaks Gandalf’s staff and then the Rohirrim turn up and the Witch King gets distracted. The beginning of this confrontation is one of the $$$ shots in the ROTK trailer: the Witch King’s fell beast landing on the ramparts in front of Gandalf and Pippin on Shadowfax.’

- ‘We see Gamling die on the Pelennor Fields theres a quick shot of Eomer bawling in the ROTK trailer.’

- ‘In the Houses of Healing, Aragorn heals Faramir, who then meets Eowyn and they fall in love. Aww.’

- ‘A disguised Frodo and Sam join a column of marching orcs on the way to Mt Doom. Their master is a ferocious orc captain with a whip. Remember the line heard over the sweeping shot of the orcs marching down through Mordor right after the Cirith Ungol sequence? That’s him, yelling Come on you slugs!.’

- ‘The Mouth of Sauron scene changes the emphasis of the entire final battle between men and orcs at the Black Gates. In the theatrical cut, Aragorn and Co. ride up to the gates, they open, and orcs come out to fight. In the extended version, they are greeted by the Mouth of Sauron (played by the Matrix’s Train Man, Bruce Spence), who has pointy teeth and a pointy helmet that covers his eyes (he doesn't need them, see? He's just a mouth). He rides out to show the heroes Frodos mithril vest, recently stolen by the orcs at Cirith Ungol, and to let them know that Frodo is dead and the ring is on its way to Sauron. Aragorn believes him, and the heroes despair. Going into battle at the Black Gates, the heroes have no hope at all it’s their last stand for sure, and Aragorn’s line for Frodo refers to his sacrifice, not to buying time.’

Ok... I just recently dedicated 10+ hours of my life to the LOTR series. I didn't read the books at all. I am really really confused on all the characters. Especially all the ones starting with S and the one's starting with A. I got the hobbits down... Gandolf, Gimli (??? the dwarf) and of course Legolas (Orlando Bloom *swoon*)... and then a few countless others.
I really need to watch this again don't I?

rainbowbrightCS 01-21-2004 10:07 AM

ok there is Aragon- the human king (Viggo Mortenson)

Arwen- the elf and daughter of Elrond (Liv Tyler)

Elrond- Lord of Rivendale (Hugo Weaving)

Eowyn - Human princess- niece of King Theoden (Miranda Otto)

Galadriel -Oldest of all the elves. she was the one who gave frodo that light of the star in the forest... (Cate Blanchette)

Denethor- the crazy steward that tries to kill his last son... (John Noble)

and the dark side is

Saruman- the evil white wizard trapped in the tower (Christopher Lee)

Sauron- the eye

Witch King- Lord of ringwraiths... the one that stabbed Frodo in The Fellowship and that Eowyn killes In return of the king

and last there is Wormtongue- the advisor to King Theoden that was kicked out and went to Saruman (Brad Dourif)


There are several other humans... they are all tall blonde men....
(Boromir, Eomer, and Faramir)


I hope this helps....

( yeah I am a loser with nothing to do)

chideltjen 01-21-2004 05:27 PM

ah much less confusing...
thanks!

I'm not a big Sony fan, but when it comes to inexpensive DVD players, they have their act together. I say this with 9 years of experience in Audio/Video retail.

PhiPsiRuss 12-13-2004 02:44 PM

I got an e-mail from Amazon.com today. It said that they shipped my extended edition of ROTK. :D

GreenKappa 12-14-2004 03:12 PM

I just got mine. Yeah!!!! Can't wait to watch it.

PhiPsiRuss 12-14-2004 05:23 PM

I got mine today, and the polystone statue is on a shelf. I probably won't be able to watch it until this weekend.

MysticCat 12-14-2004 05:42 PM

I imagine I'll be getting mine from the kids for Christmas. They got me the extended editions of FOTR and TTT last year and the year before.

chideltjen 12-16-2004 12:45 PM

My brother called me on Tuesday night saying it was on sale at Wal-mart or something. It's on my Christmas list and he said he would get it for me if no one else was.

This also means I can pick up TTT EE on sale too. :) (I just have the normal DVD.)

AOIIsilver 12-16-2004 08:00 PM

Hey, where can I find the cheapest boxed set of all three extended version movies?

When my brother was at Wal-mart, he said they had the ROTK for $22.99. Perhaps they would have the trilogy there too. :confused:

Its probably not the extended edition.

I would check Froogle at http://froogle.google.com/froogle?q=...ed+DVD+Edition and make sure that its a Region 1 set, and that its from a North American retailer.

Amazon has it for $77.98 @ http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS...437966-5918435

Also, this comes with a protective sleeve for all three extended editions. For people like me, who bought all three seperately, you can get this sleeve mailed to you for just $3 at http://lotrdvdbox.com/. I ordered mine today.

The new and extended scenes make much more sense and help complete the story lines.
