Man, when The Return of the King Extended Edition comes out in November, I am sooo getting the whole extended trilogy and selling off my two theatrical editions. :) Chris Merydith tells me not to, but I drinks it. I mean, I don't think there's any advantage to having the theatrical disks when you have the extended disks. :)
So I wonder to what depth my readers know about Tolkein's The Lord of the Rings? Have you watched the movies? The Extended Editions (before they got hacked to bits into Theatrical Editions)? Have you read the books? Have you read The Hobbit? The Silmarillion? Does it mean anything to you if I say things like "Luthien Tinuviel" or "Numenor"? Does anyone remember when Galadriel took up the oath of Feanor and took part in the Kinslaying, before the Sun and the Moon had a place in the sky, and before the birth of Man?
I just wonder about these sorts of things. I have no faith in my fellowman so I'm forced to believe that most people just think to themselves "Yaaay, Frodo is short!" and wait for Spiderman 3 to come out.
Posted by jesse at September 13, 2004 12:02 PMThe advantage is that some people actually PREFER the theatrical version.
Why don't they sell a disk that has both?
Posted by: DeAnn at September 13, 2004 05:44 PMNo, no and no on the reading them. I would like to, but actually had no interest until I saw the movies.
Posted by: DeAnn at September 13, 2004 05:45 PMNo, no they don't, there are no such people. :) Except perhaps people who don't like lord of the rings and just sadisticly like to see it butchered and mangled, heh. ;)
And of course people who can't pay attention for long enough. Not to be mean, it takes effort for me to pay attention through a 3.5+ hour movie too. Ah well. :]
