First quibble: That isn't in the Houses of Healing; it's in Eowyn's room in Edoras. If you look behind them, the architecture is definitely Rohirric, not Gondorean.

Second quibble: I completely agree. Not only that, he's a very verbose airhead.

Length of Movie: 250 minutes; or 4 hours and 10 minutes. That means the new scenes amount to approximately 50 minutes total. *green* And, as AbercrombieOfRohan said, the appendices are about 20 hours. w00t.

Essex, I agree with you on that. That was one of my favourite little scenes in the books. I'm glad PJ&Co. put it back in. ^_^

Rimbaud, I would think that you would need to set aside something like 12 hours to watch all the Extended Editions in one sitting.

I agree that the Extended Editions have replaced the theatrical releases as "the real films". Despite knowing that they would be superseded pretty quickly, I still couldn't help buying each of the theatrical releases on DVD when they came out.

Still, at least these Extended Editions do offer a lot more in return for the additional expense.

Nilturiel · 11-30-2004, 02:49 PM

I still think the mouth of sauron looks silly. He seems to be too small and according to me he doesn't look frightening at all

THE Ka · 11-30-2004, 10:38 PM

Wow! Awsome sneek preview... and some laughs...

For example when Boyd says, "Look how pretty i was..." Dominique gave him a doubtful look...

And, of course when saruman smacks grima...classic evil overlord to minion affection...

plus! I got to see boromir another time! Yay-ness! *Ka does victory dance... He looked ultra pretty, and with the classic-cannot- forget- deviant- grin. (I watched that four or five times... yes, i'm guilty!

) I wonder if Denethor has always thought that about him...

And when aragorn talks to sauron... it reminds me of how my friend threatens apple when his ipod breaks...Ah, so refreshing...

Lovely! Now i have to go and buy the dvd again! (I was smart and waited for the TT to come out on special edition... but, someone gave me RTK widescreen awhile back. It was sort of a thank you gift...)

Nooooo! My computer had issues with the preview, so I only got to see the first minute or so (up to the point where Aragorn shows Anduril to Sauron through the Palantir) before it died.

I'm on my mom's computer now, so hopefully it'll finally work!

Oddwen · 12-05-2004, 08:35 PM

Woo-woo! Check this out!
Death of Saruman/Grima, Gandalf's broken staff, and the MoS! AWESOME!
The MoS is very cool, if he doesn't have enough screentime. His arrogance is really cool, almost from the book.

And remember that Arwen was supposed to have a song? They think that this just could possibly be it. It sounds like Liv to me.

In short, w00t!

gorthaur_cruel · 12-06-2004, 03:10 AM

I saw the EE yesterday...I'm not sure if you're allowed to talk about illegally d/ling stuff on these forums, so I won't.

(Hey...I couldn't resist...it's LotR!)

Anyway, it's great...though it actually took away from the character of Denethor instead of adding to it on some parts. Or rather, they intensified his character from the movie. They actually make him seem insane. He loses his temper at Faramir waving his sceptre around, then falls backwards and starts hallucinating.

Another thing: sometimes, the lines just seem too..."memorised". Gandalf rides with Pippin, and a few seconds later, the Witch King lands in front of him. Immediately, Gandalf starts saying "Go back to abyss...". It just seems like he's reciting something he memorised, like a speech. It seems fine when you only look at that part (meaning it's not bad acting), but when you see the entire flow...I dunno. Same goes for Saruman and Theoden talking. Saruman asks "Shall we not have peace, you and I?" and Theoden says his speech immediately without even a brief consideration.

And urgh...I said this in another thread, but sometimes Saruman and Gandalf & co. actually whisper to each other. It'd be hard enough to hear if they shout! Theoden almost whispers "Be free of him" to Wormtongue, and Saruman hears him from about 300m above.

Well, all in all, the EE was great. The above are just a few things that I think they could've improved on.

*Varda* · 12-06-2004, 09:28 AM

Not long, not long...well, I get it on Christmas Day, but I may be reduced to begging before then.

