This link was at TORN. It's a review of the EE and is said to be very spoilery. (I haven't read it - I'm of two minds as to how spoiled I want to be for it, you know?)
Jayne: There's times I think you don't take me seriously. I think that ought to change. Mal: Do you think it's likely to?

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".
A discussion of Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King. If you're a pervy hobbit fancier, this is the place for you.

Compassionately intolerant
The English translation of the TORN article is a bit dodgy, making for rough reading.
The author's contention is that a longer movie is not a better movie...which I can't dispute. It's true that in most cases deleted scenes are blessings and I love the directors who have the courage to say, "That was cut because, well...it was crap."
But the author counters his own argument by describing the new EE scenes in a way that makes me want to see them even more!
And this is PJ we are talking about, working on a magical project. I can't imagine anything in the hundreds of hours of exposed film they ran through being truly awful.
I didn't think my anticipation could BE higher. I was wrong.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
After reading the article, I too am more excited to see the extended version. With this project, it's not all about getting to the action faster. By adding in or extending scenes it may slow it down a bit, but, to me, it will be a more complete version and true to the original vision.

NYC LotR-istas!!!!
Hello, since I saw the ROTK EE last night, I though I'd throw my two cents in. First, for all those in NYC, you can purchase the ROTK EE DVD at a video store on the corner of 40th St. and 8th Ave. (across from the Port Authority south building). Take the stairs down leading to the subway and the store is right there (Warning! Lots of adult titles as well). Price is $39.99.
This from Torn.

I was reading Cleolinda's recap of Lost, and noticed that she's a LotR fan ("Merry + Eowyn 4evah!"), so I decided to look through her archives to see her review of RotK. It was nothing special, but her repost of The Two Tickets is to die for.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
I believe she is also a Buffy fan, as her latest LOST recap included "FIRE BAAAAD! ETHAN WORRRRSE!"
I tell ya, she is one of us.

Since I've commented a few times in her livejournal, I've been tempted to extend an invitation. But I fear the possibility of the throngs of her livejournal readers that don't quite fit the community also following the link.

Matt, does her profile have her email address?
