RotK EE Rumored "longer than 4 hours and 50 min"
Tookish @ 12:36 pm EST


Editor's Note: I cannot confirm the accuracy of this report!


Nothing clear yet on the release date, let alone the disc specs for the third installment of The Lord of the Rings, however since both previous films had Extended Editions released on DVD it is fair to assume this will happen again, especially after it is rumoured Peter Jackson said the following at the Copenhagen premiere. Basically he commented that the first cut of Return of the King had a running time of four hours and fifty minutes. When asked why this was too long for theatres but acceptable for DVD, he said:

"It is different with the DVD version. People watch it at home. They can lay on the couch or spread the experience over two or three nights. That is the amazing thing with DVD. It gives a whole new dynamic and I can assure you that the DVD version of Return of the King will be longer than 4 hours and 50 min."

Unless any of our Danish readers have can confirm this then it is still rumour, however if true, this really is interesting news.

My note: Also note that Sir Ian McKellen (Gandalf) appeared on Jonathan Ross Friday night, and he said that the Extended Edition would be over five hours long.

Christmas day

We had a lovely christmas yesterday. They day started with stuff to do, but the evening was peaceful and quiet.

I had barely gotten out of bed when beluga knocked on the door. We drove up to Isen to deliver her christmas presents. Then I drove beluga home, though I should be nice, since it was friggin' cold outside, and the bus takes ages.

When I got back home I quickly ate breakfast, then helped my dad in the kitchen. When my parents had their afternoon nap, I grabbed the chance to keep one of my traditions alive; watching a silly/stupid/bad movie. I put "Robin Hood: Men in Tights" in the VCR and started watching, but by the time they got to the archery contest I was fast asleep. Guess the last couple of days finally caught up with me. I woke up again just to see Patrick Stewart in the credits.

After that I had more chores to do, but that was ok. I just took it easy, and thing got done. Eventually we could finally sit down and enjoy our christmas dinner. It was lovely, i've been dreaming of that food for months now.
After supper it was time for presents. I was very happy this year. ;) My parents were pleased with what I got them.
Some of the things I got:
* Printer for my laptop.
* Adidas watch.
* "Bowling for Columbine" DVD.
* Candlesticks.
* A nice sweater.
* Light for my movie-camera.
* "X2" collage.
* Evanessence CD
* "Lord of the Rings: Return of the King" picture.
* Necklace, ear-rings, ring and bracelet.
* A pack of "Lord of the Rings: Return of the King" trading cards.
* ect ect ect

Am very happy, and nothing will be traded. I only have to get the watch tightened.

Which Lord of the Rings character and personality problem are you?
brought to you by Quizilla



You like Frodo, a cute hobbit, with pointy ears,
who is the bearer of the One Ring.


Frodo or Legolas?

Frodo. You seem to not be happy with your quest, do
you? Well, at least in the movie. You're a
brave 50 year old hobbit in truth, still young
in hobbit years. There's no one better than
you...besides Pippin, Merry and Sam of course.