I'm not ashamed to say I cried during the preview *cough* It looks like everything (aside from the Scouring) that I missed during the theatrical release wil be in it...I can't wait!

Evisse the Blue · 12-06-2004, 10:00 AM

Ah, guys, I can't watch the clips!

(I keep getting connection timeout!)
*weeps*
gorthaur, I just have to ask you: How's the Houses of Healing scenes? How long? Well made? Do they involve both Faramir and Eowyn?

gorthaur_cruel · 12-06-2004, 10:56 AM

The HoH is divided into two parts...the first part is when Aragorn heals Eowyn. That's about 1:20 long...it has no dialogue. Just music playing the background while Aragorn heals Eowyn. Then Eowyn wakes up, looks out the window and sees Faramir and their eyes meet. It's played rather nicely, IMO.

The second part is about 45 seconds long and that's when Eowyn and Faramir talk to each other. They're looking out to the Pelennor. Also kinda neat.

Evisse the Blue · 12-06-2004, 02:27 PM

Beautiful! Short but apparently beautiful! well, I guess they need more time to show senseless stuff like Saruman and Grima dying gruesome non-canonical deaths... Don't mind my sarcasm, guys, I'm actually very excited about this whole EE thing!

Sapphire_Flame · 12-06-2004, 03:25 PM

Lalaith · 12-06-2004, 05:56 PM

ANother question for Gorthaur: in the HofH, does Aragorn just cure Eowyn or does he do Merry and Faramir too, in canonic fashion? (almost too much to hope for...)

AbercrombieOfRohan · 12-06-2004, 06:50 PM

I'm going to have multiple cows!!!!!! I really can't wait this long. Hey, has anyone heard about them putting back the drudan forest? That was my favorite part in the book. I hope they do.

Really! Awsome! I hope they do! I'm not a really big fan of forests, being more inclined to Beaches and Shores but, that forest was a wonderful read... I wonder what PJ will do...

Unfortunately, no. Aragorn just takes a bit of cloth, wets it, dampens Eowyn's head with it. The next thing you see is her waking up and getting out of bed, and sees Faramir through the window. Anyway, in the movie, Merry feels fine enough to be one of the people that go to the Morannon!

Alas, another unfortunate no. The Druedain never appear at all. They were never shot, but WETA did make a decipher card for Ghan-buri-Ghan (along with Radagast, Tom B., Goldberry, and Glorfindel):

Lalaith · 12-07-2004, 04:37 AM

Curses! I knew it was too much to hope for...
But thank you anyway, Gorthaur, for your prompt reply.

AbercrombieOfRohan · 12-07-2004, 05:01 PM

NEW VIDEO!! NEW VIDEO!! www.lordoftherings.net has a video about the making of Pippin's song for Denethor. It's pretty cool.

That's too bad about the druedain. poo! Oh well, I think four hours 10 minutes will be sufficient. HAHAHA! 7 days!!!!

Morgul Queen · 12-07-2004, 11:23 PM

One note about MoS's 'Thee's and 'Thou's (and, canonically, the Witch-King's too) is that you use them with those who you consider inferior to you.

So MoS (and Book!Witchy) are basically implying that Gandalf is not even worthy of their time, the arrogant little buggers.

Sapphire_Flame · 12-08-2004, 09:10 AM

*cackles* This is very exciting.

Oh, and thanks, gorthaur for posting that picture of Ghan! I had a feeling that he wasn't going to be in the movies, but I wondered what he would look like if he had been. Definitely not how I pictured him

but very good nonetheless. Too bad he won't get screentime! *sigh*

Abedithon le,

~ Saphy ~

*Varda* · 12-08-2004, 10:46 AM

Definitely not how I imagined Ghan-Buri-Ghan...it would have been good if PJ had put him in, but I don't think I'll miss it all that much.

Not long left till the EE!

12-09-2004, 08:05 AM

Ive had the extended edition since saturday. I'm not going to spoil it for you, all im going to say is its bloody good

Nilturiel · 12-09-2004, 01:00 PM

only hours left.... *wiiie* I'm really excited

Sapphire_Flame · 12-09-2004, 01:20 PM

Hours?

