Just to say that I just got back from the theater about 3 or 3:30 am from seeing this. It was awesome. Excellent movie. Best I have seen in a long time.

Enjoy, when it opens on Wednesday.

how did you see that so early...

I will probably see it next week. Looks better than the first.

I plan on seeing it at least twice. The movie theater here (9 screens) has two theaters set aside for a midnight showing Tuesday.

Diss... my next door neighbor and good friend of mine manages a movie theater. They got the movie in on Monday afternoon and put it together immediately, so we watched it Monday night.

It opens wednesday. I get to see all movies before they open to public because my buddy previews them. (To make sure they were put together right, check for problems etc... and mainly to just check out all the movies, especially ones he likes.)

Hasn't it opened in the US yet??

It opens tomorrow here in The Netherlands,
but much theaters start this evening around 20:00 with The Fellowship, so they can start around 24:00 with TTT.

I won't see it untill thirsday. I can't go to the theater tomorrow evening, and I don't like the idea of seeing two 3 hour-lasting movies straight after each other in the middle of the night while I have to work the day after.

I saw the extended edition of FOTR twice so far.
It's a great DVD. Finally a DVD that brings it all!

Even the commentairies were subitled in dutch.

After seeing TTT with my whole family this week I'm sure I'll go to the theater later to see it with some friends as well.

I saw a special on television that focused on surviving the shooting during the cold and wet.

Of the three books I always felt the Two Towers had the potential to make an incredible movie. Looking forward to it.

Specail brownies.

Anyone read The Belgariad, by David Eddings?
It would make an excellent movie.

I agree. I imagine the pacing of this movie will be a bit quicker than the first. Things start to pick up quite IIRC from reading books.

*sniff* Gee. I don't know. I think I feel a nasty cold coming on. Just might have to take a sick day.

I'm wondering how they're going to fit everything into "The Return of the King". With Shelob's lair having been moved to that movie, there's a hell of a lot of material to cover...

A big chunk of Return of the King is appendices, and a lot of the stuff that's in the books is filler too. Do we really need 8 or 9 chapters of stuff between Mt. Doom and the end?

I have booked the ticket and will be seeing it on Saturday night in Manchester (where I will be anyway socialising ). I am looking forward to it. I suppose I could go and see FOTR again as I don't have much planned for this weeks evenings...

He's one of my favourite authors.

It would make a good trilogy, with some editing to cut it down from 5 books. Chances of it happening are VERY remote, of course, if it ever happens at all it will probably be animated (surely cheaper than live-action).

They are.

The director mentions it during the commentary of the Galadriel's Mirror scene in FOTR.

Damn it! The Scouring of the Shire is an important part of the story!

Are they just going to end it at Arwen and Aragorn's wedding? Or are they even going to show that?

I liked the first one. Althought it was a bit slow in places. But it was too loud. I suppose I'm getting too old as the saying goes. But even the DVD I borrowed from my brother is also too loud. Why did he mix the sound so badly? I have to turn it up high enough to hear the dialogue, but if an explosion happens, I go deaf. And why are there so many explosions when they lack gunpowder?

But either way I will be seeing the moive in the next week or two.
