Okay! Now, the the Official LOTR Movie Website says that RotKEE can be pre-ordered starting October 1st with the release date set for December 14th.
(I found the announcement over at TORN.)
Zoe: Captain will come up with a plan. Kaylee: That's good. Right? Zoe: Possibly you're not recalling some of his previous plans.

LotR - The Return of the King: "We named the *dog* 'Strider'".
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".

Yaaaaayyyyyy!
Damn, it's gonna be hard to wait until Dec. 25, though. But it's so close to Christmas that I can't really justify buying it for myself. Gah. I hope at least one of my friends will be less frugal than I am...

It's my Xmas present to myself!
It's only going to be hard for me to have the money -- given that it's on-sale the DAY BEFORE my payday.

TORN has the high rez images released by New Line up on their site.

Some of those new scenes make me wonder--"Eowyn's Dream?" "Merry's Simple Courage?" The first is probably that still we've seen of her lying on the couch/bed at Edoras with Aragorn sitting next to her. The second--who knows? I do hope that last shot is of Sam looking up at the only star he can see in Mordor; I've always loved that line in the book.

There's an article with excerpts from Sean Astin's new book here--the first mention I've seen of what exactly was paid to the actors.
Astin only got $250,000 for all three films? Damn--Jackson does know how to keep the budget low, doesn't he? To compare, I remember reading in his Rolling Stone interview that Astin got $300,000 for his role in 50 First Dates.

And yet -- $250K for what, two years' work? That might be low by actor's standards, but it sounds pretty good to me. Plus the fact that if the movie was a success, it would do wonders for their careers. Which pretty much is what happened.

Hey, has anyone else here tried to order the gift set of the RotKEE on Amazon? I couldn't find it listed at all.

I found it!
I could only find it by looking at the place on the page where it said people who buy what you bought also bought. . .

I'm thinking about trying DeepDiscountDVD this time, since Beverly's used them in the past and she said they almost always deliver early. I am going to be a geek this time and order the gift set, since it has both the extra disc on the symphony and that cool-looking Minas Tirith (I'm not ordering Minas Morgul).
I still want Aragorn's knife.
