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.)
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

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.
