Don't get me wrong. I love Peter Jackson's early zombie films and Lord of the Rings is spectacular. But I think this good ol' boy from the feilds of New Zeland is starting to be corrupted by our evil (but wonderful) American money making scheme.
It all began when he realesed the Fellowship DVD. I was so exited when I got it, but then I found out about the Extended version. I planned to sell the fellowship dvd and get the extended version, but first I was going to see what the big deal was about. So when the Two Towers DVD came out, I skipped that and waited patiently for the Extended version of that. When Christmas came, I got it and it was great. To this day I have the regular DVD of Fellowship and the extended version of Two Towers. My plan was to get the extended Versions of Fellowship and Return of the King this year for Christmas, but now I've been hearing some rumors!!!! I've been hearing that Their making an extended Trilogy box set with BONUS scenes on top of the BONUS scenes in the normal extended versions. Like a double extended version.And Jackson is able to do this because he has found the key. He knows that to nerds like us, Lord of the Rings is like crack. Hopefully this is all second hand rumor, but for my own stae of mind, I hope he doesn't do this. I don't want to have to keep getting all these freakin versions of the same movies!!!!!
When a filmaker decides to do a director's cut, thats fine. It shows that they have a level of respect for their culty fans, that their willing to share some insight and bonus goodies. But if they make two or three versions!!? Then they have become like drug dealers, always tring to get their fans hooked on the latest stuff.
