# If you like lord of the rings
it's definately worth a read.

Aimed at younger readers than LOTR though.

# I don't know
I liked it when I was little, but I had the big, full color version with the orange cover.

I tried to re read it recently, and it's very dull. I do like The Lord of the Rings books though. The first movie was ok, but I wasn't particularly impressed with the second

# the only thing is
the only books i've read are the ones they made me read at school...
(vork and burlap, Wed 3 Sep 2003, 6:03, archived)
# hehehe
I read a lot.

Or at least I did until I found b3ta. I did read about 5 or 6 books while I was in the uk, becuase I didn't always have access to a computer

# I'd buy ebooks
but I get a headache trying to read stuff on a screen.

# i only got it
to see if there was anything extra/different from the tv series

there were some differences in story (to the soldiers that have since passed away) that were a little odd

# Personally I think
Peter Jackson is gonna be getting sick of the whole Lord Of The Rings thing by now, it's bound to of spent a good few years of his life on it now, so if he does make The Hobbit, I doubt it'd be for a looooooooong time.

And from what I've read Weta Workshop are gonna be doing teh effects of the Evangelion live action movie. Woo!

# NGE
Anime...

Neon Genesis Evangelion
(I helped save b3ta! rawr isn't really here., Wed 3 Sep 2003, 6:02, archived)
# An anime thing
basically about big robots fighting big things called Angels. THough there is a lot more to it than that.

# apparently
he's regretting making all 3 movies at once and says he'll never film more than 1 movie at once again
(I helped save b3ta! rawr isn't really here., Wed 3 Sep 2003, 6:02, archived)
# really?
I think that was the only way to do it. Probably makes editing them together tough, though because you can't go back and film more.

The hobbit would just be one. The animated version is good enough for me, though
(I helped save b3ta! kitty meow meow, Wed 3 Sep 2003, 6:03, archived)
# they have been going back
and filming more shots for each of the movies after the main film has been done.

# have they?
shows how much I know

# i dunno if this is true in the US
but over here they bring the films out on DVD then a coupla months later bring out a 'special' DVD which has extra bits in the actual movie

i didn't realise this until i'd bought the first one on dvd

# they're doing that for LOTR
and most movies have a special edition eventually.

I own brazil, but they've released a special edition of it, for example. I'd really like to see what's on it, but I'm cheap

# Come to China...
dvd: less than a $, dvd9: 2$, that 4dvd box-set was 8$ I think. Yes, illegal, but no other way of getting them here...

# my brother
works for <insert name of major CD/DVD retailer here> so i get a lot of DVDs for nothing :)

unfortunately i bought LOTR... mind you, it's still blinding

# Best ever
in my humble opinion

# You're right.
I've got the extended DVD of "Fellowship," US version. The extra scenes are actually worthwhile (as opposed to the extras on most other DVDs)...

# I've only listened to the Cast commentary
with that one, but it was quite enjoyable, unlike most commentarys

# yeah

twunts.. i haven't even opened my copy of fellowship of the ring yet... and i got it the day it came out

# Well
when watching the 4dvd set, I noticed they had a lot of fun and everything, it even became a way of life. This movie or another, it'll always be hard work...
(.the same but different., Wed 3 Sep 2003, 6:02, archived)
# I'm sure it was fun and all
but for most of the other people involved, it wouldn;t of been constant, the actors for definate, would go off and be able to do things away from it, a lot of the crew wouldn't be filming, etc etc.
But Peter Jackson, he'd of been doing basically just Lord Of The Rings for years.

# shame
