Frodo: Please, what does it always mean, this... this "Aragorn"? Elrond: That's his name. Aragorn, son of Arathorn. Aragorn: I like "Strider." Elrond: We named the *dog* "Strider".

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Is the EE the one with the extra gift things (like bookends or whatever), or is that called something else? I seem to remember getting tricked by this before...

EE = extra scenes
Special Edition = gifties

The Platinum edition goes on sale at the same time as the EE.

Have they announced what the collectible will be (for an extra $30, of course)? I'd love it (and buy it) if it ends up being a detailed statue of Minas Tirith, in faux white marble.

Yes, it is Minas Tirith and you can then spend extra $$$ and send away for Barad-Dur (I think. . . or was it Minas Morgul?)

Well, details can be found over at found over at TORN.

Also, pictures.

move out and draw fire

Minas Tirith opens up and you can store stuff inside? Huh. For some reason that wasn't the first use that sprang to my mind. (The first involved a Denethor action figure, some lighter fluid, and a match).

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

How glad am I that tomorrow is payday and I will have some money to spend on ROTK?

Very glad.

Thanks for putting my mind at ease over buying the Platinum Edition! I couldn't find anything in the description on Amazon to confirm the Minas Tirithy goodness.

OK, now that's cool. And it has storage space, too! I might as well give into my geeky side and buy it--I'll put it next to my trilogy picture frame.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Minas Tirith opens up and you can store stuff inside?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
