Lord of the Rings is *still* outstanding.

[Ono]

Well, I had to take the day off work today for personal reasons , and decided to sit down with a cup of tea and watch my Region 1 Lord of the Rings DVD. Since it's daytime and the neighbours are at work I pumped up the volume on my Dolby Digital Amp and turned the subwoofer up.

Just finished, and, despite watching the film at the cinema, this film still astounds me. Everything about it is just so right and the whole 3 hours kept me gripped. Can't wait for the 5 disc Extended Version which I also have on pre-order.

Surely one of the best films ever made?


I suggest you pick up a copy if you haven't already done so.

 

[mank!]

Didn't think it was out until tomorrow. I'm not bothering to buy it yet, got the 5 disc version on pre-order from amazon. Is it out to rent?

 

[Testin da Cable]

yes, iirc the regular dvd is rentable

 

[mank!]

Good show, eh what!

Shall toddle off to Blockbusters soon.

*Ono is crazy*

Whats the point in buying the film twice??



PS: Get back to work you lazy b*strd!

 

[Embattle]

May have to watch the *ahem* copy I've got

I got mine (Region 1) delivered early last week from www.dvdsoon.com .

Cost me a touch over £12 delivered for the 2 disc version. DO NOT FFS GO BUY IT FROM THE HIGH STREET. THEY WILL BE CHARGING £20 - £25 !!

The 5 disc Collector's (With the 2 Argonath Bookends) will cost me £33 delivered.

Worth every penny cos the extras on the 5 disc are different to the 2 disc version. It will also be the 30 mins extra extended version and have DTS sound for those with the right systems.

Got mine thorugh play.com. Just the standard R2 two-disk set for me because I like the film and am not an utter utter nerd like you all are. Bookends, ffs? According to the webbeh its been posted already so should maybe arrive today or tomorrow.

Marvellous.

 

[Testin da Cable]

lovely I might even buy it too.

 

[Sir Frizz]

Yeah well, i'm going to wait a couple of years and get the trilogy box set. Probably 9 hours of TV in it...

Not the same mate.

Quality films deserve quality picture and sound.


I do download a lot of films from Kazaa but generally I will also buy them on DVD when they are out. - I even bought Resident Evil FFS!! (although that is being sold this week )

ouch, my p13 !

Just recieved my DVD copy of it....forgot I had preordered it

 

[old.Kez]

The film was pretty goddamn boring, even by Lord Of The Rings standards. The book is an abomination of literature; how it achieved its high status (aside from inventing common-place species) is beyond me. I only hope that The Two Towers is better than the book.

Wha..
Ho..

*choke*


Excuse me?!?!

Savage!!

Lord Of The Rings is superb literature! Tolkein pulls you right into the story! You can even feel how tired and hungry the Hobbits get on their long journey!

*mumble*

 

[Testin da Cable]

kez may be a lot of things, but he's not a savage. a cultural dyslexic perhaps? I used to think that LotR owned all, however I've read it too may times causing me to become slightly jaded re all things tolkien

It's all about different opinions.
