Lord Of The Rings : The Third Release
This is a little bit old but for those who don't know, Lord of the Rings is to be released for the third time. This boxset you see to your right was the last release with each film having four discs, which means twelve discs in total.
Now you'd think that would be sufficient wouldn't you? There can't be anything left to see surely. Well, as a great man once said 'Don't call me Shirley'. Now I only bought the fillums the first time round so im not that irked about this but I bet the hardcore fans are annoyed that their ultimate editions aren't all that ultimate.
Maybe im wrong, maybe the fans will be chuffed to bits at the chance to see new material and I must admit that the new box art does look pretty good but I can't help but get the feeling that we're being taken for a ride (over middle Earth).
I once met Elijah Wood, as I've said before, small bloke he is, those scenes where he looks tiny next to Gandalf, there was no special effects needed.

This stuff pisses me off. I never buy anything on DVD now until I'm sure it's unlikely to be bettered. Which is why I waited like a year for the 3-disc Panic Room, and why I still haven't bought Kill Bill. At least when Sin City came out, Rodriguez was very vocal about the fact that a better version was around the corner. So I waited for that, too.

Fully with you there asterisk.
But the cheapskate side of me likes these rereleases for dvds because the once ultimate edition ends up going in the bargain bin for 4 quid, which i'll happily scoop out.

I couldnt give a monkeys. I never watch the extra bits. I rent 'em from amazon and then copy them (if they're any good).

They have also released a film called 'Lord of the Ring' - available at all 'Private' shops...
...so my mate told me.
