To think even a digital freak like Peter Jackson shot 35mm once upon a time :(!I remember hearing that the EE Blu-rays were taken right of the DI as opposed to how the DVD transfers were done (Telecine?), but there was controversy aboutover-saturated greens on FOTR BR. I doubt WB want to fix it,especially with the market for physical media about to die. Flaws and all (and there are many, particularly in the new trilogy which could've and should've been one three-hour film at most), I love the hell out of these movies anyway, and continue to pay for The Lord of Excess' extended cuts ;). I'm waiting on the inevitable mega-Middle Earth boxed set (Which God willing, will have ALL of the extras, UV copies, the works), but given that the EE of DOS won't be of until December, the EE of BOFA will probably be NEXT December, and the boxed set some time after that. And man alive, is that a long ass wait :(. And try renting the EE's right when they come out just to see what's new, it's a bitch. Managed to get the last one at a library by carefully watching when it was returned and driving out.
