LORD OF THE RINGS EXTENDED EDITION DVDs
?
No, I didn’t buy the original…besides, the original copy will reach local stores in the middle of January. And why will I wait for so long? I went to bidshot.com and see if someone is selling cheaper (second hand) LOTR DVDs but I only have P2,000. And I know that? that’s not enough so fortunately, I came across with this man (Code Name: FunkyMonkey) who sells DVD-R copies of ALL THREE extended editions of Lord of the Rings. I finally gave in. I will consider myself stupid if I didn’t do that. See, I almost save P6000 ! 12 DVDs for P1500.The only thing that I didnt have are the slip cases. That’s okay…that doesn’t matter this time. I can buy these original DVDs when I finally get a job. So, yun nga, FunkyMonkey and I met at the entrance of G4 at 10:15 AM on December 29 (The night before that, I can’t sleep). And when I got the DVDs, I’m so happy that I realized that I was smiling while walking on the mall. I tried not to smile but I really really happy at that moment. All I am thinking was to go home and play it.
When I got home, I immediately played it. And wow! It’s so amazing! I FINALLY HAVE IT!!!! All three of it is finally in my hands! I can see all the extended editions and their appendices without waiting every year for its release!
I want to have an LOTR Marathon in the house, but I can’t. They will not allow me. I love all these editions.
The Fellowship of the Ring became a better movie with this version. I can’t say more to it. It’s simply breath-taking as usual. But while watching The Two Towers, I was bored a bit. Can you believe it? Watching an LOTR movie bored me?? Yep. I was kind of bored but it’s fine. Maybe I’m not on the mood or I felt that scenes with the talking tree (Treebeard)? really bored me because I admit that it’s really boring. My best part in there was the extended scenes of Boromir and Faramir and also the added scenes of Saruman. OMG! I always love Saruman. Christopher Lee really did a great job on him. My favorite is Return of the King. It’s really lengthy so I have to stop at the middle to get some break. Saruman’s death scene here is my favorite. In fact, I memorized the dialogues in this scene because I love it. The Witch King and Gandalf’s fight is so short! I was a bit dissappointed. I thought it’s gonna be a major action fight here. Also, the Battle of the Pelennor fields has more action and it has been re-edited. The sequence are different from the theatrical edition. The Frodo, Sam and the Orcs scene is bit silly. How can they escape? from the Orcs easily enough? I only wish that the coronation scene is extended! I love that scene.

I will not stop there. I still have to have the special features of the theatrical edition because it’s different from these extended editions.

As of January 17, I have finished all the appendices and of course the movie itself. I still have to finish halof of the Director’s commentary on the Fellowsip of the Ring. Then, I have to listen for 11 more commentaries. 3 for FOTR, 4 for TTT and 4 for ROTK. That’s a total of 60 hours!
I will not stop there. I still have to have the special features of the theatrical edition because it’s different from these extended editions.
