You can get the Goodies on DVD. I saw it in the shop. It was the import version, and it was $75, but it was the Goodies.
I think it's getting released down here in the next few months, if my information remains reliable.

I actually prefer watching the first movie overall, it has a better vibe to it. Two Towers definitely has more mind blowing shit in it, but at the end of the film I feel better after watching the first one. I also prefer reading the first book as well. When you read the Two Towers it tends to get a bit tedious to read IMO.
But It's still a corking film, one of the best ever.
The Return Of The King - is going to blow the first two away apparently. :drool:

The Prisoner is right. Much as I love both films, the second movie was much like the second book: a lot of to-ing and fro-ing without much going on, until right at the end. I can understand why Jackson added the warg battle and the Osgiliath sequence, because without those, there would have been even less action. Still, it's a great film. My favourite scene is still the opening of the Black Gate.

I agree with Blitz and Sydo. If I end up buying any of those three films it'll be in a box set. Much more important things to get first though, such as upgrading my X-Files collection to DVD so I can record Doctor Who over all my old tapes. Roll on September 15!
Phloggy, I thought the Goodies DVD was released here on September 1? Unless it's been delayed or something.

Going by the 10 minutes preview of ROTK, Pelennor Fields looks like it'll absolutely shit over anything we've seen before... as they said, there were 10,000 or so Uruks at Helms Deep, there's over 200,000 at Pelennor Fields... and that's not counting the Trolls, Oliphaunts and of course the Nazgul.
I can't fucking wait to see the Battle of the Pelennor Fields, but I want to see what Jackson does with the Dead Men of Dunharrow too. Considering his background in splatter, it should be awesome. And did anyone else think that the first of the evil spirits that pulled Frodo down into the Dead Marshes looked like the demon in the cellar from Evil Dead?

Winmar, the 1987 He-Man movie is available on DVD in America and the UK. No sign of it here yet though, or the cartoon series 
.

Bloody hell, I can't remember the movie! Is it good? I'd love to get the cartoon series..... 
Saw an ad in Beat magazine today for the Goodies DVD......
Btw, Strapping Young Lad are playing in Melbourne on Nov 1 at the HiFi Bar, so obviously will play shows around the country at around that time.

Brian, what's your opinion on Jackson moving the Shelob scene from the end of The Two Towers to the beginning of Return of the King? I haven't read the books so I don't know whether TTT misses out on a big climax or anything...
Oh, and the razing (sp?) of the shire isn't in Return of the King, or so Jackson said last year or the year before.

I think moving Shelob was a good move, afterall, without that being in ROTK, all Frodo and Sam do is walk before reaching Mt Doom... not much happens that can't be condensed for the sake of more action on Pelennor!
I think it's a good move, because after the Shelob encounter, nothing much happens to Sam and Frodo until they reach Mt Doom, and then it's a bit anticlimactic. The Scouring of the Shire was unnecessary, even in the book, so Jackson is probably best to dispense with it. The story ends when the ring is destroyed, there's no point carrying it on for another hour after that. Have the big battle, destroy the ring, with the big wedding between Aragorn and Arwen, and everyone goes home happy.
