Five Hour ROTK: EE?

[A Black Falcon]

The relevant question is, when they release all three together will it just be the three EEs or will they add stuff... if it's just the three EEs then it'd be really dumb to wait because getting the films years earlier is worth a few bucks. And I expect that that's what it'll be.

Oh, I see no point in getting the theatrical versions. The EEs come out within six months or so and are so much better that it's just a waste of money...

Um, you did read my last sentence right? The one where I summerize that whole post you made explaining that I understand why they went that way?

So why complain? I mean... when you know why it is that way and when you know that that is the only way they could have done it (remember, hardcore LOTR fans are NOT the target audience for the theatrical film! Normal people get bored...), why complain? Sure it'd be nice to see more story, but for a theater movie this is about as good as you could possibly hope for.

And as for the thing with Gollum driving off Sam, they added it into the series for the film so why would they remove it for the DVD? I agree that it makes Gollum more decidedly evil than in the books, but they clearly added it for a reason... you can say that you'd rather it wasn't there, but the way you state it it... I don't know, but I just think that if they put it in they clearly wanted it there.


And as for the thing about the SFX house... I agree. It would be incredibly dumb, but just like a Hollywood studio, to dump the film on some substandard (or below WETA quality) house just to finish it for cheaper. Ridiculous, when you consider the absurd amounts of money this film has made... but it'd be just like Hollywood...
