Please do not call me a nerd, but I am really excited about the Two Towers coming out on DVD tonight! I am a fan of the Tolkein books, and love his other literature as well. I know that it isn't the coolest thing to talk about at the house, but I was hoping their were some other fans out there.

I totally forgot that was coming out today. I better go and get tonight. I've been looking forward to this since the movie was out in theatres.

I don't think you're a nerd, and if you are I guess I am one too.

I haven't read the books yet. I just started reading The Hobbit. But I absolutely love the movies, and I can't wait till Return of The King.

I think it comes out omorrow guys... Unless you mean midnight? I guess there are places to buy it at midnight if they stay open. I am reading the books too. Read the Hobbit, reading the first volume (Fellowship...) right now. I am excited.

Oh you're right, it is tomorrow. Some places might have it for sale at midnight, but I haven't heard about any.

Thanks for reminding me! I'm going to get it, I love Gollum!

I reserved and paid for a copy for my husband's birthday which was in JUNE. I expect he'll be at the store first thing tomorrow to pick it up.

Is it ok to admit that I -- and some friends -- stood in line until midnight to buy The Two Towers?

I had the DVD pre-ordered, it is currently in the mail on the way to my house, it will most likely get here today, YET I still went out and bought it last night at midnight. Waste of money???? NO, b/c I will give the other as a gift to a cousn or something @ X-Mas. I will also buy the Extended Edition when it comes out in November. Did you all see the trailer for ROTK? The Behind-the-Scenes footage was great. It is so funny to see Pippen, Merry, Frodo, Sam and the rest out of character.

(Giggling @ browncat)

I love the books and movies so much that I can understand it!

Re: RotK. I didn't watch the previews for RotK yet. I am not sure I want to -- I think I want to be surprised (this may all change when my resolve wears down and my curiosity gets the best of me. My resolve is already breaking down...)

I did see the previews for the extended release. I was happy to see that they were putting in Faramir's encounter with Boromir in the boat. And the Ent draughts! And Sam and Frodo's scaling of the sheer cliffs on Emyn Muil! The extended release is going to be AWESOME!

TechAPhi · #11 08-26-2003, 02:11 PM

Also on the subject of RotK. I am desperately awaiting the turret scene -- I am so afraid they are going to mess it up! I think it is one of the most beautiful scenes ever written.

Just got the DVD ready to go home pop it in and get me some popcorn to go with that flick. Excited if you can't tell.

Lady Pi Phi · #13 08-26-2003, 06:22 PM

I bought the DVD this afternoon and I just finished watching it. Great movie. I am so excited for Return of The King.

I bought mine first thing yesterday...OMG so great..and yes browncat it was funny to see them all as their normal selves. Obviously, watched the movie and loved it of course. BUT the ROTK preview and the EE preview gave me goosebumps....and seeing them made me realize that I must a) by the EE and b) go to the theaters for the special release of the EEs and watch them on the big screen for the first time!

White_Chocolate · #15 08-27-2003, 12:07 PM

personally, this trilogy is up there with being one of the greatest movies ever

i loved the ents scene. . .they were so cute.. .and when they talked aobut going to Isengarde to wreak havoc and not caring if they died, i started crying AGAIN. . .

boy started making fun of me and saying 'chill, it's just some trees' (yes, we're talking again)
to me, it's so much more than that especially when i drive past forests that they cut down to make room for housing developments. . .
i get really sensitive and want to chain myself to a tree
