Australia finally got The Return of the King on Boxing Day (Dec 26th) and I saw it at the first session. I absolutely adored it and could have easily sat there for another 2 and a half hours. Now I feel that some sort of post-LOTR depression has set in. Anyone else feel sad that it is over? I guess there is the extended ROTK DVD and the possibility of The Hobbit on the way.

And you needed a whole new thread to tell us this? One that might come to contain spoilers which we'd have no warning of since you don't even mention what you're on about in the title? HOW long have you been here, exactly?

So the spoilers he's revealed in his post were the movie's length and the fact that it's the final installment. Hope those didint blow it for you Lee.

I think that Lee was commenting about the fact that the thread could easily come to contain spoilers, such as "Yeah, I know what you mean. I wish the part where Merry and Pippin united into a gestalt entity capable of crushing puny humans had gone on forever", and that we wouldn't know about them, since the thread title gives no indication of, well, anything.
Or possibly he's just in his usual bad mood. Tsk. And he wonders why Tom was scared of him.

Geez, as soon as Christmas is over the joy and goodwill towards all mankind go back in the box and packed away with the tree and decorations. Or in my case, it gets kicked in the balls and iced for a few hours.
Anyway, AndrewR isn't asking for spoilers or trying to launch a spoiler-laden discussion of The Return of the King. He just wants to see who else is like him: depressed that it's all over and that there is nothing left to see (unless Jackson decides to tackle The Bobbit next).
However, this could easily turn into another sort of "I'm Depressed" thread if a Tolkien fan who hated Jackson's movies comes in here.

THANKyou Siegfried! There is ANOTHER spoiler laiden thread here - I'm, yes, talking/wondering whether anyone else is in a similarly depressed state?
And was "The Bobbit" a deliberate typo Siggy? LOL!

As for being depressed about the conclusion of The Lord of the Rings, I'm not at the moment. Then again, I've only seen The Fellowship of the Ring so far. By the time I do finally get to see all of the trilogy, I suppose that I'd probably be wanting a bit more. Not really depressed so much as a bit hungry for another morsel. We shall see, though.

Would that be The Hobbit: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut? B)

Andrew are: "Now I feel that some sort of post-LOTR depression has set in. Anyone else feel sad that it is over? I guess there is the extended ROTK DVD and the possibility of The Hobbit on the way."
I know what you mean, fortunately I've heard rumors that there will be well over an hour of extended scenes in the ROTK:EE DVD.

Lee: To be fair, if someone were to start posting spoilers in here, it wouldn't be Andrew's fault. It'd be the fault of whoever posted them.
Siegfried: Isn't it a little useless to add a spoiler warning, and not explain what the potential spoilers are for? "Don't read this thread if you don't want to be spoiled about what depression is like", I suppose.

Well, TSN, it's much more fun for people to figure what the spoilers are for.
Okay, you're right, I goofed and forgot to put the movie's name in the title. I've fixed it now.
