[QUOTE="Dr Midnight, post: 468483, member: 69"] I got my copy today, with my Episode II DVD (and free though incredibly crappy Star Wars 2003 calendar) from Best Buy. Watched all the action scenes from AotC and giggled with glee until the LotR viewing party was ready to begin... only one of us showed up. First, as a designer, I'd just like to comment on the package design for the edition. It's quite possibly the best looking design for a DVD- or just about anything else- I've ever seen. The set itself is just beautiful. That rich grey-green and parchment combination is winning, and the concept illustrations are a fantastic touch. The movie- It was really good. I found myself asking over and over "why did they ever take this out?" The answer is, of course, that the running time was EXTREMELY tough on me. I was a bit tired by Amon Hen. Still, all the little things add up to a fantastic, almost new experience. The new opening scene about "concerning hobbits" is just fantastic. "At our hearts, however, is our love of peace and quiet." (paraphrased) That line was great, and it baked my chest-region with good feelings. The gift-giving scene wasn't what I was hoping for, but the lembas scene and merrymaking in the Green Dragon scene made Merry and Pippin much more digestable characters. The only new thing I didn't like was Strider's interference in the Merry, Pippin, and Boromir tussle. I'm no Tolkien scholar, but I don't feel Strider is the "all right now, break it up" type, and I don't think it helped to give him a moment to look foolish in. All in all, there's no reason to watch the original version anymore. It's there on your DVD shelf to fill space and provide you with that one disc of supplemental stuff. The theatrical movie DVD may as well be a frisbee. Can't wait to watch the commentaries and all the hours of bonus goodies... Such a feast, for twenty-five bucks. Life as a geek is good. [/QUOTE]
