Fuck it, I'll wait for the Special Edition in November - or, rather, Christmas Day when my wife gives me it as a present like she did with the first two. . .
Posted by Malnurtured Snay (Member # 411) on :
Um, this is the special edition, Lee. Hail to the king, baby.
Posted by AndrewR (Member # 44) on :
Snay, it's not. And yes, i too will be doing what Lee is doing. Getting the SE-box for Christmas.
I wonder what will be included this year? Minas Tirith? Cirith Ungol? Nazg�l? M�makil?
tFotR: The Argonath tTT: Gollum

Andrew, WTF are you talking about? This IS the special edition release. Yes, it really is. OMG. WTF.
Posted by AndrewR (Member # 44) on :
No, it's the theatrical version release.
The RotK extended special edition comes out in November.
Posted by Malnurtured Snay (Member # 411) on :
Dude, seriously, I think the Pacific ocean air is getting to your brain (and Lee's!). There's no "extended special editon", it's just the plain "special edition" that comes out on Tuesday. Anyway, here's hoping MGM doesn't decide to release it again in November, that would suck ...
... then again, the movie'd still be worth it.
Posted by Malnurtured Snay (Member # 411) on :
Oooooh, I wonder if there'd be cut scenes with the Egyptian blood sucker ... maybe yes, maybe no?
Posted by AndrewR (Member # 44) on :
LOL - Maybe I should have clicked the link first. I thought you were talking about the Lord of the Rings. Posted by Nim the Fanciful (Member # 205) on :
Well he did label the thread with another product, so...
Is this "Bubba Ho-Tep" cockamamie in any way connected to the "Evil Dead" universe?
Posted by deadcujo (Member # 13) on :
Not related to Evil Dead at all, but it's still a great movie featuring Bruce.

I dunno about 'great'. But it is a lot of fun. Ossie Davis as JFK is worth the price of admission.

Special edition box is the theatrical release and also has the extra disc with the bonus documentaries and crap. that came out today.
the Extended box set comes out this fall and has the extended version of the movie (thus longer version of the movie...think the ~$30 box sets of the last two) plus the bonus documentaries and crap...

OK!
Posted by Treknophyle (Member # 509) on :
I just bought the extended versions of the first two. After watching them, I gave my 'special editions' to my stepson - and decided as well not to but the 3rd movie until the November release.
The extended versions are truly awesome.

Something about Return of the King? Man, I love that movie! Posted by Nim the Fanciful (Member # 205) on :
I'd rename the thread in Snay's aid, but my mod powers don't stretch into this place. Something about kryptonite.
The ROTK EE is to be the EE to end all EEs. I hope future franchises will adopt the EE Modus Operandi, it was very successful, predictable and bountiful, IMO. I definitely hope The Hobbit will come with an EE as well. Though it feels like bad luck to talk about it at this point, kind of like "Macbe".

You people do this on purpose, don't you?
Posted by Jason Abbadon (Member # 882) on :
Yeah...thus the emoticons.
Posted by Cartman (Member # 256) on :
Well, maybe not Treknophyle.
Posted by Jason Abbadon (Member # 882) on :
hmmm....no, prahaps not.
Posted by Cartman (Member # 256) on :
How the hell can you misspell a seven-letter word in a four-word sentence in a one-sentence post?
Posted by Jason Abbadon (Member # 882) on :
Because I'm tired and doing ten other things at once while at work?
That's the official press release anyway.
(BTW, I've mis-typed "and", "doing" and "anyway" during this post-and corrected them: it's bedtime).
Posted by MarianLH (Member # 1102) on :
I thought Jason's mangling of English was a foregone conclusion around here.
Any hints as to what will be on the extended edition of ROTK?
Some of the things I'm hoping for:
Grimer hurling the palantir out the window
Denethor's palantir
the confrontation between Gandalf and Saruman
Frodo and Sam, disguised as orcs, being impressed into the Mordor army
That marching Mordor army shot from the FOTR trailer
Sam using the Star of Elendil to get past the guardians.
An army of elves unexpectedly showing up at Minas Tirith to help defend the walls. Just kidding!

I'm still not fully desensitized to it.
Posted by PsyLiam (Member # 73) on :
Isn't it "forgone"?
Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :
No.

Now I would never have thought anyone would ever phonetically spell that eerie lingual tradition the british have, adding "er" after a word ending in "a", like Bananer or Kataner. If I could find out who started that and go back in time and stough his mouth full with sausages the moment before he was supposed to have invented it, the whole world would thank me.
Posted by Nim the Fanciful (Member # 205) on :
Furthermorr(dorr), Gr�ma will have many additional scenes except that, Marian.
Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :
"...adding 'er' after a word ending in 'a'..."
Actually, I think that only happens if the next word starts with a vowel sound. I could be wrong, though.
Posted by Nim the Fanciful (Member # 205) on :
Vowel, bowel, whatever. Could you give an example? I've heard the "er" thingie ending sentences, too.
-"You! Wha' ded you 'ave for loonch? Quickly, or I'll kill ye." -"Oi 'ad a benaner!" -*frobodorph* -"Aaaargh!!" Posted by Mark Nguyen (Member # 469) on :
Two examples from "Highlander the Series":
"I was in Chiner at the time."
"Yeah, but after Amander I'm next."

And from the Beatles: "I sawr a film today".
Posted by MarianLH (Member # 1102) on :
D'oh...
It's been so long since I read it, I forgot how it was spelled. I'm a bad bad bad bad person.
OTOH, no one has yet called me on misspelling "preemptively" in the "Fourth Season Rumor" thread...so I guess it's a wash.
