[QUOTE="Ranger REG, post: 1911057, member: 533"] Yet another Fan vs. Purist debate. I'm staying far away from as much as possible for the simple fact that I do not regard Tolkien's work in the same light as the Holy Bible, Torah, or the Koran, but a mythology, which was what he set out to do in the first place: create an Anglo-Saxon mythology. As for the Extended Edition [i]ROTK,[/i] it was ... okay. I smiled at the final curtain appearance of Christopher Lee as Saruman, as well as Brad Dourif as Grima. I like the extended fighting scene for Mirando Otto as Eowyn. I like the added House of Healing scene as well as an additional scene showing Faramir (played by David Wenham) and Eowyn meeting and falling for each other. I like the Mouth of Sauron. I've always wondered what happened to Bilbo's mithril mail. And I like all the extras in the Appendices. I was kinda disappointed that they never change the ending to include a small scene where Legolas and Gimli took their final journey. Also, the easter eggs weren't as greatly humorous than the previous easter eggs. One more thing, I had hope that they would include the live performance of Annie Lennox doing "Into the West" at the Academy Award where they sweep their nominations into wins. I missed the music video that was present in the previous two Theatrical Editions of [i]FOTR[/i] and [i]TTT.[/i] Although one of the easter egg did contain one practical joke, I was hoping for more outtakes and bloopers. My gripe? Only one. When I opened my [i]ROTK[/i] EE, it has a small pamphlet that tell me I could order a slipcase to house all three of the EE DVD sets. I logged on using the [url]www.lotrdvdbox.com[/url] address and my smile turned to frown when it can only accept credit card payment. It's as if I can't make a money order of 3 lousy US dollars and send it in. Bummer! :mad: [/QUOTE]
