Something interesting...

My birthday's coming up (July 10, I'll be 18), and I was going to ask for the Original Theatrical version of the LOTR Trilogy, because I already have the Extended Edition and want to preserve it. But I went to Wal-Mart yesterday to look for it, and it was nowhere in sight! Only the Extended Edition was there. Is the Original Theatrical version out of print? Are we going to have to start a petition to get the OT back in print? Or am I being fooled and it's still being sold? If not, it looks like I'll be getting another Extended Edition...

Three “Lord of the Rings: Limited Edition” sets, one for each movie, will roll out Aug. 29 (prebook July 25) at $28.98 each. Each two-disc set will include both the original theatrical and the extended version of the film, along with Costa Botes’ feature-length documentary on each film’s creation.

Neat. I'll have to ask my family NOT to get me the Extended Edition, and just give me money to get the Limited Edition in August.

Scratch that. I've got a nasty idea.

I'll just leave it on my list. I gave both my families the same list, so they'll probably both end up getting a copy for me. So then I'll have three Extended Editions. Then I'll trade one of them in for the Limited Edition. So I'll have an Extended Edition to watch, an Extended Edition to preserve, and a Limited Edition to preserve.

BTW, when I get the Limited Edition Star Wars Trilogy in September, I'm preserving that as well. That's why I've got you guys and my DVD burner. I'll only watch the Limited Editions of SW and LOTR once just to see what they look like, and then keep them protected for the ages.
