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".

I know!

And I can't wait to see it. I mean, just from the clip, Pippin saying "Frodo" -- heartbreaking.

Extended Trilogy is also coming out on December 14th.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

I get the LOTR fan mag and a few extra scenes are:

1- extended scene in the paths of the dead
2- they show how Aragorn, Gimli, and Legolas commandeer the Corsair ships
3- not sure on this one - I think they might show when Merry swears fealty to Theoden
4- Merry and Eowyn when they make camp on the trip to Minas Tirith
5- extended interaction between Faramir and Denethor

Re: #3

Well, considering that photographs of that very seen have been available on the internet since the first movie came out, they damn well better include that scene.

I check the mag again last night. They are also including

1- Aragorn and the Witch-king fighting in front of the gates of Mordor
2- The mouth of Sauron showing Aragorn and co. Frodo's mithril shirt
3- Aragorn healing Eowyn in the houses of healing.

I can't wait til Christmas!

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

The first broadcast showing of FotR is coming up (11/7, if memory serves), and the ads keep faking me out for the EE DVD release, not least of all because I want them a month earlier. But at least one of them doesn't use the lovely music, and has put some crap on instead. Why would they do that? It was good enough for the trailers, so we know it can be cut down powerfully.

Odd to not capitalise on that mindshare.

But #1 didn't happen!

Yes -- #1 didn't happen. What I have heard is that what we get is the big confrontation between Gandalf and the Witch-King on the walls of Minas Tirith.

I was looking at TORN's high rez pictures from the EE and came up with these extended or new scenes:
1. Return to Edoras - extended
2. Eowyn's Dream - new
3. Minas Tirith - extended
4. The Decline of Gondor - new
5. The Corsairs of Umbar - new
6. Merry's Simple Courage - new

And this was just in the three pictures of the scene selection pages that they had pictures of.

Oh, yes, the scene in all the previews that they pulled. I'm looking forward to that.
