The Lord Of The Rings In Blu

[Child of Midian]

It's official, the LOTR's trilogy will be coming, most likely this fall, in
a blu-ray trilogy collection. Sounds great, right? Wrong. The box will
contain only the inferior theatrical cuts with an extended cut to follow
after some undisclosed period of time. Because, you know, they haven't
tripled dipped on DVD, we have to try to milk extra sales on blu-ray. Of
course the ultimate release would be a single collection with both cuts
(like the third DVD release) but what they want is for us to all buy the
theatrical so we can finally experience it in hi-def, then the extended when
they release it as if they were doing us a favor. They same thing just
happened with the first two Star Trek films, of course you know Star Wars
will come out on blu-ray, then, later they will release the theatrical cuts
on special editions. I strongly recommend not buying any cut of films like
these when a better release has already been released and we all know the
blu-ray will be inevitable. 

I'm already saving for the deluxe, extended cut of Harry Potter the complete
films in 2 - 3 years.
