Title: Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers - out at midnight!
Post by: Living-In-Clip on August 25, 2003, 03:45:47 PM

Alright - Peter Jackson\'s epic sequel \'Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers\' comes out on the the 26th or midnight for most people..Who is goin\' to pick it up?  I\'m debating if I want to go ahead and  go to Wal-mart at midnight and get the 2-DISC version or wait for the 4-disc Extended Edition, that comes out 11/18/03..Or get both of \'em? Choices, choices...Argh!

What\'s everyone else planning to do?

Extended edition.  It\'s just a movie.  GO rent it, then buy it in november.  It needs to match the disc I already have so I\'m not mixing and matching.  Bring on the big whopper in Nov.

Well, how many times do you plan on watching the movie before 11/18?

You could rent the thing 3 times and still save money.

But I forgot, you are too cool to be cought in a video store.  Whatever that\'s all about.

What is that all about? When have I said that? I haven\'t.

Personally, I plan on watchin\' it quite abit. I love \'Fellowship of the Ring\' and I like \'The Two Towers\' even more so - I imagine it\'ll get quite a few viewings..

I don\'t rent. When I had VHS , I would rent, but since I got a DVD player (years ago) I have yet to rent a single disc. I don\'t like dealing with scratched discs and all that other good stuff. Sure, as I look around at about 500 + DVD\'s, I could of saved some money on the 400 or so that I have only watched once - but oh well. It\'s not like DVD\'s are all that expensive...

Im gonna do the smart thing:

Wait until they pump as much money out of this thing the "extended version", the "extended directers cut" version, and the "extended directers cut music video version" ... etc :rolleyes:

and when they get the regular LOTR 1,2,3 on DVD buy it that way. Much better, amazing how much money they are making off this.

It is a pain in the ass dealing with scratched up rental DVDs with dried snot on the case and all.  The real truth is I\'m too cool to go into a video store.

I have the extended edition on preorder, and I can wait for it.

What I\'m REALLY looking forward to is another little gem I have on preorder.  To be released 9/8/03....

WHERE EAGLES DARE

Believe it people.  :D

I\'ve had the GOOD QUALITY dvd a month after the movie came out. :laughing:

All those complaining about there being "extended editions" - look on the bright side - you at least know ahead of time.

And seven grand is a light number on my collection, when you take Criterion\'s, OOP\'s, box set\'s and other price varations, I would imagine the collection is around ten grand..
-shrugs-

You guy\'s should visit DVDTALK.com where the guy\'s on that board have upwards of a thousand and more. \'

I ended up borrowing my friends copy and watchin\' it, to tide me over..

God bless this series.

Oh yeah and \'The Howling: SE\' came out today..Woohooo!

Edit : My mother went ahead and picked it up . On the other hand, I got \'The Howling: SE\' and going to start my collection of the classic Universal monster movies..They are OOP and goin\' for around $200.

The classic Universal Monsters went to a bit of an extreme. Didn\'t abbot and costello even have a movie with the wolfman??? or was it frankenstein.

Title: Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers - out at midnight!
Post by: Living-In-Clip on August 27, 2003, 12:55:31 PM

They did - but it is not considered part of the Universal Monster\'s movies.

It was Frankenstein , btw.
