Found the link to this article at TORn--I'd say this guy liked the film!
Hair and Ecurbh, should we ping the ringers to this one? I think I only have a very old version of the Green Dragon list...

HEAR HEAR!The best ensemble cast that I have ever seen...
Ian McKellan as Gandalf was incredible...
Orlando Bloom as Legolas made me believe in Elves...
John Rhys-Davies eats up the screen as the diminutive, yet powerful, Gimli the dwarf...
Billy Boyd and Dominic Monaghan add comic relief...
Viggo Mortensen...he's just the man!...
Sean Astin... Sam proves time and again what true friendship is about...
Elijah Wood is the heart and soul of this film. Without his performance, the film just wouldn't have worked... Yet, great effects, a great story, and amazing performances can all still be muddled if the person in charge drops the ball. That leads me to director Peter Jackson. One thing you discover when watching this film is that Jackson obviously has a deep rooted love for his source material. Great pains were taken to get this movie right; to maintain the heart of Tolkien's books, yet make them accessible to a mass audience, and to transfer the story to film...
Gotta keep tryin' once in a while Tuor... It's a sin that you are missing this....

Wow....that was fast. Howard Shore was only composing the music for the DVD scenes about a month ago.
How come he never mentions the extra parts at all?

You can buy this on EBay. I saw it there a couple of weeks ago, but refused to buy it. They even had a couple of screenshots of the main menu. It was for real but was obviously ill gotten, so I stayed away.

Wonder if someone could help me here...I'm interested in both hard data and anecdotes...How is the video/dvd selling? My own anecdote--when I dropped into Blockbuster to pick up my copy, I asked the clerk who said, "Nobody is leaving here without one today."
I'm hoping that Jackson is cleaning up on the video, and am wondering if that's the case.
