Lord of the Rings, extended version back to back

[Torn blue sky]

Yeah, thats why I try not to get wasted watching movies. Seriously, it\'s going on and on. So you figure...might as well get another beer, or jack or whatever...before you know it ZZZZZZzzzZZ :yes:

[Ebonbuddha]

I have thought about doing that too.

All three LOTRs?!?!? Did you do some kind of Ironman training to prepare? lol

 

[provoke me]

I\'m not saying I didn\'t fall asleep a couple of times
But I did enjoy it, glad to see I\'m not on my own in doing this

A friend of mine (who don\'t like seeing films in the theatre and is a great Tolkien fan) skipped watching the cinema versions of the film alltogether, bought the extended versions as soon as they were released, but waited seeing them until he had all three. Then, after waiting nearly three years since the first film had had premiere and not having seen a single scene from any of the films, he watched all three films in one go! That\'s rather impressing, I must say!

And did he like them after all that?

 

[Ritual]

Yeah he did! Of course, like most Tolkien fans, he had objections to some things, but in general liked it. It must have been one hell of an experience seeing all three films at once and in the extended (and far better) versions without having seen anything before.

 

[krom1415]

Excellent, I could not see them at the cinema either but I could not wait and got them as they came out and watched them so I\'ve got normal and extended versions.

Now we need the hobbit to be produced on film by jackson
:flip:

 

[Necrontyrtitan]

I\'ve watched all three extended editions on my friends projector...so thats probably at least a 60\" screen...we\'re planning a few marathons, (Star Wars over two days, all alien and predator films, all superman films...the good ones)

But, I work at a cinema, and theres been talk of lotr marathon shown on one of our screens, with the digital projector...anyone fancy a 300\" screen?

 

[matty1001]

The biggest screen iv managed it on is my 15.4inch MacBook Pro screen! Not having a TV means everythings gotta be done through me trusty little mac! lol

 

[DrEvilmonki]

The only marathon movie watching I did was ZOMBIE NIGHT!!!
Evildead 1&2 (before 3 had been released)
Night of the creeps (GREAT MOVIE!)
Dawn of the dead.

I felt like a bit of a zombie after that!

 

[bayrodney]

I\'ve Done It...!

Me and my Brother sat down and watched Movies One, Two and Three shortly after RotK was released on DVD.
Friggen\' Awesome.
I\'m hoping to do it again someday!

 

[Orb]

Still not done that.....although I keep meaning too.
Still one of the best bits for me in the whole LOTR movie parade was the Gollum sculpting special DVD with the really fancy extented edition of TTT, when it makes you feel good about your hobby

Want to watch Band of Brothers too......

And for nostalgia\'s sake I\'d love to watch The Flashing Blade again....\"you\'ve got to fight for what you want......\" lol

Krom.....I\'ll always like the 95th......

 

[Beelzebrush]

How much additional film is there with the extended lotr set? I\'ve been meaning to them for ages

 

[krom1415]

Oh, there is a lot more film, and the story works better I think, I got the special extended DVD collection ones with 4 discs in each, these shows how the films were made as well

 

[james sequeira]

I normally put one of the 4 disk box sets on whilst i paint and listen to the commentarys and other features ect.

Off the top of my head you are looking at about 20 minutes plus per film.

What made it for me with the extendeds though was the making of each, watching the making of Helms Deep and loads of Orcs doing the hacka to keep warm in the rain was just hilarious especially when you realise they kept part of it in the film because it looked so natural lol

 

[matty1001]

I got the extended version of RoTK but its so long since i seen the cinema version i couldnt tell any difference! What were the extra parts?
