I saw the end of the RotK special on ABC - that was the worst "Coming up - an exclusive sneak peak scene from the movie" scene EVAR.

I'm planning to see the movie next Tuesday, along with the complete trilogy (our Trilogy Tuesday is one week later). It's great to see such positive comments about the movie.

He wasn't offered the LOTR, he offered the LOTR to the North American studios. He first went to Miramax, then finally New Line. Also, Universal cancelled the King Kong project because there were too many big movies that year (and a lack of faith in PJ, I assume). Once the Lord of the Rings saga became incredibly popular, they started discussing King Kong again.

I am also here (in the big metropolis of the world, of course Costa Rica) I'm going to watch the extended editions of the 3 movies in a row, plus I get a combo and as many hot dogs and coke my body can require for that 10 hour sesion (or more?) Anyway, I think I am going to cry in the last movie.

I'll kiss Miranda Otto, although I would probably just will stay looking at her, and looking at her, and looking at her (half an hour later I would realize she was in front of me for only 3 seconds).
And yeah, he kept the Bag End set.

So, what extended scenes do we want to see? Maybe Ghan-Buri-Ghan, Merry offering his service to Theoden, more Paths of the Dead and Aragorn's journey south, Faramirs suicide mission, Saruman at Isenguard and the scouring of the Shire.

They better have the confrontation with Saruman at Isengard in the extended version. An judging on where the palantir is, they will.
Anyway returned from the movie a little over an hour ago, and I'm stil high from watching it. Best damn movie of the year! I thought the Battle of Helms Deep (or The Hornburg is you're a Tolkien fanatic) was awesome, the Battle of Pelenor Fields easily toppled it. The charge of the Rohirrim was quite a sight.
I missed some scenes (most of those Faze listed) but I'm sure they're in the extended version.
Loved the party in the Golden Hall with Merry and Pippin dancing on the tables and singing.
Damn, I have to go see this movie again soon. A solid 12 stars out of 10.

NO! It's not true!! *puts fingers in ears and shouts "LALALALALALAA!!"* On Jonathan Woss, Ian McKellan said Chistopher Lee will be in the Extended Edition and it will come close to or be over 5 hours long. Plenty of time for good scenes.

Originally posted by Pitt Clemens: I don't think I'm reading too much into LOTR when I say that there is some heavy white-supremicy being handed down from the movies. Also Gay Hobbits. But Tell you what, I'll bottle that acid for a later date. Saw the move, it was ok. These points come up again and again, so I'll try to address them: 1). The "Lord of the Rings" was in part intended by Tolkien to be the mythology of Britain, since Britain didn't really have a mythology of its own, like the Greeks or Romans. Tolkien based his stories on pre-existing Norse mythology and -- fancy that! -- the Norse are white. Does it come as any surprise then that in Norse mythology, the Norse are the good guys? That's not what I'd called "white supremacy". Besides, time and again the books stress that the Men in the employ of Sauron were tricked and seduced by him, not evil by nature. 2). I doubt that Tolkien intended for there to be any homosexual overtones to the Frodo/Sam relationship, seeing as how he was a devout Roman Catholic. The themes he was trying to emphasize between them were brotherhood, and more importantly, friendship -- nothing more.
