Title: LORD OF THE RINGS - THE RETURN OF THE KING

Bought it today - didnt que up at midnight last night for it as I know some people did, it was bad enough doing that when the last HARRY POTTER book came out.
Not waiting for the special edition - didnt for the other two and anyway gives me something to watch over the bank holiday.

I'm resisting temptation again, it's the SE for me in November :)

I'm a sucker - I buy both editions :)
Crichton Kicks - May 25, 2004 06:29 PM (GMT)
Luckily for me I managed to wait for the first Extended Edition. With the second one it was slightly different, I got a copy of the Oscar Presentation DVD that was knocking around just after it had opened.
This has really been the first one where I've been tempted. Could always sell it on eBay when the EE comes out.

I dread to think how long the EE of ROTK will be - the theatrical cut is already 3 hours 12 minutes.
Phillip Culley - May 25, 2004 06:55 PM (GMT)
4 hours 15 minutes, IIRC :o
Not that it affects me of course - I must be one of the few people who got bored halfway thorough Fellowship :)
Crichton Kicks - May 25, 2004 07:18 PM (GMT)
Not hard to see why Phillip truth be told, that opening hour in particular is quite a drag at times :)
You should give them another go though, the end of TTT is superb, as is much of ROTK.
Phillip Culley - May 25, 2004 07:21 PM (GMT)
Well, I'm sure my sister will acquire them soon anough, so I'll pinch them at some stage :)
And with that I'm going to wander off and do a few more hours of revision :)
willowroolz - May 25, 2004 07:40 PM (GMT)
Mine turned up today. Needless to say I'll get the SE too :rolleyes:
Persephone - May 25, 2004 09:20 PM (GMT)
I can't wait for the SE, I'm buying it at the end of the month :D

Oh ye of little patience :P
I've just ordered Tom Hanks/HBO's FROM THE EARTH TO THE MOON, so I've got no choice this month :)

Ooh, have you seen it before? It was one of the first dvd sets I ever bought and is still one of my favourites. Just a fantastic, fantastic series. :thumbsup:
Persephone - May 25, 2004 09:29 PM (GMT)
Some of us didn't get to see it at the cinema :(
willowroolz - May 25, 2004 09:31 PM (GMT)
Oh shame! I saw it twice, but the second time we had a bunch of kids sitting behind us yakking all the way through it. Gits!
It's quiet here tonight. I thought everyone would be in the chat room!
Crichton Kicks - May 25, 2004 09:35 PM (GMT)
Hmmm, apparently the FTETTM boxset is shipped from the States, meaning the blessed ol' Import Duties come into play. Think I might have to rethink that one.
Buffy Season 1 now's looking tempting at £17.99 :)

Not really my thing I'm afraid. Don't be offended if I'm not there much ;)
willowroolz - May 25, 2004 09:38 PM (GMT)
I remember. I paid the best part of $100 for it. And then had it couriered over. And then had to pay the import duties. :rolleyes:
Still, that was about 5 years ago now. Buying dvds was like a drug at the time. I'd never do anything as rash or impulsive these days :unsure:

:lol: I won't be! I agree with you. I've been in the chat room a couple of times and spoke briefly to Jae and Skibore, but there's been no-one else there the other times I've logged on. I actually thought Eric meant something like a general chat thread in the lounge. Shows how much I know :rolleyes:

It's too noisy, I have to switch ICQ off, cos the bing bong makes me want to throw a plate at it.
Sorry Eric :(

Thank you Persephone. And I think you should have a Willow avatar. You know, just to keep me happy :P
And season 2 was very good, Val, best season so far.

Guess I won't be getting Stargate then. Not until June 9th, anyway :lol:

Does it move away from the ol' Kryptonite bad guy of the week syndrome ??

Very much so - in fact season 1 did after the first eight or nine episodes. Try watching Rogue from season 1. That was when the stories started to branch out.
Crichton Kicks - May 25, 2004 10:02 PM (GMT)
Presumably I'll be fitting this in around the Farscape VS1 then ?? ;)
willowroolz - May 25, 2004 10:06 PM (GMT)
Just one episode - start out small... ;)
Crichton Kicks - May 25, 2004 10:13 PM (GMT)
Ok :)
I'll try and catch ROGUE tomorrow then. Where abouts in the first season is it ??
willowroolz - May 25, 2004 10:18 PM (GMT)
It's episode 9, on disc 3 :)

Gimme a brief synopsis on that one, can't remember if I've made it that far or not...
willowroolz - May 25, 2004 10:29 PM (GMT)
It's the one where Clark stops a runaway bus and gets away thinking no-one has seen him. But there's a corrupt cop who witnessed everything... (imagine dramatic blast of music)
Crichton Kicks - May 25, 2004 10:30 PM (GMT)
I think I've seen that one, doesn't the cop then try to blackmail Jonathan ??
willowroolz - May 25, 2004 10:31 PM (GMT)
Yes. Oh well, I tried :lol:
Crichton Kicks - May 25, 2004 10:43 PM (GMT)
I'll start again then, with that episode :)
It'll give me something to do while we're waiting to start Farscape :lol:

Oh don't get him started ;)
