I just saw the Fellowship on Saturday night (we have the CD). It was great! Been a long time since I read the trilogy, but the movie was just as enjoyable (imho).

When is the limited-edition picture book about the "Making of the Documentary about the Creation of the Extended DVD" coming out?

I've watched my regular DVD of Fellowship of the Ring so many times that I'm ready for a "new" DVD, hehe. I can't wait to buy the Special Edition DVD set! And then, in December, The Two Towers!!!!

Samwise Forever!

I read the trilogy when I was a teenager, I loved it. I saw the movie on DVD, thought it was great. But when I tried rereading the trilogy again after 30+ years, I didn't find it quite as compelling as when I read it the first time. In fact, I found myself skipping over a bunch of stuff that I thought was downright boring. I started reading 3 weeks ago and only got as far as the "Barrow Downs." Why do you suppose that is?

My teenage son read the trilogy in one weekend, then had complaints against me because I had read it years ago and never bothered to tell him how great (I used to think) it was.

I've heard that Howard Shore has composed a symphonic score based on the music in Fellowships and Two Towers, and that he conducted it once in Los Angeles.

Does anyone have further information on this? If so, please tell us.

I wish the extended edition would come out in theaters. I'm not about to go buy another set of DVDs. Maybe Blockbuster will have it for rental...

Most importantly for a poor College Student like myself, how much will be forced to pay for this. I want it, but I might have to exert fiscal commonsense. Has the price been listed yet.

Thank you for the info. :)

Now this is what I call an extended DVD version! Guess I'm taking my original LOTR DVD and rewrapping it as a Christmas present for somebody else. I'm buying and keeping this one.

[Samwise]

OK. I'm ready to fork over some more money.

I was astounded to realize that most of Hollywood DVDs are not DTS compatable. This is true of the initial LOTR DVD release. I have many DTS DVDs and the difference in sound quality is amaizing over Dolby 5.1 Surround sound. What is even better are the Superbit DVD which provide a higher picture quality. This weekend I watched "Panic Room" on Superbit DTS and the picture and sound quality was awesome (movie wasn't bad either)! If this disk set of LOTR provide that quality then this should be amazing! But I will admit to being s sucker on this this will be the 3rd disk set of LOTR I will have purchased! I found that DTS DVDs are available overseas over the internet. It took 3 weeks to get it but it was worth it. As I just recently invested in home theater I'm just getting into this game!

HA! I just realized what's happening here. I am in the midst of a group of adults engaged in a group escape from reality. I'm wasting my time here. It's obvious that you're all about fantasy on this thread. You can return to your heated discussions of Hobbit affairs- you're all boring the hell out of me! LOL!!

Good deal. I will be buying the Extended Version DVD even though I already have LOTR:FOTR on VHS.
