Finally, some real Return of the King EE DVD info

Sure, but did you ever doubt that it would happen?

Nobody doubted it would happen. The question was when. Some folks get really enthused when questions get answered.

No, I was wondering what was up with New Line not telling us anything and waiting so long.

During the midnight screening last year, I took two bathroom breaks. This is even longer. Four plus hours of bliss, but I'm thankful for that pause button for breaks and snacks.

Worst thing about RotK? The intermission (i.e. elves talking to each other) is at the beginning. Grr...

No outtakes? No bloopers?

And why are you worried about New Line?

Cast commentary also features dialogue between split-personality characters Gollum and Smeagol (Andy Serkis)!

Is that cool or what?

Heh, the Aragorn off the cliff part was always the intermission in tTT for me. Right in the middle of the movie too.

I prefer bloopers and outtakes.

I also want a Euro-style techno-pop dance version of "Into the West" music video.

Abandoned Concept: Aragorn Battles Sauron

Wow. That would have been stupid. Glad it was abandoned.

Not sure if this has been posted anywhere else, yet, but there was a story on Yahoo News this morning on the new Extended DVD that got into some details about the new scenes.

The relevent bits:

Among the restored scenes: The scouring of the Shire, where we learn the fate of Saruman, the evil white wizard played by Christopher Lee, who was MIA from King after being deposed at the conclusion of The Two Towers; a subplot on the emerging romance between Faramir and Eowyn; Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen confronting the Mouth of Sauron at the Black Gates; and a cameo by Jackson as a pirate who is felled by one of Legolas' stray arrows.
