LOTR Extended Edition Blu-Ray Preorder

[Stampe]

Have you even read the books? You can't get the depth that these books have in just one book. I realize some peoples attention spans are nill but some of you are just .

My guess is your age is 20 or so. Jesus we're in trouble with these kids.

Omfg ....you took my post literally And I did my best to overdo it as must as possible but some people you just can't reach. Do you have any idea what "irony" and "sarcasm" mean Even without the use of smilies?

But since you ask: I've read the books (all 3 of them) 6 times, first time 20 years ago.

 

[The Josh]

I don't troll. It's my opinion.

Well, then your opinion sucks and you probably aren't meant to be a LOTR fan. You just don't get it. I guess its not slow enough for you.

You realize that tends to not come across well and your post comes across as if you meant it.

Don't blame me for you taking every little word without smilies literally. But you diehard hardcore fanboys are impossible to reach. One inch of cristisim and all hell breaks loose.

And I just realised how old I am, it's not 20 years since I first read the books, it's 30 years. Most of you who didn't know anything about Tolkien untill the movies came out wasn't even born when I first read the books.

 

[El Skutto]

Do you have any idea what "irony" and "sarcasm" mean Even without the use of smilies?

It's pretty hard to detect sarcasm when we can't hear your voice. It's all about tone and inflection, neither of which can be detected through text.

And you must've learned the definition of "irony" from Alanis Morrisette.

Just use smilies in the future to avoid any similar misunderstandings.

You criticize Josh for being a die-hard fan boy and then launch into a diatribe about how much more of a fan you are because you read the books before he was born?

I'm not even gonna bother to make a point with a newb troll.

Oh by the way I'll be 30 this year so you started reading about when I was born. Ignore time

I would say most of us posting in this thread read the books long before the movies came out. It's been around 25 years for me since I read them the first time.

And smilies are your friend when attempting humor or sarcasm.

I think this has all just been a misunderstanding Josh.

Just shake hands with Stampe and let's all be friends.

What do you say guys, can we put this behind us?

And we can all unite as LOTR fans

[The Josh]

I'm all about just chillin and have a good time Bill.

 

[Fritz]

I don't troll. It's my opinion.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion, even if it's a bad one.

Just my opinion. I just wish Peter Jackson would go back to what he is great at. Crazy B movie ____.

I think the amount of awards and accolades Lord of the Rings received shows that he was pretty great at not only crazy B movies.

Extended Lord of the Rings Blu-ray Officially Announced
Posted March 21, 2011 10:03 AM by Juan Calonge

Confirming earlier reports (see Blu-ray.com, January 14, March 7 and March 16), Warner Home Video has officially announced the Blu-ray release of the extended version of The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy for June 28. This three-movie collection will be presented in a 15-disc set (6 BDs, 9 DVDs), packaged in multi-disc elite packaging inside a premium rigid slipcase, with an SRP of $119.98. Each movie will be split across two discs. Audio will be 6.1 DTS-HD Master Audio. The Fellowship of the Ring has been remastered from the original 2k digital files.

This latest tidbit will be welcome news, as the first installment of the trilogy had been controversial among reviewers and enthusiasts alike when it was released last year as part of the theatrical editions because of its inferior picture quality, allegedly related to the use of an older master.

I'm happy to hear that they have remastered Fellowship.

 

[Barbarian]

Its all good barb this is good news my friend. old or now.

I'm guessing the fact that they couldn't fit them on one disc means that they are of an extremely righteous quality.
