I received this letter from an e-mail. Does anyone know if it's true?

Quote:

Ringer Spy Nathan wrote in with this exciting bit of ROTK EE
speculation:
"Two of my friends and I waited at the Best Buy in Richfield MN ... for
the ROTK DVD. At the end of the night, a New Line Rep keeping a low
profile at the event came up to us and told us how happy he was with our
dedication. [....] We also talked about the EE DVD, and he told us to
expect a January release, or late December, but that was unlikely. He
added that they were looking at first releasing the EE in theatres, and
that a 'super-trilogy' Tuesday was under consideration, but not a
definite, while mentioning that last year's EE releases were very
lucrative for the studio."

Cheers,
Imladris

OH I hope they do another Trilogy Tuesday! Maybe I can actually get tickets this time. It'd prefer it if we got EE on DVD first but then again... seeing it in a theater would be awesome! Nothing like a good midnight showing

I hope it's not as late as January though - that's a bit TOO long. I did read, however in Entertainment Weekly that the EE wasn't going to be released until December.

I watched through the specials on the ROTK DVD and although they are repetitive I was able to see some things that will be in EE. I got so excited and my brother got annoyed saying I was a freak etc.

Doesn't it just get on your nerves when your younger brother or sister get like that. They obviously don't get the purpose of LOTR and what it is like to be a tolkeinist or whatever they call us.

I feel your pain Lathriel, oh do I ever. Only it's not my younger brother or sister it's my older brother.

I am refered to by him as a "LO-TAR freak" honestly, why can't they just understand?

Ah well the more fun for us.

Just a question do any of your siblings make fun of the movie as you are watching it like making funny noises and making fun of the characters. I got so mad when my brother made fun during the coronation scene and even worse when frodo was reunited with his friends. I wanted to strangle him. I watched ROTK twice but i never got to watch it in peace!

Sorry I just had to rant about this, it just bothers me because I never make fun of my brother's hobby which is his train. He has a train table!!! I think that is more geeky than being a LOTR fan

ugh, you poor thing Lathriel. How immature of them.

I'd get so annoyed. No, my sisters don't do that. For one, they are all older than me and for two, they're the ones that got me into Lotr.

Sapphire_Flame · 06-01-2004, 11:43 AM

All's fair in love, war, and making fun of siblings' hobbies. My brother makes fun of me liking LotR, and I make fun of him liking Back to the Future. It's all good though, because we both like both (though I like LotR better, and the same with him and BttF).

Not until DECEMBER?!?!?!

That is so many different kinds of not fair! *sob*