Tha's not fair! I have to wait until Tuesday!

And thanks, Abercrombie, for telling us about that video! *sends gold stars to Abercrombie*

Abedithon le,

Rochelle · 12-09-2004, 05:56 PM

I had the chance to watch the clip and i'm absolutely excited to see the whole thing! I'm so happy that the Eowyn and Faramir romance is in there, I thought it was a character development that should have been shown a bit more than the mere glance in the regular edition.

I can't believe that you get the EE so much earlier! Where are you that it's already out?

Morgul Queen · 12-09-2004, 10:01 PM

It's been out since Thursday in New Zealand.

Tuor of Gondolin · 12-09-2004, 11:27 PM

In an interesting program gambit, TNT (tv superstation) has programmed a
showing of FOTR Friday, Dec. 10th, TTT Saturday, and ROTK Sunday,
presumably to echo the release of ROTK dvd ee. It might be interesting tt
watch, to see how they edit the movies and how the edited movie version of
ROTK works contrasted to the movie version and dvd. It looks like the TNT
movies will edit about 1/2 hour each. Not much trouble with TTT if they cut
Helm's Dike and Gimli's comic relief bits. Now if they'd only edit most of
Gandalf/Denethor interactions in ROTK).

Fordim Hedgethistle · 12-10-2004, 06:29 PM

I just this minute received an email informing me that my preordered copy of the EE has been shipped. It has left the warehouse and is heading toward me right now.

I have dealt with this same company on a number of occassions, and the last time they shipped something to me on a Friday and I got in on the following Monday. . .

*pant pant pant*

Nilturiel · 12-11-2004, 01:34 PM

The EE came to Sweden yesterday (10/12)

I saw it... and I loved it

it was wonderful..

and I have to confess that MoS looked better than I thought

Morgul Queen · 12-11-2004, 09:29 PM

The previews didn't exactly do him justice, eh?

Nilturiel · 12-12-2004, 05:50 AM

no, I think he looks kind of silly in the preview.. but in the film he looks quite nasty when he speaks

... I'm pleased

Nimrodel_9 · 12-12-2004, 01:56 PM

How do you get the clips to work?! (way back in post #50) The page comes up, but when I get the little box thingy with the controls (play, pause, ect.) I can`t get it to do any thing. I have Windows Media Player, but....I dunno. Any help?

Oddwen · 12-12-2004, 09:33 PM

I'm sorry Nim, I had problems with that too.
What I did was to open the WMP program, and in a menu there's an "Open URL" option.

Paste these.

http://iesb.net/video/rotkdvdex1.wmv
http://iesb.net/video/rotkdvd2.wmv

That should work.

Yay! Thankyou Oddwen and Morgy!

Now I just have to wait untill Christmas to watch the EE...

mark12_30 · 12-14-2004, 09:37 PM

I like my little Minas Tirith. Is that zigzag stairway up to Rath Dinen cool or what?? And it's nice to see the bridge to Rath Dinen used in the EE.

Who else ordered the trilogy slip-box?

It has left the warehouse and is heading toward me right now. I have dealt with this same company on a number of occassions, and the last time they shipped something to me on a Friday and I got in on the following Monday. . . pant pant pant __________________ Scribbling scrabbling.

(way back in post #50) The page comes up, but when I get the little box thingy with the controls (play, pause, ect.) I can`t get it to do any thing. I have Windows Media Player, but....I dunno. Any help? __________________ .:A friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart:.

What I did was to open the WMP program, and in a menu there's an "Open URL" option. Paste these. http://iesb.net/video/rotkdvdex1.wmv http://iesb.net/video/rotkdvd2.wmv http://iesb.net/video/rotkdvd3.wmv That should work. __________________ But all the while I sit and think of times there were before I listen for returning feet and voices at the door

Is that zigzag stairway up to Rath Dinen cool or what?? And it's nice to see the bridge to Rath Dinen used in the EE.
