In Reply to: Lord of the Rings, after due contemplation.... posted by late on February 19, 2002 at 13:07:25:
... when the SE Lord of the Rings DVD comes out in November. There will be 30 or more minutes of fellowship footage reinserted that was edited out for time considerations in order to make the film an acceptable length for bottom-line conscious theater owners and producers. I'm sure that it will not placate your concerns entirely, but I think you ask the impossible of a film trying to create the atmosphere of such an epic story. [see linked URL]BTW, I don't think there can ever be a fair appraisal of LoTR when comparing the classic books and the soon-to-be-classic cinema versions of the epic because they each have qualities that the other can not share. That said, I think Peter Jackson has achieved the best meld of the two genres which is an amazing accomplishment unto itself. Just remember, so much could've been badly done or ruined, when instead nearly everything was done correctly.

Am just wondering how many different versions we're going to be hit with. It's something I've come to hate - - buy the DVD, then out come the special editions, one after another. I've got two of the Star Wars "ultimate" laser disk collections. It really pisses me off to buy a disk, then see editions come out I'd have preferred getting. It would be nice if they were released simultaneously.
