Hear Hear! The footage added to ROTK was most necessary.

Amen. They should've included even more additional footage.

Me · Post by Me » Thu Aug 11, 2005 7:12 pm

Hear hear!

PJ said (I'm not sure if it was jokingly or not) that while he didn't want to put any more footage into the movie itself, he would like, for the 25th anniversary to put more of the the unreleased footage out, and provide commentary as to why it was not included in the film. Of course if he does this, one could easily edit it in to the movie.

Haha, I remember that comment. Hopefully, it's not a joke. I would be terribly devasted otherwise.

I have seen the extended versions and I own the last two. I would like to get Fellowship of the Ring when I have the money. I read the books before I saw the movies. I was disappointed when I saw how much of the story the movies had left out. The extended versions helped with that a little bit. I would still like to see more in the movies though!

Sorry... seeing as how I don't like the movies, I haven't been to this topic in a while.

I only read the first book, but I fell asleep out of boredom (with some tiredness mixed in) so many times, I didn't want to read the others. I watched the first movie, and I fell asleep. The characters and plotline(s) just don't draw me. They can't keep my attention.

I also don't like fantasy much at all. Narnia is about the only true fantasy I can handle. The characters have to be extremely appealing to me for me to be able to hang on to a fantasy book long enough to finish it.

Beyond all that, anything that is humongously popular is something I am very apt to dislike for a few reasons. 1. I like being un-stereotypical in every way posible 2. I get tired of hearing about them 3. I like to stand out from the crowd 4. I tend to dislike anything that wasn't my idea, due to my personality strengths (I tend to want to control everything and always be in charge; but those are my tendancies. I don't give in to them frequently, because on top of everything else...) 5. I'm extremely stubborn.

But I gave LOTR a chance. And it lost it's chance. I don't have anything against it, except for the fact that I'm sick of hearing about it.

I have seen all three of them.

I've seen all three.
The "Art Of..." books are excellent if you want to do concept art--just for process ideas, how the pro-types do it.

I just got two of them out of the library. They're really interesting.

I strongly disagree. LOTR is not boring. I never fell asleep, and I never get sick of hearing about it. I can't believe that you don't like it.

It doesn't interest me. What's not to believe about that?

Yay for extended editions! While I don't own any myself, I have a lot of friends who do. Isn't it fun to sit down and watch 23 whole minutes of deleted scenes??? Something new and fresh and exciting? And then you can watch the cast and crew talk about the making of the movie for a full 9 hours of appendixes! Yes! Haha! Yes!

Sorry...these sort of things give me a sort of sarcastic thrill. Maybe it's just Frank. Haha.

LOTR is great and superb, but it's not for everyone! I understand that. I don't understand why people don't like it, but I understand that they don't. If you understand what I mean?

Oh, if only they had included some more romance between Faramir and Eowyn!

Actually, as a LOTR junkie, and an amateur film maker, I find it quite exciting.

Finally some real news. It seems that after a few years of legal issues, MGM and Newline have reached an agreement about....THE HOBBIT!
http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=16424

Of course, what with all the projects that Jackson already has slated, it will probably be 2010 (at the very earliest) that the movie will be coming to theaters.
